Dropped my phone in the toilet I've got it in rice right now, but I didn't know enough to take the battery out immediately so it might be fried I don't care about the phone so much as the pictures I had on it. I didn't have them backed up. I've texted a lot of them to DH or my mom so I can recover some, but there are a few special ones that I never sent. Boo.
Anyway, send good vibes to my phone that I can at least get my pics back
Good luck. I left my phone outside on the deck a few years ago ( I blame it on the booze) and of course it rained. Rice did not work for me but luckily I had just backed up to the iCloud and I was up for a new phone. I know tons of people for which it's worked.
