I have sprint. A co-worker just spilled a huge glass of water on my phone. Do I just take it in and they give me a new one/try to fix it? ---

if its water damage…you are at fault unfortunately. you would have to pay the $50 deductible for a new one. unless you can dry the shit out of it…and replace those stickers inside the phone and on the battery. I did that once when i dropped my phone in water… and they didnt see water damage and replaced it for free. ---

DONT TELL THEM YOU GOT IT WET. TELL THEM YOU LOST IT. Then toss the old phone when you get the replacement. edit: saying it was stolen can sometimes require a police report. ---

different insurances can cover different things, and coverage can change. Not to sound like a commercial, but call your carrier for specifics on what it currently covers. ---
