So I go into a bathroom when gassin' up the "Black menace" (see avatar)

and FLUSHED MY PHONE down the thing.

It didn't quite make it the first time, and I thought, "Hell, it'll never work again, and if it does, "I" sure's 'ell don' want it.

So I flushed it AGAIN

Drove clear out to Verizon to see if I was qualified for a "free phone," nope --not till October.

On the way in the parking lot, I had to explain to "some woman" that "here in the U.S. we drive on the RIGHT half of the road."

and.............drove home and ..........re...........activated...........my old phone.
 
Yep that phone was done. At best all you would have got was crappy reception.
 
Well all is good, 'cept 'o course, the lost numbers that I'd added to the new phone since last using the OLD phone. Wasn't smart enough to back it up to the website......................

Just a hint for next time, waterlogged phone's can be dried out by putting them in a bag of rice for a few days. The dry rice grains pull all the moisture out of the phone, usually leaving the phone working just fine. Haven't done it myself, but I do have a few friends that have fixed their previously submerged phones by doing that.

Now, the biohazard is a whole different story.

I used to WORK on this stuff, "back when" you could. About two years after the original type Motorola "flip" phones was the newest stuff I was into

There was NO WAY I was gonna go fishin' for that phone!!!

I didn't like the damn thing anyhow
 
dropped mine while installing a toilet so the water was clean , forget the rice just pop the battery right away and open it all up and go at it with a hair drier on low heat darn thing worked better after than it did when I dropped it
