Ancient phones rule!

So everyone here knows how anti-technology I am. Everyone knows how much I love my 9 year old Nokia phone. Well, it lives again. I was car shopping with my dad the other day and it was sitting on the center console. I stopped short at a red light and it slid straight into a nice tall glass of ice water. Plunk!

It has been dunked several times over the years, so I knew the drill. Take the battery out, dry it off, put it in a bag of dried rice for a couple days. Put it back together tonight and heard that familiar dee dee dee dee deeeee. It lives!

Do that several times with your Iphone and see what happens.

I've got a rotary phone, avocado green circa 1970 at home, but I gave up the landline when I got a cell. It was a big step for me.

I've got an old Crank style phone, wood box, black earpiece circa 1930 at home, but I gave up the landline when I got a cell. It was a big step for me.

I fixed it for you Sandy.

I wish I had a crank phone. It would make fishing much easier.

I did that with my crappy pantech phone except in saltwater!! It fired right up the next day.

I have done that with my I phone 4 , It was left in my pocket when I got in the water to wade and it never even turned off! Two days later dropped it in the bottom of a john boat that was full of water from a storm... again it never turned off. I never put it in rice or even tried to dry it off. I know it was a rare case and I was really lucky but hey, I can't say anything bad about that particular phone.

Sandy...I've had 3 smartphones in the last 2 years...guess what I'm using now? My old 5 year old Gzone, water-proof, shock proof...and most importantly FlatoutFishin proof, and the battery last for like 3 days between charges! Sometimes, you just need to step back a little! And did i mention the $60 less a month due to NO data charges!

All cell phones suck...many an innocent man has been busted by a wife or girlfriend going thru his cell phone

Sounds like first person knowledge to me.
