after doing this a few times, and having verizon, that doesnt use sim cards, i have learned to keep a backup list on my computer of the names and numbers

I almost lost all my numbers when I damaged my phone after falling off a bike and landing on the screen. Thankfully, Verizon could get the numbers off it, and I skirted off before paying the $10 they wanted to charge me for the service. Always keep a back up list of numbers.

Take ithe battery out and put it (the phone) in the oven on the lowest setting possible. Let it sit until it is dry...make sure you watch it so it doesnt melt.

Once that is done, try charging the battery...you may be surprised //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I have had to go diving for several phones when I lived on the lake. Each one over the years worked after a good dryout.

After I threw my phone in the water when i thought I had missed that buck, it was soaked and my sim card even had mud on it..

Phone still doesn't work, but I can't believe my sim card still does!

how ironic.... I am developing another side of my business (with a business partner) in direct relation to this very same thing... we are going to be able to store SIM card information in a secure Site that requires a bar code and user password to access. We are going to start with Cingular and T- Mobile (sim card phones) and progress to standard digital phones like Verizon, Sprint, Etc. (getting all the adaptors, cords and programs will be an investment $$$)

One small monthly fee gives you unlimited access to update or D/L your contact info and it CANNOT be "cracked" or stolen by anyone BUT you! Not even we will have the access. .we will just be providing the safe and secure storage.

When I worked for the cell phone company we received a ridiculous amount of calls about this... at that time the SideKick was the only one with this capability through the Danger SK site.

sorry to hear you lost the contacts... encourages me to get this developed...

that's the funniest vent I have seen-- sig worthy

did you already try to turn the phone on with it being "wet?" That's the worst thing you can do-- always take the Batt out IMMEADIATLY and remove covers, cases, whatever comes off ..then let it sit for 48-72+ hours on a dry napkin or in a sealed container/bag with those little packets that come with electronics to keep the moisture out.. I cant think of the name -- silica??? dunno.

(p.s... SIM cards are just little electronic chips-- as long as you don't bend, cut or break them or scratch the gold contacts they will survive)

wash it with distilled water first. i've saved a few phones this way. regardless take the battery out and you midas well pitch it chances are its going to be shot.
