Ok, ok, I know how stupid it is, but have just realised my mobile was in myjacket pocket when I shoved it in the washing machine. It was on fast rinse when I realised..... (lots of swearing). I am hoping I havent lost all the numbers, and phone currently in a bag of rice. Anyone texting me.....sorry

If you have you numbers on the sim you will be ok if not think you lost them now
                                                                                                                                                                             

Hi JP, got most on it but hadnt saved all of em over...., nor had I downloaded my photos. Sim's ok though.

Not the end of world just irritated at myself.                                                                                                                                                                             

oh dear get the hair dryer on it hun hope its ok.

                                                                                                                                                                             

Oh no RB.. I'd be gutted too  I once dropped mine in a sink of water.. I took it all apart, got hair dryer on it, left it on a radiator over night, but it didn't work again 

I've heard since, that the rice is supposed to work well.. as long as it's not egg friend rice!   

Have you got an online account for your phone?  You may be able to find your numbers there, if not like jp says, you've probably lost them all.                                                                                                                                                                              

I've heard of so many people recently dropped phones down the pan or otherwise got them wet that I think I really must now synchronise mine to a computer and start regularly backing things up.

Sorry you had to have it happen to remind me.                                                                                                                                                                              

Karey, where do you get your Chinese take away from? Egg friend rice???? I wouldn't eat there again if I were you! Lol                                                                                                                                                                             

Hahaha Kev... well spotted .. and here's me thinking my canabalistic tendencies were going unnoticed 

                                                                                                                                                                             

  Could've been worse Kaz      It might have been Egg   Fiend   rice                                                                         Sorry RB     My commiserations for your sad  loss                                                                                                                                                                                       

Ahhhhh Emz... that's the dessert 

Soz RB don't mean to hijack your thread... hope you get it sorted


                                                                                                                                                                             

@RB, oh matey...not the way forward.. soggy phones are not good, although its slightly better than my line manager who managed to drop her phone down the toilet...

She dried it out on radiator it took days but miraculously.. it came back to life ...although this was in the days of the Nokia half house bricks!!

((Hugs coming your way))

Its buried in a bag of rice (neither friend no fiend lmao) next to radiator. Here' hoping......been told that someone who knows wot they are doing (obviosly not me) can get info off the memory, so once dry, will ask my 9 year old nephew                                                                                                                                                                             

My daughter had dropped her Iphone into a puddle couple of weeks ago, put it in rice for a minimum of 3 days in a sealed container but it wouldn't charge. Took it to the shop and luckily it was just the charging unit that was broke. I have heard that instead of rice those sachets you find in new shoes or packaging to keep items dry work better than rice, have not tried it though

Manically tittering!!!!                                                                                                                                                                             

  It's called "silica gel"* Lynn and it's specifically placed within packaging to absorb any moisture that may arise due to condensation   Stuff that is shipped by airfrieght is often subjected to "sub-zero" temperatures, which WILL give rise to condensation as they come back to local ambient conditions    I always save them and have a nice stash now for "emergencies"   I keep a few in my toolbox too   * I'm sure it's available from good hardware stockists, maybe even out there on tinterweb                                                                                                                                                                               

Or,  just an excuse to buy new shoes ??? 

                                                                                                                                                                             

phone dropped off a shelf into a tub of baked beans once, not as bad s fishing out a toilet I suspect                                                                                                                                                                              

table salt is very good for soaking up the damp......

                                                                                                                                                                             

oooh I'm with Izzy....new shoes...maybe even a new handbag....mmmmm                                                                                                                                                                              

Well the combination of rice and radiator worked. And everything is still there WOOP WOOP.
