Sprint phone went through wash............#$%^&*(*&^%$#

my phone went through the wash...

I dont want to buy a new phone so im going to try and beat the system.

It wasnt me who did it. my little brother did it on accident. hes 11 obviously he cant do anything about it.

My 2 year contract is up in AUG. Hopefully i can get a refurbished one for 50$ or so.

if i can i plan on telling them ill cancel my service and go to verizon. i dont want to go to verizon but i will if i have to spend 300$'s on a new phone.

any advice?

Let it dry out a while and try to fire it back up. My daughter put one of my phones in the toilet, two days later it started working again!

you could leave it on a window sill for a few days to dry and try to boot it up. some phone will survive the waters.

DO NOT try and dry it at all. let it sit open for a couple days try it every day after like 3 days it very possibly could work perfectly.

its 200$ to break the contract.

the lady on the phone wouldnt do a **** thing for me. i told her that ive been a loyal customer for more then 2 years. and this is my 2nd contract. she was like greaaat...then i was like let me talk to your sup. and she was like he doesnt care.

WTF. i just want a 50$ refurbished phone.

That is why they have contracts so if you try and leave before it's over they can **** u with no lube and charge you the fee.

Just get a cheapo used one on ebay if you dont care what type of phone.

True, plus at least with Sprint his call won't drop EVERYTIME!

AT&T (the network with the fewest dropped calls my ass).
