My new tracfone LG220 went through the washing machine today because I was tenderizing some steak without an apron.
I hammered a piece of steak and it squirted off the cutting board and hit me in the crotch at high velocity. I took the pants off, sprayed the crotch area with Shout, left them on the washing machine, and then continued cooking.
DW came home, I told her the story, and she put the pants in the washing machine. The phone was on at the time. She checked pockets, but the cell phone is small...
Anyway, it's now thoroughly laundered. I've seen plenty of reports of phones surviving this, following days of drying out. Mine (with battery removed) is on the output vent of the dehumidifier now, and I'll wait a few days before I try it.
If you've had a phone go through the wash, and didn't immediately toss it, please vote in the poll.
