It should come as no surprise that water and electronics don’t mix. But don’t panic—your cell phone can be saved.
To complete this How-To you will need:
A plastic container with a lid
A blow-dryer
A towel
And two silica gel packs
Step 1: Remove battery
Remove your phone’s battery. Many circuits inside the phone will survive if they are not attached to a power source when wet.
Step 2: Remove sim card
Consult the manual to remove your phone’s Sim card, which stores the phone’s data and allows it to connect to your service provider. Sim cards can survive water damage.
Step 3: Dab w/ towel
Dab the phone, battery, and Sim card with a towel, then set the last two items aside.
Step 4: Dry with blow-dryer
With your blow-dryer set on low (or the cool air blast), dry your phone, getting as much water out of the unit as possible.
Step 5: Seal with silica gel packs
Place your phone, battery, and Sim card in the plastic container with the silica gel packs. These absorb moisture and can be found in packaging, craft stores, or online. Allow the container to sit sealed for three days.
Tip: If you don’t have access to silica gel, place your phone in front of the air conditioner—the cool air can help dry out moisture.
Step 6: Test battery
If your phone does not work after three days, plug it into its charger without the battery. If this works, you will need a new battery.
Step 7: Call everyone
Call up everyone to explain why you haven’t returned calls in three days.

Get “WIFI” Anywhere You Have Cell-Phone Service! (Mac, PC)

Today I will show you a relatively simple process called tethering. It allows you to take a cell phone that has Internet access, and use it on a computer. Example: you’re driving, you get stranded, And your phone’s screen is broken so you really cant text for help ( 911 is also not available) of course this is all just a scenario I’ve made up. You could also be in school without WiFi although you have your phone and a laptop. You simply want to be able to take your phone’s Internet and use it on your laptop. That’s what I’m going to show you how to do… This process is known as “tethering”, as long as you have free cell phone Internet, your bill will not increase in cost. If your plan does not contain free Internet, your bill will spike. So be careful. I hope you all enjoy this tutorial, have a good day.
