Please Help! Dropped my phone down the loo!

Hi guys,

I had a serious moment last night and dropped my phone down the loo! I dont even know how it happened, it just fell out of my pocket.

Anyway, luckily I think I am due an upgrade, so even though the phone has gone to a watery grave, I should be able to get a new one. However I was wondering what would happen if my sim card turned out to be broken as well. I havent been able to try it on a different phone. I really want to keep my number and the same contract, so do you know what I could do if it is broken?

Any advice would be great. Thanks

having plenty experience of phone vs Loo the sim's have always been fine with me...even dropped phone in a coffee a while ago (dont ask!)

IF the sim turns out to be faulty (which I doubt) your network provider can provide a replacement sim for you

Call the network and tell them sim broken or something and you want a replacement. Bob's your uncle and Mable's your Auntie....

Phew, that sounds good, so if I go down to the local phone retailer this afternoon and pick up a new phone hopefully the sim should work? Should I tell them the last one met a watery fate, or wait to see if it works and if not get them to replace it?

Ahh bless. I never understood how anyone actually managed to drop their phone in the loo until yesterday! If you could have seen my face I am sure it was a picture! :eek:

Whether the previous one works or not, you should get it replaced after its gone into the loo - its likely to be damaged in some way or form and possibly a bit smelly

This has the makings of a new sitcom :rotfl:

By the way the phone might still work - leave out to dry by itself for a few weeks.

It would not have happened if you had been a man.

He would have put the seat down after him!

Yerh I am always getting in trouble for not putting the lid down! Although not sure that I know many men that dont put the seat down, never mind the lid!

I didnt even want a new phone, I was just going to have money credited to my account instead. Now I have the trauma of trying to pick a new handset too! I am assuming that I can upgrade in store? Vodafone used to let me, but on Orange now, so I am hoping so.

Panic over. New phone, new sim, same number, same contract! Phew! I will try not to throw this one down the toilet! lol
