Wet IPhone can anyone help

Options
My IPhone 4 fell out of my bag into a puddle earlier, I am so cross!
I can text and use the internet still, the only problem seems to be the speakers. I can't hear anything when making/recieving calls. If I plug the ear phones in I can though. So it could be worse, I can still use the phone but obviously its very annoying!
Also I can still hear the phone ringing, but no text tone. Does any one have any experience of this, will it dry out, or is it a lost cause?!
Many thanks:)

    put it in a bowl of rice it draws the wet out, you should also not use it and remove the battery for a few days
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    You can't remove the battery from an iPhone. DO NOT put an electrical charge through it, leave for four-five days in a sealed bag of rice. Changes are extremely slim if you've been switching it on or off or charging it since it got wet but it's worth a shot.
    Have I helped? Feel free to click the 'Thanks' button. I like to feel useful (and smug). ;)
