Washed phone.
 

Is it possible to rescue a sim card from a mobile phone that has gone through a washing machine.The phone is screwed but IF I could save the sim and the account?

Oh BTW it wasn't my phone it was my son's.I never leave anything in my dirty washing. :angel: Trouble is because I don't, I forget others may not remember to. :rolleyes:

I've accidentally washed a SIM in the past and it ended up working fine - yours should be fine.

leave them both in the airing cupboard for a few days. if you're lucky, they might both work :)

Re: Washed phone.
 

No the phone has gone!!! I'll try getting a cheap or second hand phone to try the sim if the advice is that the sim should be ok. ;)

you mean "gone" like the lost sock syndrome in the washer

Re: Washed phone.
 

No,gone as in completely dead as a parrot. ;)

Re: Washed phone.
 

humour me, try it. what have you got to lose? ;)

Re: Washed phone.
 

until its totally dried out you never know it might still be alive

Re: Washed phone.
 

my thoughts exactly. however, if it were me, i might not want it to work (see it as being 'forced to upgrade'? :D ;) )

Re: Washed phone.
 

Oh come on I already dried it out,tried turning it on then tried to recharge it.Nothing,de nada,dead as the famous dead parrot in the MP dead Blue Parrot sketch. ;)

insurance claim?

Re: Washed phone.
 

If you get another mobile it will need to be able to work with the sim so you will either need a new mobile that is on the same network or a mobile that is unlocked.
My old mobile went for a swim in our outdoor pond in Peterborough, 24 hours on a warm (not hot) radiator opened up with it's battery out and it was fine for about 6 months until I upgraded it.

'look it moved!'

fair enough, i'll shut up now :p:

Re: Washed phone.
 

Frankly he doesn't deserve an upgrade...anyway I'm the one that pays the bill for it so he gets what he gets...UNLESS he agrees to pay for a new one.

This is the second phone he has borked in two months BTW. :mad:
