When did that happen, Gera? -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Gerardo Corripio Sent: Saturday, May 2, 2020 5:09 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Re: just had a very scary iPhone experience
And my 3GS was rained on. I left the bedroom windows open, left the phone to charge through the night as always, and at around 3:AM a thunderstorm came on! Next thing I knew when my Mom woke me up at 6AM, no phone! I’ll never forget the smell coming from inside the phone! I’ll never forgive myself for that phone’s death!

My iPhone 5 took a swim in the toilet and it died a sudden death! LOL!

My phone is working fine. I have made several calls since the incident happened, and have also used a bluetooth speaker and headset. Glad to know my iPhone is tougher then I first thought.
