Cell Phone Died

[lumberjack]

My cell phone was kilt yesterday, and I lost all my numbers. If I'm supposed to have your number(s), send it my way

 

[OTGBOSTON]

did you sit on it?

 

[lumberjack]

Haha. Dunked it in the lake, fixed it, then ran it through the washing machine that night and it didn't wanna come back.

Not even a chuckle over the license plate, been waiting years to use that picture!

Lots of information on the web about repairing water damaged phones, but I dunno about having been in a washing machine....

 

[Strikermike]

Whoa, Never done that. But I have some of the cleanest pocket knives and small scredrivers known to man.

 

[cybergeek23851]

I think you had my old number at one point. I'll PM you my new one.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Don't you have a dryer?

Don't you have a dryer?

I watched a dumbass drop his in the ocean today. he thought it might work if he could find it.

I had an orphan calf I was feeding, dropped my phone in a bucket of milk! Slow motion drop, with a big kerploooooooop. Strange buzzing, beeping noises.

I rinsed it off with water, put it on top of a fence post in the winter sun. Came back after checking the herd, and it worked fine.

I remember a soccer mom going to the porta-john....dropped it right in. I think she left it there.

"Just let it go, man, because it's GONE!"

Normally the oven for a couple hours at 150* does the trick. Of course when I took it to the shop to get the numbers swapped, it started working again, although it needed a little more work.

Cell phones can take a lot of chit, and keep on ticking. I've known a few people that sent through the wash and they worked just fine after a light fluff dry.

 

[lumberjack]

The phone before this one made it to it's 4th soak/dry before it wasn't any more, but I still managed to get the numbers out of it.

 

[gf beranek]

When will you learn?

 

[Paul B]

LJ, you want my number? come and get it

 

[Old Monkey]

Your card inside the phone should be OK and should have all your numbers.

Cellular South doesn't use SIM cards.

Renegades...heathens...TURKEYS!!!

 

[stehansen]

I've done that trick at least a half a dozen times.

Bummer.

I know of a certain phone that is supposed to be "ruggedized" but didn't take well to a dunk in a glass of water
I like my SIM card, one of the FEW advantages of AT&T.

Sounds like my old POS Motorola I355. After 3 weeks, the speakerphone started acting up, after 3 months, odd buttons started shorting out. After 6, we ditched Nextel and went to Verizon, since Nextel has little coverage in the sticks.
