I have dropped my mobile in the bath
Would i have got any insurance with it when i brought ot from Vodaphone less a year ago ?
my average bill is £200 ish
or will i have to buy a new one at a high price without a contract or search for one on EBAY ?

Sure my mate that fixes phones said that you should not try and switch them on when you get water damage. Make sure its fully dry first and all being well it will work!

Try taking the phone apart and putting it in the airing cupboard for a day or so.
I am with orange at the moment and broke my phone about a year ago, I had no insurance at the time but they replaced it for a cost of either £50 one of, Or £30 and I have to pay £5 a month for insurance from then on. Luckily I took the second optiona as I broke it again a month later :-s

hah u bad mong

TBMeech

Paul you spanner, thats funny lol

You won't have insurance, unless you took the option out when you signed the contract / or you have taken the insurance option out after.....

Probably looks like you'll have to get another one from Ebay to me if it doesnt work after you've dried it out....

Howee

If you're on contract, you've been a customer for a few years and your bills average that much just give em a call and they'll probably replace it (phone your service provider direct, not through a shop). They'll probably say you'll have to insure your new handset from now on tho....

Alternatively let your existing phone dry out thoroughly and you've got a 50/50 chance it will work. Don't take it apart any more than removing the covers and battery otherwise you risk damaging the ICs with static.

If your bills are £200 youre on the wrong contract anyway. If youve had that one 12 months, cancel it and ask Vodafone to do a bill analysis and put you on a better contract (with a new phone).

Wait up, I jumped in the pool with my trusty 3410 in my pocket, two days later it started working and has been ever since, and its seen off a NEC 808 crappy 3g thing.
