It's most likely you don't have a working phone any more. Some insurance policies cover water damage, but not many. What phone is it? Do you have insurance? You can try the rice method, but don't count on it solving the problem.</P> Mon, 08 Dec 2014 17:01:36 GMT https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Android/Dropped-my-phone-in-tea-What-should-I-do/m-p/826155#M40726 Bambino 2014-12-08T17:01:36Z https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Android/Dropped-my-phone-in-tea-What-should-I-do/m-p/826167#M40727 <BLOCKQUOTE><HR /><a href="https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/24643">@MI5</a> wrote:</BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQUOTE>Did the tea have sugar in it?<HR /></BLOCKQUOTE><P>And if it had milk in it, then the fat coats everything very nicely</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 08 Dec 2014 17:10:17 GMT https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Android/Dropped-my-phone-in-tea-What-should-I-do/m-p/826167#M40727 Beenherebefore 2014-12-08T17:10:17Z https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Android/Dropped-my-phone-in-tea-What-should-I-do/m-p/826170#M40728 Yeah - I think it's toast <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":disappointed_face:">😞</span><BR />(see what I did there ;)) Mon, 08 Dec 2014 17:12:13 GMT https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Android/Dropped-my-phone-in-tea-What-should-I-do/m-p/826170#M40728 MI5 2014-12-08T17:12:13Z https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Android/Dropped-my-phone-in-tea-What-should-I-do/m-p/826173#M40729 <BLOCKQUOTE><HR /><a href="https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/403302">@Snazzy</a> wrote:<BR />I dropped my phone in a cup of tea !
