Phones and H2O

[awick14]

I had a small cup of water on my night stand. It had maybe 2 inches of water in it and this morning it was knocked over by my lovely cat. There was still just over an inch of water in there so it wasn't much that spilt, but urg.

I'm hoping after 3-4 hrs in rice that it will be ok. I have an otter box so only a little water got inside of it, the phone was basically dry.

Urg this is so stupid. I need my phone because I am expecting a few calls from work.

And I guess I am a post whore today. Lol

I've had that happen. my phone is in an otter box too. it's usually fine, even without the rice. I've only used rice if I actually dropped my phone IN water.

I've done the rice thing when my phone got REALLY wet while boating. I left it there for 24 hours and it worked! Good luck

Yikes @moonbeam. My phone has NEVER been out of the otter box since I bought it.

I know the moment it comes out of the box I'll drop it. (I drop my phone 10-15x a day, ok maybe an exaggeration but still.) I even took my phone out of the otter box in the middle of my bed, with the bag if rice on my bed.

I deleted, but my phone is up for an upgrade anyway and was a 5-year-old flip phone. So no big loss I guess.

I think your phone will be fine. It sounds like it just got splattered with a little bit of water.

I figure it will be fine but I'm scared it won't be. Lol

I figure if I leave it in rice for 2-3 hours anyways then everything will be fine, I am just so lost without my phone.

@moonbeam- it was defiantly a good thing then, maybe now you'll catch up with technology.

I hate when this happens. It happens to my H quite a bit. He's very unsafe with his phone lol

I am too.

My phone works just fine. I probably just over reacted but my phone and I are quite close and I could stand to lose her (him? IDK) lol
