..it's not a good idea to keep your phone in your back pocket. My phone nose dived it into the toilet at work today. It ended up being ok thanks to some rice, and quick thinking. I of course fished it out of the clean water ASAP (the only other thing I would go in for would be my wedding ring:), dried it off as best I could, and let it sit on the register at work. Then I got a tip from the infant room ladies:
Put your phone in a bowl, pour some uncooked rice over it, and let it sit. The rice sucks the moisture out of the phone and presto! Phone works again, and it's 90% back to normal.
This tip comes straight from a mom whose son puts her phone in water on a fairly regular basis, therefore I trust the source! This probably would have helped many drunken college students, myself and my PT included, back in our college days when more than one toilet tried to eat our phones:) I guess it's better to learn the trick now, than to never learn it at all!
My phone took a plung out of my pocket at UT Homecoming one year! PITA... it went down the sewer!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! Thanks for the tip and the shout-out!! I had an expensive Nextel walkie talkie phone at the time - awful!! too funny that each time my phone IS in my back pocket a flashback comes to mind when I enter the bathroom! glad your phone is ok!
