How can I repair my phone after dropping it in water?

Answer:
Cell phone, I take it. Is the phone through a plan? Dropping the phone in water will void the replacement clause, in the contract. Open up the phone. Do you see a red dot? Your phone has been damaged by moisture. Remove the sim card. Let the phone thoroughly dry out. Put everything back together. If the phone still does not work. Open it back up and remove the sim card again. Buy a go-phone(cingular). Put the sim card from the original phone in the new one. It will appear that you still have your original phone, and will avoid charges for a replacement phone.

I dropped my phone in water one time and a friend said put the phone in a bag with rice in it. the rice will soak up the water in the call and it works. i know it works i did it to mine even after it was 2 feet underwater for about 5 minutes. it depends on the phone some people are lucky like me

I had a friend who did that. She fixed it by putting it in the oven at like 150 degrees for 20 minutes. She said it worked so give it a try. It can't hurt anything and you may have to buy a new phone anyhow.

take the battery out, let it airdry for a day or two and pray it works when you put it back together.

As a cell phone retailer for 15 years I can say all of these answers are correct. So (as usual ) I can only add more content. Cell phones cost 200 dollars or more. (ones for contract plans). It is not advisable and technically not politically correct to buy a Go Phone and use the Sim card from your wet phone. Trying to find a torx tip to fit the cell phone to take it apart is tricky. Not even Radio Shack has those. No reputable repair facility will touch a wet phone. Phone replacement outside of contract and legal rebates is 200 plus. Yoiu get the phones cheap for starting the service or upgrading. Your free phone cost the store where you got it 200 dollars. Good luck
hair dryer on a cool setting might do the trick, then again it might not
