Does anyone know much about getting a replacement phone after I've damaged it?
I managed to drop it in a rockpool on the first night of my holiday after a couple of beers :drunk: it only half submerged and I pulled it out turned it off and let it dry before turning it back on. It still sort of works but every now and then looses signal or constantly gives and 'error in connection' message when trying to call people and bluetooth to my PC won't work. I'm not sure if it's the SIM card or the phone that's screwed (or both) but have since realised that it was salt water I dropped it in and it's propbably rotting away the insides of the phone so I expect it to get progressively worse.
I was just going to call Orange and say it's stopped working and must be a faulty phone but my mate used to work at a call centre and said there's a strip of paper in phones that shrivels up when it gets wet so they no if the phone has been in water. Is this true for Nokia 6233's and will it void my insurance if it is?
Cheers.
