Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 go to the shop and ask for a repair. someone asked me to do that for them once, but her phone was so cunted that it was gonna cost way too much to repair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 you can get it repaired, just take it to a phone shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest onlynik Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 You should have tried to dry it out, on the top of a radiator or such like. If you pay for insurance then orange will replace the phone within 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allstardawn Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 i broke my phone. o2 refused to repair it for me because i hadn't kept the receipt. as long's you've kept the receipt you'll be okay. but otherwise, it costs shitloads to get it fixed and you may as well buy a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_beastly_one Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 My Phillips 355 refused to work. I took it back to The Link, they sent it away and supposedly had it repaired. I got it back and a week later, it did it again, then they decided to claim water damage on it, although I know it hadn't been wet, and said the repair didn't come under guarantee any more and I'd have to pay a fortune to get it fixed. That phone ended up in the bin. I now use my old trusted Nokia 3410, and that's lasted for 3 years, without a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penmaster Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 well basically you shouldnt have got that phone in the first place, then let someone piss on it, then complain about ityou should get a sony e. they are the best - let people throw up, piss, rain, etc etc and its still fine.
