Answer 1

um you might be able to take it to the place where you got it and they might be able to give you all of your phone numbers by pulling it up on the computer at the place

Answer 2

To answer your question, ' Yes  sometimes '.

Try this; Carefully remove all power supplies from unit.

next, Carefully Map & Remove all retainer screws,

next, carefully pry apart the case, [ note, if wires are connected to both halves DO NOT disconnect ]

next , Place hair dryer, set to lowest setting, near the now opened phone & lit it Blow dry for sever hours,

Carefully reassemble, apply power & it just might start working again.

Answer 3

Take out the battery of your phone and put your cellphone and battery on a cloth untill it's completely dried out (a day or two). Then put it together and start it up. If it won't start then it's probably toast :(

Answer 4

if the battery is not completely damaged, you can retrieve your phone numbers. take your phone to the place of purchase or any store of your phone's plan, and they will retrieve that info from your battery.

Answer 5

Take it to a store and see what they can do. Maybe and depends on how damaged it is.

Answer 6

no no, call your phone company and ask them for a list of all the numbers you called, and than they will send you the list, but you than have to call every number you dont recognize and ask who they are:)

Answer 7

Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way to get the numbers back if the phone is dead and it doesn't have a SIM card. Once you get a new phone, you could try starting a group on Facebook (if you have an account) and asking all your friends to write their number on the wall of the group. I've seen tons of my friends do it, and usually people don't mind taking 5 seconds of their time to give you their number again. Best of luck!

Answer 8

depends if they were saved to your memory card if so put it into another phone and hey presto ( i know sad saying :P)

Answer 9

after having this happen to me several times.. i work on the water. i now use the back up assistant with my cell company. i use verizon. it is free for on line users. and when i got a new phone as soon as i hit the back up asst. it reloaded the numbers.. other than that all the other answers have the right idea .first thing you do is take it apart and hope it drys out. good luck and have a great day.

Answer 10

remove the battery, leave the cover off the device. Let the thing dry out for 24 hours  in front of a fan. then try it.
