1. Funa SIM oba eSIM ekyusibwa. Carrier yo esobola okutambuza ennamba yo ku kyuma ekipya.
2. Use a temporary phone. A basic handset or an old phone can bridge the gap.
3. Change passwords from a trusted computer. Do this if you think the phone was left somewhere that others could get it.
4. Check your bank. If your banking app was on the phone, make sure no one else can use it. Contact the bank if you are unsure.
5. Restore from backup. Do this on the new phone, then turn on Find My or Find Hub and automatic backups.
6. Update your emergency details. If your number changed, update your family and your emergency card.

Prevention: keep phones away from water¶

• Use a waterproof pouch when near water. At the beach, on a boat, at a pool or in the rain, a cheap sealed pouch is worth it.
• Do not use the phone in the bath or shower. Steam, soap and dropping it are real risks.
• Keep the phone away from the edge of a sink, bath or toilet.
• Use a case with a good seal if you work outdoors.
• Check your phone's water resistance rating and its limits.
• Avoid fresh water myths. Do not rely on a "waterproof" label.
• Back up often. Turn on automatic backups so that a dunked phone does not mean lost photos.
• Keep a paper card with numbers. See okwetegekera essimu nga tonnagenda.
• Consider insurance for a costly phone.
• Keep a lanyard or wrist strap for boats and kayaks.

Embeera ez’enjawulo¶

Phone in a flood or after a storm¶

If your phone was in floodwater, treat it as contaminated. Flood water carries sewage and chemicals. Wipe the outside carefully with a safe wipe, and keep the phone off. Your safety comes before the phone. Read amataba for what to do when water enters a home.

Phone dropped into the sea or a lake from a boat¶

Retrieval may be impossible. Do not put yourself at risk to dive for it. Lock the phone remotely, contact your carrier and use the lost phone steps. If it is a shallow, safe pick up, recover it, switch it off and rinse with fresh water as soon as you can.

Child dropped the phone in the toilet¶

Switch it off, take it out with gloves, and wash your hands and the child's hands. Wipe the phone as described above. Do not use heat, and take it for a professional clean.

Wet phone and a trip or event¶

If you must travel or attend something without it, move your key contacts and tickets to paper, or use a friend's device. A basic prepaid handset can fill the gap.

Smartwatches, earbuds and tablets¶

The same rules apply. Switch them off, dry the outside, and wait. Do not charge them while wet.

Ebyokulabirako ebikoze¶

Dropped in the kitchen sink with dishwater¶

Lift it out, switch it off, and take off the case. Rinse nothing under the tap. Wipe the outside with a soft cloth, tap the port side down against your palm, then leave it on a towel in a dry room. Soap leaves residue, so take it to a repair shop if it does not work normally after a day.

Yasuuliddwa mu kidiba ekiwugirwamu ng’erina essimu eriko ekipimo¶

Essimu eyinza okuba ennungi naye chlorine mukalu okusinga amazzi ga ttaapu. Ggyako, gisiimuule, okalize omwalo ogireke okumala essaawa eziwera nga tonnagicaajinga. Laba akazindaalo n’akazindaalo okulaba ng’eddoboozi lisirise mu nnaku eziddako.

Yasuuliddwa mu nnyanja ku bbiici¶

Kizikire omulundi gumu. Okunaaba ebweru katono n’amazzi amayonjo amayonjo, weegendereze obutannyika miryango, olwo okale n’oggyayo SIM tray. Togikoleeza kukebera. Genda mu dduuka eriddaabiriza ku lunaku lwe lumu bw’oba ​​osobola, kubanga omunnyo gusigala gukola oluvannyuma lw’amazzi okukala.

Rain in your pocket during a long walk¶

A short soaking is usually less serious. Switch the phone off, wipe it dry, and wait. Keep it away from heat. If it works after a day and no warning appears, back it up and carry on, with a waterproof pouch from now on.

Phone slipped into a bath with someone in it¶

Never reach for a plugged in device in water, and never grab a charging phone from a bath. If the phone was on charge, unplug the cable at the wall first, or switch off the power at the breaker, before you touch anything wet.

Only then lift the phone out. Electric shock in water is dangerous, so see electric shock if anyone felt a tingle or was hurt.

Ensobi eza bulijjo ezirina okwewala¶

• Switching the phone on to check if it works.
• Charging it too soon.
• Using rice, heat or compressed air.
• Ignoring salt water or other liquids.
• Believing the water resistance rating guarantees safety.
• Not backing up after it recovers.
• Leaving the SIM and case on.
• Ignoring a hot or swollen battery.

Ensonda zeekebeddwa¶

• Apple Support: what to do if your iPhone gets wet, liquid detected in the charging port, and water resistance information.
• Samsung Support and Google Pixel Help: water resistance, IP ratings and advice for wet devices.
• International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC): the IP rating standard for dust and water ingress.
• Consumer agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC, United States) and the UK Government consumer guidance, on repairs and warranties.
• Fire services guidance on lithium ion battery safety, including advice on swollen or overheated batteries.

Manufacturers update their advice with each model, so check the support page for your phone.

Ebibuuzo ebitera okubuuzibwa¶

Should I put a wet phone in rice?¶
