take the battery out and put in a bowl of white rice (not instant) over night, it should be okay.

Last year, James put my phone in my gin and tonic. I had to take it all apart and let it sit for a few days and it was fine. A couple of the screens look a little water logged, but I can see through them no problem. I bet the rice will speed up the process! Good luck!

The rice worked alright, took the moisture out of the screen, but its not turning on... I put it through an entire laundry wash. I'm gonna call At&t today. see if I get an operator that I can plea with. :-) Thing is I really didn't like the vu. Touch screen is kinda a pain. so the irony is perfect almost. I'll leave it in the rice for a day or two.

Ok here's the most updated info on both Cell Phones:

I lost the go phone I had been using it must have fallen out of my pocket in the driveway and was found by my uncle, but he just took it and left it on the boat that is also in the driveway. Mind you the weather has been Awful MAss got a record amount of rain for the month of March. The rice worked! SO I gave up on finding the go phone and replaced the simcard so my Vu works perfectly now!! (Thank you for the suggestion you saved my phone!!) I told my uncle the the phone I put through the laundry was working again, and he asked "what about the cell phone I found in the driveway?" I said that was my other phone you and Aunt Cyndi helped me get in September. He said oh, well I either threw it out or its on the boat in the back. (not sure why he didn't just bring it inside there are a bunch of people that live in the house 3 units not including the garage I live above) luckily he put it on the boat and did not throw it out! I put that phone in the rice and now that is dried out and works perfectly too. the whole ordeal only $20 to get a new simcard at At&t (which is normally $25 but the guy gave me a break because I only had $20 in cash and was not sure how much was on my card).How's that for a book? all and all I have both phones again so if I happen to launder the Vu again I'll have my Go phone to back me up.
