i have a Samsung Katalyst from T-Mobile. i've had the phone for less than a month and tonight it accidently fell in the toilet =/. i took it apart and wiped it with a napkin and then just let it dry out, and everything still works fine except for the 1, 2, 4, & 7 keys. is there any way to get it fixed so i dont have to buy a new one b/c i really can't afford a new one right now. i dont have insurance on it, and i doubt t-mobile will just let me trade it bc they're an ass of a company. i'm desperate. help?

If it doesn't, you put the phone in uncooked rice, which absorbs all the water. really! it works.
If the numbers still don't work.... I've had this problem and I called t-mobile, threatened to switch companies or go to verizon/at&t and they sent me a new phone.

If all else fails then yu can buy a cheap phone until you save up for a new one, and even put the sim card in it so that you have the same number.
I have a similar problem with my phone; it just won't work!
I have decided to wait and save up for a new LG phone on Orange, but only have £20 at the moment. £80 left to go so i'm using my old (from like 2006) phone for now.
