I was browsing through the website Lifehacker and found a post called, Top 10 Clever Fixes for Your Broken Stuff. When you scroll down to item #3 in the post, it has a few solutions that might help rescue your cell phone if you ever accidentally submerge it in water.
What I found interesting was the mention of a paper inside the phones that changes color when a little liquid comes in contact with it, to make voiding a warranty easier for them.
I’ve wondered how they’d be able to tell if a phone had gone under if it were allowed to fully dry before being brought in.
So now I know.
Fortunately, it’s never happened to me, and I’m going to do my best to keep it that way.

It HAS happened to us. We let it fully dry and also buried it in rice for a couple of days (everybody said that would fix it). Didn’t work.
