Oops!

I appear to have given my phone an impromptu high diving lesson into a toilet (thankfully a clean one) Might I suggest that you use email or landline to contact me this evening whilst my phone is recovering on a nice warm radiator.

Hahahahaha. THank you for making me smile. At least it was your own, my mum once dropped the contents of her handbag in a toilet on holiday including my camera and dads phone.

Does that mean you'll be making dirty phone calls now?

[livejournal.com profile] musingsofallama managed the same thing but into a full, unflushed toilet. The insurance company insisted that he send in the phone, even after repeated and detailed descriptions of its state. Imagine the poor little mail room employee who had to open that package...

The phone stands more chance of survival if you dry battery and phone separately, by the way.

Even then, it may be a goner, alas. /-8

I've done that - very embarassing!
Luckily sherlock_42 has little drying packs like you get in certain packaging so he shoved everything separately in a bag with those and it was all better in no time :) Still works now too, so yours should be fine - the trick seems to to take it all apart as quickly as possible.

Heh, I managed to do that one morning when I was so sleepy I managed to tangle my feet in my dressing gown cord trip, and basically throw the phone frmo the hallway, through the open bathroom door, flying perfectly into the toilet with a comedy 'ploop' sound. Would have been a perfect three point shot in basketball!

After a few days drying out the phone is still working now, two years later. ;)
