iPhone in Jacuzzi!!

Can anyone tell me how to get my phone working again it briefly fell in the jacuzzi.

It wont turn on or connect to itunes and was wondering if apple could replace it if i told em it wasnt water damage?

I've heard people say that putting your iPhone in a bag of dry rice will help absorb any water; just leave it alone for a few days without turning it on. At the bottom of your headphone jack is the water indicator. It is normally white without water damage. Supposedly a bit of bleach on a Q-tip helps with that. Good luck, I hope you're able to get your phone working again!

one of my friends dropped hers in the sink. she took a really fine paint brush and white out and apple gave her a new one

Well I dropped it in about 8 hours ago and just put it in a bag of rice.

What does the indicator look like if its water damageD?

the indicator turns red. sometimes its hard to see that its red and you need to hold it at the right angle in the light to see it. i could also look slightly pink. if its not white apple will be able to tell it got wet.
