**bunny**iphone help
DH dropped his phone in the toilet last night and thinks it's a gonner. The water sensor is red, so no warrantee protection, I guess.
He says the parts are corrated and is being very pessimistic about it, but I was wondering if you knew of any tricks... (worth a shot, no?)
Re: **bunny**iphone help
Oh noes! Is there any chance that your homeowners/renters insurance will cover this? A valuable property rider?
Thankfully, I haven't had any problems with dropping my iPhone in water, but I did drop my last cell phone in water. It just needed a while (as in weeks) to dry out properly.
We don't have renter's insurance. I'm not even sure if we can since we live in student housing... [:]
Mostly I just feel bad for him b/c he's beating himself up over losing the first one ($400) and now dropping this one ($250). We can find the money to get another, but he doesn't like throwing money away. And well, frankly neither do I, particularly since I'm the one earning it, but, whatever. Money is not all that important.
OK, well allow me to get on my "get renters insurance now!" soapbox. (It likely wouldn't cover this unless you had a valuable property rider, but that's not the point.) I'm sure that you can get it even though you live in student housing. Please please please get it. It's super cheap. I think ours is $17/month, maybe less. If some numbnuts in your building burns the whole place down, you'll need to replace your stuff. Just take 30 minutes to call insurance companies and get some quotes. Please!
The address associated with the phones is my MIL's, and we had talked about putting it on her homeowner's policy, but this is DH's 2nd iphone, so I'm not sure where it is.
Insurance websites are saying our apartment doesn't exist.
Call and talk to somebody to get quotes. Explain the situation. I am sure you can get coverage. They make money off of selling policies. Surely somebody wants to take your money.
Since the iPhone is solid state memory, it is highly likely once it dries out that it will work (memory and processor). My concern would be the screen - I don't know how the electronics are set up and it is a touch screen so that is outside of my electrical wheel house.
To bring some humor to it, dropping your phone in the toilet is the #1 cause of warranty claims and replacements on phones - it's like 4-5 times higher than anything else.
This makes me hopeful! Any suggestions on speeding the drying process?

Thanks! I'll fwd on to DH. We have rice at home, not sure if he took the battery out. He took the SIM card out; I know that much. I think he turned it off, but I'm not sure. He did clean it out. I should've paged you last night!
