Drowned Phone Replacement
Hi Everyone. My wife dropped her phone in the toilet at work the other night (no, I couldn't believe it either). I managed to dry it out and it worked for a couple of days but it has died now. Her contract is up in about three months so I just want to get her a reasonable, cheap (and I mean cheap) 3G phone until it's time to renew her contract. I don't have a great interest in mobiles so any advice (where to buy also) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance...

I've got an unlocked LG 8110 from when i was with 3. I was going to recycle it but it's yours if you want to pay for the postage.

Hi smdnetau. That would be great. My postcode is 5162. Let me know how much you want for postage and how you would like to be paid. Thanks again.

OMG, why on earth do these things still happen? Repeat after me:

1. Fence the loo
2. Shut the gate
3. Teach your phones to swim - it's great
4. Supervise - watch your mate and
5. Learn how to resuscitate

Cheers
Steffen.
