Wet Phone(s)
My friend called the other day after I got the iPhone. He too just got a new phone. “Did you get iPhone?” He told me, “No, just replaced my Motorola…”
I didn’t know what happened to his first one.
“I washed it in the laundry, and I needed to replace it.”
And a colleague at work dropped his out of his shirt pocket, and into the toilet. Like my friend, he had his replaced.
Well, in my consternation to get in the house Friday night (err, Saturday morning), I rushed from the car, through a downpour of rain, and into the house. It rained hard all night long.
On Saturday, after setting-up the iPhone, I learned I’d need these two websites.
I walked outside, and what did I find sitting in the yard? My work cell phone.
It was outside all night, I must have dropped it.
It was “off,” and so I opened it up, and took out the battery. I was panicked. I put the phone into the car, and there it sat until this morning. (The car is hot, and I figured it was a good place to dry things out.)
Upon plugging it in this afternoon, it worked. I replaced the battery. That worked!
So, while it had me worried… your cell phone can still work after getting wet.
