When your Iphone goes for a swim...

When your Iphone goes for a swim you think your world has come to an end, that you are empty without your gadgets. Maybe you think, it was time for an upgrade anyways and you head to the Apple store to buy a new one.

Well I am here to tell you that there's hope, even when you accidentally dunk your Iphone in the toilet. I am an expert at drowning phones. Drowned my Motorola Razor many times, my BlackJack a few times, our work phones, the Ascoms and Spectralinks, more times that I can remember. When I got my Iphone 3G I vowed to be extra careful with it, and life was good had it for a few years and no accidents.

Last Saturday was a crazy hectic day and my Iphone accidentally drowned; it was dead, immediately I started CPR (CellPhoneRevival) following the steps that had successfully worked with all my other phones and by Tuesday evening my Iphone was as good as new.

I have to confess that by Sunday I had already bought a new 3GS because there's no way I could be without a phone for 3-4 days, and yes I was ready for an upgrade. But if you have an old phone ATT phone around you can swap SIM cards and wait while your Iphone wakes up from its coma. My 3G is going to friend that's in need of a 21st century phone.

Here are the Cell Phone Revival steps:

1) Quickly dry the phone, if able remove battery

2) Remove all excess water

3) Use a hair dryer (or a hand dryer)

4) Dont try to turn on the phone let it be for 3-4 days

5) If able fill a tupperware with rice and stick phone in it for 3-4 days

Preventive Steps: Buy a waterproof case!

I'm just saying...
