What to do with your Wet Cell Phone?

Dry your phone. Use a paper towel to remove as much of the water as possible. You need to remove as much of the water as soon as you can to prevent it from getting into the phone. Allow the phone to dry. Since you do not want to ruin your phone or lose all the numbers in your phone book, you need to allow the phone to dry

Remove the battery. This is one of the most important steps. Don't take time to think about it, electricity and water do not mix.

Remove your SIM card ,some or all of your valuable contacts could be stored on your SIM (along with other data). SIM cards survive water damage well but some of the following steps are unnecessary i.e. don't heat it.

Apply enough heat to your phone to cause the water to evaporate without water-logging your digital screen. One of the best things you can do to save a cell phone is to set it on the back of your computer monitor or TV screen over the heat vents. This is usually the perfect amount of heat to fix your phone.

Test your phone. Make sure everything is clean and dry looking and re-attach the battery to the phone and see if it works. If your phone does not work repeat above step. If it still won't work, try taking your cell phone to an authorized dealer. Sometimes they can fix it
