Can you cell phone swim?

Mine can't. I found out when I accidentally dropped it in the toilet! I leaned over to flush and it fell out of the holder! It was awful. My son dried his one time in the dryer and then it slid into his Dr. Pepper when he put the breaks on too quick to catch it in his truck one time! It still worked but it had some really quirky things it did after that! What's your crazy cell phone story??

My crazy cell phone story is this one: I bought a cell phone from Virgin Mobile. It was in black and white, It had a ton of ring tones, both free and the ones that I have bought and had personally added to each of of my closest contacts but it fell down and from the there on it will fall apart (like 3 pieces). Well I lost that cell phone at Walmart, and My belief now is that I somehow dropped and being in pieces no one wanted to give to the manager. Sad but truth.

No, I lost every ring tone, free and the ones that I paid for. It was a 50 dollars prepaid cell phones and they still do not offer insurance. I found it sad because I lost my contacts, my ring tones and now days Virgin Mobile one offers a handful of ringtones compared to the many I used to have (that is for free).

Oh man! That's tough cause then you gotta buy it agian and restart with all the ring tones and all! ugh!!! Did you happen to have any kind of insurance on it? i know that some companies offer it and sometimes it's a good deal and sometimes they don't....

Hello, I haven't tried to drown my cell phone. I did once accidently wash my b/f's pants and he left his cell phone in the pocket. I didn't notice it until it was in the dryer and I couldn't figure out what was making a loud knocking sound. When I discovered it I felt so bad that I washed his cell phone. I got lucky it was not damaged and he still uses it.

Very often children play with my cell phones, but nothing has happened to it. Touch wood. I am lucky.

Once, I left my iPhone next to the toilet, and while reaching for something, my elbow knocked it into the toilet. It took me a while to notice, when I took it out and dried it, it wouldn't turn on. Unfortunately, I had to buy another one and promised to myself to be more careful with my phone next time.
