I washed another cell phone today. Though it may already have been toast before I did it. I blame last night’s deluge. I got soaked to the skin while running around on the roof making sure drains weren’t clogged.
Entering the house, I stripped off my clothes and left them in a pile on the tile. This morning I threw the still soaking wet clothes in the washer. After the machine ran for a few minutes, it occurred to me that I hadn’t seen my cell phone today.
Now the cell is sitting in a bowl of rice hopefully recuperating. I just put two hundred pesos of credit on my phone yesterday.

Maybe you should consider putting your cell on a laynard.... I did this for awhile until I got used to having a cell....
Linda washed one before Christmas, she has been keeping the new one on a hook in the entry hall out of fear of forgetfulness. Now it's a full time job catching up on all the missed calls. Do they make phones that can go through a wash cycle? There has to be a market for a product that acts like a Timex...
You have a serious problem amiga:)
....or maybe a waterproof case? Nice to know I'm not the only one who does things that make my husband ask, "How in the world...?"
To everyone, yeah I sound like a flake, but I've had cell phones for 10 years and never forgot until last November.
My first Mexican cell phone lasted almost 7 years! I had to replace it because the keys wore out.
I was in a panic due to the unseasonable 30mm of rain that seemed to all be falling at once last night. Who empties their pockets before going outside?When I entered the house soaking wet,husband wrapped me in a towel and I left the clothes on the floor. I changed into dry clothes and went around and mopped up water.
I appreciate the concern, but I really am not getting senile.

What a considerate Husband
:)
You took the battery and SIM card out of the phone right? If you manage to salvage the SIM card (but not the phone itself) you can put it in a new phone, retain your number, your contacts and your $200.
Good luck!
Ron & Kathy, he is a keeper.
Joanne, I bought a cheap phone for two hundred pesos (how much is that $16 usd?)yesterday. I put my sim card in it. The guy told me that I can sell the sim card that came with the phone and my broken phone to a place that buys used cells.
I will probably break even in the transaction.

I've never laundered a cell phone but my old one went for a swim in the pool! The bowl of rice didn't help...
Joanna, I think cell phones with cameras are more fragile than the old ones. I'm happy with my new cheap phone.

Theresa
