Your sim card will be fine, buuut if even the tiniest amount of water got onto any of the boards inside....

Generally, electronics and water dont mix to well.

1. Take the phone out of the water as quickly as possible.
2. Do not attempt to switch it on as this may cause further damage.
3. Remove the battery as quickly as you can, also remove the memory and sim cards.
4. If dropped in fresh water dry it off with a towel. If dropped in salt water rinse it thoroughly with fresh water. I know it sounds crazy getting it wet again but salt can cause a lot of internal damage such as corrosion. Again dry with a towel. You may also want to rinse it if you dropped it in a toilet.
5. Place the phone, battery and it's wet accessories in a plastic container (like a lunch box) and completely cover it with uncooked rice, use plenty of it. Again this sounds crazy but rice has desiccating properties that help draw the water out of the phone. Do not place a lid on the container.
6. Place the container somewhere very warm and dry for at least 3 days. An airing cupboard is often the ideal place.
7. Do not use a hair dryer directly on the phone to speed up the process. Too much heat can cause even more damage.
This isn't guaranteed to work but many people have successfully revived their phones and retrieved their data using this method.
Keep in mind that your phone is on borrowed time after you do this. Make it your first priority to retrieve any data that you would like to keep. It may only work for a few minutes, days, weeks, months or it may even last years.
You should monitor the phone carefully during charging. If it gets very hot the battery may be damaged and should be replaced.
After any exposure to water you no longer have a warranty as water damage is not covered. Any insurance policies on the phone may also be voided unless you are covered for accidental damage.
A more efficient alternative to rice is silica gel. You most likely won't have enough of the stuff to hand when the accident happens but it is good to use. Silica gel can be bought from electronic wholesalers like this example. Thank you to shuntfield for this information.

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
As long as you don't try to fucking cook it a hairdryer will be fine. Sticking it in the oven (35 degrees C) overnight would be good as well.
GP i dare you to ring the fire brigade and ask them if it's okay to leave the oven on and go to bed.

I wouldn't if you have some dodgy piece of shit gas oven like everyone in Bradford uses. However if you have a decent electric oven it'll be nae bother.

Well look at it this way, if you don't do anything about it in fear of breaking it, you will surely have to buy a new one because of the water damageAmdi Peter wrote:
I was holding it between my legs and.. hey, I dropped it okay, I'm a bit clumpsey..
Well, I'm scared that I might brake it (the phone) and I don't really have the money to buy a new one..

Generally with my phones if I get them wet, which does happen more than it should, I put it in the sun for a few days with the battery/sim/memory card out.
Works a treat. Normally.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

I mean a good, electric, fan assisted oven > all. Not some povvo piece of crap electric oven. My mother bakes cakes several times a week in ours, and they're always awesome.Lai wrote:

Gas oven could cook a crappy frozen pizza in 12 minutes. Electric oven makes a soggy mess in 18 minutes, where you must then turn the oven off to de-juice for 7 minutes.
Westinghouse sucks either way.
Also this has what to do with toiletphones?
