Cell phones have become our right hand man over the past several decades. 82% of Americans own one. We bring them with us everywhere and have hundreds of contacts, pictures, emails and other priceless data stored on them. So when your cell phone slips out of your pocket or hand and lands in the toilet, the sink, a pool, a lake or a pond, you may understandably panic. Instead of panicking, remember these helpful tips to save your phone.

  • Take the battery out of your phone immediately. This will stop the power running through the switchboard.
  • Do not shake your phone or push any buttons. While you may think that this is helpful to get the water out, really you are just helping the water get into areas it hasn’t hit yet.
  • Next, put your cell phone in a container of uncooked rice for 24 hours. This will pull the moisture out of your phone, and with a little luck your phone will be saved or will at least turn on long enough for you to retrieve your data.

If you are not able to rescue your phone, there is a great way to upgrade or replace your current cell phone without having to renew your contract with your service provider.
Every time you purchase or receive a new cell phone from your service provider, you are required to renew your contract for at least 2 more years. Many times, your rates go up or you are pressured into purchasing add-ons you do not need.
By choosing a Certified Used Cell Phone form Zendoo.com, you are able to get a new phone, not a new contract. Through our exclusive dealings with electronics recyclers and cell phone refurbishes, we are able to bring you the most incredible deals on the largest selection of certified used cell phones.
