I am in the dog house i was in the toilet just pulling up my jeans and suddenly heard a splash and looked down to find my phone that was in the front pocket of my jeans was now in the bottom of the toilet !! Surprise surprise it dosent work weve left it on the side to dry out and will try again in the morning. Bit of a drastic way of getting a new phone Sharon

A friend at work dropped hers in a bucket of soapy water, once dried out it worked o.k.!.. Fingers crossed!..

my fiance did the same thing once---only it was MY phone that went down the loo!!! he has also left his phone in his pocket and it has gone through the washing machine!! luckily we realised-- we quickly got the machine to empty and recovered the phone-- it did work again and still is--- it was only about a week old when this happened and cost £130!!!! lucky for him it still worked!

Sharon, it might be a good idea to take the battery out, until it has dried out........Bob

If it packs up in a couple of days which they are known too.... pop it in the airing cupboard for 2/3 days and all will be well!! :O)
