I need help fast I washed my phone last night what do i do besides cry
Thank you to the community for your replies.
I hate when that happens I can sympathize as I once dropped my phone in my puppy's water bowl. So I understand your frustrations. Do you have insurance on the iphone? To file a claim click here. If not you can purchase a certified like new device at a discounted rate. Or you can activate a older device on my verizon until you get the iphone replaced at www.verizonwireless.com. Please let me know if that helps.
Thank you
Put it in rice for three days. I have heard it helps.
Some say the rice trick works. Do NOT try to turn the phone on until you let it dry out for a few days. If that doesn't work then you're pretty much out of luck. If you have insurance then you can file a claim and pay the deductible. If you don't have the insurance then you would either have to pay full retail to replace it or try finding one for sell on perhaps ebay or something like that to save some $$$'s. Not sure if VZW would let you buy a refurbished one at a reduced price if you're not eligible for an upgrade but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Did you post this on CNET to Ask Maggie? How many people could there be that washed their iPhones? lol

P.S. the rice works, my brother dropped his in the toilet and did the rice thing hahaha
Hi kaebfly,
Thank you for your posting and for your question about purchasing a phone from Verizon Wireless if the "rice trick" doesn't work and the OP does not have insurance. I have good news, since we do sell Certified Pre-Owned equipment. We offer pre-owned feature phones and Smartphones that you can purchase, and will tide you over until your next upgrade is available.
There are great benefits to this program, including the following:
-The devices have a 12-month warranty
-The devices are insurable
-The devices have a 14-day return period
-There is no service agreement required. (So, no extension of your equipment discount eligibility date or your current agreement)
-The cost is much much less than the full retail cost
-The devices have passed a 100+ point quality check before being sold
You are able to review the available devices here:

I hope this information is helpful. Have a good day!
