| Just washed a cell phone I am so upset! We gave our daughter a Razr phone for Christmas. I did a load of towels and threw her bath robe in with the load. I just went to put them in the dryer and there is her prize possession pink Razr phone at the bottom of the washer! It was in her robe pocket. I ordered through amazon so didn't get the insurance. This really sucks! It was the only thing she got for Christmas that she was really excited about but what the heck is it doing in her robe on the bathroom floor?! She's a really great kid, straight A's, sweet as can be but her organizational skill leave a lot to be desired! Now the big decision- do I get her a new Razr- with insurance (she's freaking out) or replace it with the cheapest phone I can find? She's 12 BTW.

| A friend of mine got her daughter one last year. I took the girls (they are both 12) to a theater to watch a Chinese Acrobatic show and we all went into the restroom. She had her phone in her back jean pocket and when she pulled her pants back up, etc....the phone fell in the toilet! YUCK! Her mom was so mad, but I know she got another phone - can't remember if it was the same or not - I am sure it was though. My daughter doesn't have a razor because so many people told us their problems they have had w/ them (which who knows), so she has a really small flip phone w/ a camera, text, etc. --just as good and she loves it - course, she is not in a public school, so she doesn't have to show it off, I guess.

| My mom's had one for a bit over a year without any problem so I got one for myself a few months ago. My daughter absolutely loved mine and my mom's (she inherited my love of pink I think) and she was so excited to get her own. She is so hard to Christmas shop for because she literally never asks for anything so it was so nice to give her something that got her so excited. It's largely my own fault for giving a 12 yr. old a phone without insurance I guess.

| Have you tried opening it up and drying it with a hairdyer? My son dropped his DS Lite down the loo (another story) and my hubby took it apart and dried it with a hair dryer then left in on a radiator all night(on top of a towel), next morning worked good as new.

| I think you should try drying it out too first, I've washed a couple of phones myself and they have worked again later I just went through this same problem with my son, he dropped his phone (didn't know it) and then ran over it , so I wanted to buy him a Razr, cause I have one and he liked it. I went on Craigs list and ebay. The least expensive one I found was 120.00, which is better than new from my phone company. I told him if he destroyed this one, he was on his own...of course he's 21 not 12! Good luck!

| Oh I will definitely try that. I just went to Cingular online and the cost of the phone without a plan is $279! And since we already have a plan... Yikes! I'm not seeing spending $279 for a phone. This is really awful y'all! She had her little ringtone downloaded and some games downloaded and spent forever setting it up how she wanted. Who would think it would be in her robe on the bathroom floor?!! I guess I'll have to go up to Cingular and just see unless the blowdryer works a miracle.

| Thanks everyone. I blow dried it and now it is turning on but says to insert the SIM card which is already in. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it works tomorrow but my husband said if not, we'll definitely replace it.

| It's still saying to insert the SIM card and it is definitely in right but the screen looks much better (almost normal) so I'm pretty hopeful. We'll see tommorrow. Who knew you could wash a cell phone? I told my daughter, well at least you know it's clean. Thanks everyone!
