I dropped my TP in the toilet (update)

hey hey, no need to worry, tep DOES cover lost/stolen and water damage.. it is 50 bucks though, but hey.. its better than being screwed lol

Tell them you lost the phone. Don't tell them it's been stolen, I have heard they could make you do the paper trail thing. Tell them you lost the phone, and everything should be fine. Good thing they are sending out new phones, looks like the turn-a-round time is getting better too.

I have to admit, I always surf and poo - these stories are making me reconsider.

phones and toilets are like super magnets to one another. and TEP does cover liquid damage. It will NOT get replaced in store however there is only a $50 deductible when claimed thru asurion under TEP

So I went to two different corporate sprint center and they turn me down they can't do anything and gave me Asurion phone number.

After that I went to a local Sprint authorized retailers they do basic repairs and sales and the guy looked at my phone and said looks like something is wrong with the lcd.

I gave him my phone number long story short since I have TEP on my account they will order me new phone free of charge just have to wait 2 weeks since the phone is back ordered!

Wow...I am shocked the Tech is a dumbass....his store will get charged back 400 if the phone recieved by asurion is liquid but........in anycase good job u tried it worked!

update: op i droped mine in a mop bucket lol dude i was on the stairs when a text came in i took it out and it droped down instead of going left or right it seemed like it aim'ed for the bucket lol. i got the replacment monday its a 57 buck lost but next time i will not make fun of you.

after a day the old phone works great but i am sending it in to tep but keeping the battery and cover as extras funny thing it stayed in the mop bucket for a while and when i took it out the back of the inside was dry.

you accidentally the whole touch pro???



srsly tho. that sucks. i've done that before when i had my mogul.

[peerless]

Just a little tip, a quick way to get water out of the phone is to open the phone take out the battery, put the phone into a plastic bag wrap the bag around a vacuum and suck the water out. I did that when I dropped my mogul in the toilet and work perfectly after I got the water out.

[rihavens]

Thats alright, when I am at home I leave the Touch Pro out of the bathroom... in favor of my laptop.

all tips i know them because i read them but i did not do em lol. as soon as it happened i took the battery out yet i replaced it back in and powered it on which is a no no but after a day it came back on but a nice wet spot in the screen by that time i knew inside the phone will act up sooner or later anyways for 50 bucks for a replacement not bad since its new with everything i see it this way 50 brought me an extra case charger battery and battery cover.
