The other day I managed to drop my iPhone, tablet AND house phone into the bath - it was quite a moment!! I was given some really good advice which I thought I would share in case it happens to anyone else - and that is to put the phone in a bag of rice, and leave it alone 48 hours, the rice absorbs the liquid and you may have a chance of getting away with it - and it worked!!! My phone is working again which is a massive relief as it is a work phone. The tablet is mine and just a cheapo but that is still in rice as I could still see water behind screen, so don't know yet if it will survive. Apparently you should also turn off your phone and do not be tempted to turn it again for the whole 48 hours

When I read it first I thought it was a new meal from the Chinese takeaway

Anne, I must ask. How on earth did you manage to drop all three of those into the bath? At the same time or one by one?

Carol its obvious what happened. She dropped the mobile in first and the others dived in to rescue it. They was very brave and should be recommended for medals. At the very least Ann should treat them to a blow dry and rinse . .... Tom ....

Well... it was first bath since horrid vomitting/diarhhoea bug (cant spell that!) so I was planning on a right good soak, and they were for my entertainmanet, they were neatly piled up on windowsill above bath, I reached up to get phone but tablet was on bottom of pile and must have just been sticking ot a tad, , caught that and they all catapulted into bath with me!! It was shocking, a bit like when my little granddaughter fell in the canal!!
Tom.. I did give them a little blow dry actually - but apparently you shouldn't do that - but didn't do phone any harm - tablet still in rice!!

Hope They Dry Out OK Anne....I've Dropped More Mobiles in Swimming Pools Than I Can Remember; Hence Only Keeping an Ol'Cheapy!! The Rice Fix Would n't Work For Me.......Rice Don't Last For 48hrs Living With Jo!!!!!!!!!!
