Put in a bag of rice and shove it in the airing cupboard - works just as well.

heat because its your first post :innocent:

Not convinced this will save your phone in the long run as unless you dropped your phone in distilled water there will be salts etc. left behind which in the long term will corrode the electronics.
As for the "rice is cheaper" argument, 8oz of rice is usually around 50p so you're saving 50p on something your'e unlikely to need anyway. Also unless you're mad you won't find you've eaten this kit leaving none when you most need it. Probably worth keeping one in the car for emergencies.

The rice thing is a bit of a myth. Rice doesn't 'draw' moisture out. You'd be just as well putting the phone in a warm area, unsealed. That's not to say that it won't still work if you use rice, just that the rice is a bit unnecessary.

waste of money....if you drop smartphone or tablet in water ...turnof straigt awey and put it 8n a bowl of dry rice cover full phone/tablet leave for 3 or 4 days and should work fine

If a phone gets wet can you not just ring it out?

Worth a try for the price , heat added

uncooked rice bag please ... it worked for my moto G

an alternate to this is to burry your water damaged phone in a rice bag or container fir 48 hrs.

It'll be a bag of rice inside

Normally silica gel in this..

Good deal, I'm sure these kits would be dearer elsewhere. :smiley:

nothing brought my phone back to life was gutted x

Cold cheaper to use rice.

Heat from me, welcome
Great first post

Cold coz rice in a plastic bag is cheaper :stuck_out_tongue:.

Just kidding. Have some heat. If nothing else I learnt something today

( Whispers) i voted hot anyway...its a good deal :-)

I haven't seen this version, but bought one online a while ago.
it was like a sealed food bag with some of those damp/dehumidifying sachets in like you get with shoes and electronics.

worked well the one I had, brought my tablet back to 100%, had an annoying water bubble in the screen layers, after a shower reading outside, fine now. that version worked great.

I'd assume* that this would be similar for phone dropped in water etc.
(* accepts no responsibility if I'm wrong)

Ok I've just opened it up, it's a sealable pouch with moisture absorbing granules. Instructions state. to use ASAP, seal affected item and leave for a minimum of 24 - 48 hours for a phone/ tablet respectively.

Will add more info on a min as I'm a bit stuck right now .....

Felt like rice to me

heat because its your first post :innocent:

all I can see on the packet is it is for wet phones
