    My phone got wet a couple of hours ago. I brought into Verizon Wireless and they tried to turn phone on using another battery, but it wouldn't fully go on.
    The tech service guy suggested leaving it for a day to dry it out, and then if the phone fully goes on he could test the circuits. I just got this phone 2 months ago with my new every 2 for free, and he said it would cost me $239 to replace the phone since I don't have insurance. He did mention that I could call customer service and explain situation and ask if they could give me some kind of discount.
    I know I remember reading something about placing the phone in a bowl with rice, to dry out the phone, but I don't know how successful that will be. Is there any hope for the phone?

    yes thats true.
    take out you battery and put you phone, and the battery in a bowl, or pan of rice. make sure the phone and battery are fully covered with rice. also, use qick cooking white rice.
    Hope this helps
