So I put my phone in the sink in my bather because it didn't have a counter on this one and and I had to go so I put it there real fast. Then I forgot it was there and turned on the water. Now my phone turns on but nothings works and the screen is black. Stupid move I know. It sucks. I NEED a phone as soon as possible though but don't have the money to buy a nice new one yet. So, if anyone knows where I can get a CHEAP phone that works and doesn't suck completely please let me know. Thanks.

You should get on of those cheap pay as you go cellphones until you have the money. I've seen them at BestBuy.

lol, i've seen those phones. They're ancient, not to mention how big they are.

Last week you could've gotten the Nokia 3120 for free thru Cingular.
Get a prepaid phone that you can unlock easily. That's the cheapest way to go.

I'd say the best way to go is find one on ebay that is definitely compatible with your wireless provider. You can either bring it to your provider's store and have it activated or there are some websites that tell you how to activate them.
http//www.phonehackers.com[]http//www.phonehackers.com is one.
I did this when my dog ate my phone(yes, ate it) and it worked fine. Just make sure that it is compatible with your provider. A lot of the ebay auctions will tell you what provider the phone was used on so that's a good guide.

What network are you on? If it's a GSM network, then you can buy this http//www.fatwallet.com/t/18/493492/
Pretty good deal. You can probably offload the $15 prepaid card/kit on ebay for some extra money back.

Take it back to the place you got it and say it just doesn't work anymore...if your still in the warrenty, and if you kinda demand they give you a knew they can sell you the same model for like $50
