How to save a wet cell phone:

-Remove the phone the water as quickly as possible. Also, remove the battery and SIM card and put them aside.

-You can try putting it in a jar of uncooked rice. It can soak up the water more quickly. Also, you might try putting it in a plastic bag with silica packs that absorb moisture. You can find them in some shoe boxes and other packaging.

-If your phone falls in salt water, you should rinse with it distilled water to remove any salt crystals or other minerals before allowing it to dry.
Some experts recommend using denatured alcohol to remove sediment. I've never tried this method, so I'm a little wary of it.

-Don't attempt to use your phone if the display is foggy.

-Once you think your phone is dry, try reconnecting the battery and turning it on. If it still doesn't work, you can try replacing the battery. Just be sure to use a battery specifically made for your phone.

-Carriers will not replace a phone that has water damage, so don't try to take it back. A wet cell also will void a warranty. Most phones have a small, round sticker behind the battery cover that is used to check for moisture damage. The sticker, which is usually white, will turn pink or red if it's been exposed to water.
