    That happened to me 3 times twice in a pond and once in the washer. If you open up your phone and wait a day or two it should be able to work. If not I suggest telling your dad, the sooner the better. So just wait a night or two and then tell your dad if it doesnt work.

    many times if you dry the phone off it will work again

    the battery might be gone , but dont try charging your phone now . Take the battery out and put the hair blow dryer to it

    Make sure it's really dry

    And you should tell your father anyways

    and do show the pain that you feel

    the remorse will soften his heart

    and the fact that you didnt hide it will show that you are willing to take responsibility and suffer the consequences

    you will show that you are trustworthy and not a deceitful liar

    do you like a extensive family members? I in no way wished a extensive family members, I relatively have 4 infants and that i'm getting reactions from some human beings like i had 14! lol it relatively is remarkable what some human beings evaluate "extensive". How vast is 'adequate'? for me...3 became adequate, yet one snuck in there...LOL he's gorgeous however so i think of we will keep 'em. What might i call them? nicely..they *are* named Kyle David, Brandon JonGuard, Delaney Josephine and Hayden Ronald. they are named for family members. in basic terms theory i might upload...i swore i might in no way force a mini van too, yet there is not any way that 4 little ones will fit in an SUV very certainly esp once you're managing booster chairs. and as nicely, mini trucks are a helluva lot safer than SUVs...my little ones safety is extra substantial than my conceitedness. and that i relatively dislike the coverage costs on SUVs as nicely. I rock my minivan LOL (it relatively is not undesirable looking the two a 2004 Nissan Quest V6), ill be upgrading in 2010 however :) the two oldest are teen and tween so momma gets her exciting wheels in a twelve months.

    Hear read this to him. 2 years ago my wife took our daughters cell for talking to a boy she wasn't supposed to.

    I work second shift . When I got home at midnight I decided to help with the laundry. I picked up my wife's pants and proceeded to wash not only my wife's phone but also my daughters phone.

    See it could be worse.

    Well, i work at the phone department at walmart. I can tell you that if you have tmobile or at&t you can get one of their pre-pay phones and just switch the sim card.

    Thats assuming that the sim card still works, and you have the money to buy it.

    if its verizon, then you can call the customer service number and get them to change it, but they have been changing things so it might not work.

    Good luck.

    Be honest and tell your father anyway.It shows maturity.Take it out and dry it off.I am sure your dad has left things in his pocket too.

    tell him if this doesnt work- leave it alone for the night upside down and open so the water can drain out.
