I HATE my luck.

At work today I forgot my cell phone was in my pocket and went to the restroom only to have it fall out into the toilet. It stopped working of course. Now I lost all my numbers except the ones I know from memory. My phone was about 10 years old, so it was technically time for a new one. I did get a new one, I'm just upset that I lost people I went to college with's phone numbers.

Phone guy suggested I try drying the old phone out in rice overnight and see if I can get it to turn on to get my numbers off to put into my new phone. I'm hoping for the best.

Anyone have any success drying out a phone in rice and having it work afterwards (or at least turn on to retrieve numbers)?
