I have successfully done everything you are NOT supposed to do. I looked up some steps online and it tells you what to do IMMEDIATELY and what not to do ever. Heh. Of course I should've read the article BEFORE I dropped my phone in the water.
And I took it out of the rice this morning and plugged in the charger because I didn't know if it was working because the battery was way low. And I could get texts but not send them.
Today I was helping sis-in-law with the setup for the rehearsal dinner (it's gonna be beautiful!) and let it sit in the sun all day.
Now the text screen is just jibberish. And it says it's in 'safe mode' and that won't go away.
BUT my friend called as I was going home and I asked if she could hear me and she could! I could actually talk to her.
I'll give it more time but it's my only phone, not having a landline, so I worry that someone will need to get in touch with me. So waiting to see if it gets better and then waiting for a replacement to be sent to me is a bit of an aggravation. They don't like you at the Verizon stores if you take your phone in and you bought it through Verizonwireless online.
It's still kind of funny. Thanks for all the helpful comments and the funnies.
And monster, you were right about rice dust. I don't cook much, so...who knew?
