Damn, and I thought that was just a ready excuse...

Actually, if you do drop it in the toilet accidentally, putting a cell phone in a bag of rice will help dehydrate it. Just insert it into the bag, close it, and leave it for about 3 to 4 hours. I know it sounds insane, but the rice will absorb the water and most likely save you a repair bill.

Just trust me next time it happens, and thank me later. Originally Posted by Vyt

"but what if someone calls my phone?" or "Hey I really needed to make a call" are a couple of examples of why you have to add that for the gravity challenged lovelies and at least one male idiot I tried to help.

LOL

Wow.. that's a lot of ruined cell phones.. if I take my phone into the bathroom I put it somewhere it won't fall into open water.. I just don't trust myself with dropping my phone into the death-bowl. I would cry!


Is that the #1 phone breaker by people? Or just plain 'ol slip of the hand onto a hard surface?
