Our phones are our lifelines-- to clients, friends,and family. Okay, I wanted a new phone-- but I did not drop it in the pool on purpose! How many of us have dropped, kerplunked, flushed, drowned our most important tool for our business? Here is a short video on how to give your phone CPR--- and perhaps revive it from an unexpected plunge !
hey you can put your phone i a bowl of rice and it will be dried out in a few hours, it works I have done it and my wife worked at AT&T and they tell people to do this all the time
Ken, I think the rice works just like the silica gel paks in the video! These tips can help all of us with butter fingers! Kathy
There is an app for that! Great video. How about don't take you cell into the hot tub.
I flooded my laptop with water and kept trying to turn it on. Wrong. I also used a hairdryer on it. Wrong. Burned everything out. This is good info for the next accident. I guess it would work for computers also.
I was going to say rice works... but got beat to it... Got told that just a couple days ago from a computer company...
My husband accused me of doing it on purpose, so I could upgrade to a Blackberry! OOOPS! Kathy
I have lost 2 phones to pools from my shirt pocket, DUH, and another to the pool during a brief swim (Trunks pocket, DUH). No success trying to dry any of them, and dealer said it was not possible! I almost want to soak another phone just to try your remedy!!! Thanks for the training!

Great idea...I will try it the next time i walk into the pool with my phone in my pocket.....I was in there at least 5 minutes before i realized it was with me.....Thanks
I assume this "fix" also works for phones dropped in toilets. I've done that TWICE. Thanks for an informative video!
Were you planning on swimming or you tripped and fell into the pool or how in the world did you really drop your phone and it happened to go in the pool? Now I want to know how you got it out of the pool? At least I learned the rice trick in case it ever happens to me.
