    Posted: 09 June 2005 at 7:35pm
 
    Well, today on this perfect last day of school, me and my friends decided to visit some pool parties, since there was about 5 going on. Once I went home I changed right into my swim-suit, which is where I decided I would put my wallet, keys, and my cell phone. The first couple places we stopped at were fine, I remembered to take everything out of my pockets. Then, at the third house we played a little basketball before we got in the pool, after playing this game of basketball I was sweating like a hog. So, without thinking, I jumped right into the pool. I repeated this process a couple times before I realized....yup, everything was still in my pockets. My wallet and keys still work (yay) my cell phone however, is done for (boo).
    Or maybe not, I opened it up to let it dry out, so has anyone else ever saturated their phone in water and have it dry out and be in working order again?

Anyways, moral of the story, check your pockets before you swim. Or even go to a pool party for that matter, high probability you might get thrown in!

Use a hairdryer. My friend has done that several times and a hairdryer worked every time. Not guaranteed though. Might have just been luck.

my brother did almost the same thing but he put his right in front of the intake on our dehumidafier and put it on high.  His cell phone worked until he threw it at the wall for bringing him news that his girlfriend wanted to break up...

Good luck getting it to work.
