Also a 'true story: names, dates, location. And also: it still worked, at the first try... Even earlier, in the 16th century, something similar happened to a Dutch saleswomen from the town of Stavoren, who herself threw a gold ring into the sea. Lo and behold: months later there was a fish on her plate, and her ring was inside it. A very, very old meme, maybe? PS. Just last month there was a post about an elderly Australian surfer, who lost his dentures 100 meters off-shore. The next day he found them on the beach, and 'they were sharper than before'...

I let it dry out and it no longer worked. The SIM card went into my new phone and it(the card)still works to this day. So yeah even if the phone is toast the Card might still work. That's kinda scary if you think about it. I put my old cell through the wash machine. I let it dry out and it no longer worked.
