That's a bummer, KiKi! I don't know if you still want to use your phone after it's been sunk in the toilet, but it can be dried and possibly work again. My son jumped in the pool with his, my father-in-law jumped into a lake with his, and a friend of my son's was pushed into a pool with his. Just take out the battery, towel it dry. You can put the phone in rice, blow it dry with a blow dryer, let it set out in the sun, etc. You'll notice condensation on the screen, but in just two days, using these various methods, all their phones came back to life. There's a little dot on the inside of the phone that changes color once it's wet, so your warranty may be invalidated, but hopefully your phone work anyway.

So far, my day had been good, but it's still early. :)

One of my husbands employees dropped her phone in as she was flushing it with her foot. And phones do get sucked down by industrial toilets. =)

Had that kind of a day last Friday....and WATCH OUT....they come in 3's!

#1. My new couch that I got a month ago ripped all the way across the back. The fabric actually just frayed. We spent a little extra on it because we wanted quality. #2. Went to a concert and someone stole my new jacket (just purchased that day) off the back of my chair. #3. Mother of our god daughter called to let us know our GD was is SERIOUS trouble. All this in one day. I should have stayed in bed!

I'm still trying to figure out the phone-toilet proximity issue. Unless it was on the edge of a counter and was accidently elbowed into the toilet?

I have had days like that...but thankfully today is not one! (Tapshoes says hastily crossing her fingers)

Lol it was in the back pocket of my trousers, when I pulled them down to pee it slipped out of the pocket! Luckily it was clean water! XX

Also to add to that day my brand new bed collapsed and I lost my purse/wallet! I guess the thing about 3's was right!

Look up - Is there a dark cloud over your head? Wow, you do seem to be having a string of untoward experiences! Bed collapse?? Lost purses - hope you have quickly cancelled all your cards, notified the bank etc...

Just dropped my mobile phone down the toilet!

Any one else having one of "those" days?

Been there and done that. I had to get a new phone and I made sure I had insurance on the new one. They are way too expensive not to have it. Hope things get better!
