Can sprint replace my iphone 5s for free?
I accidentally dropped it in my cup of milk. Water went through the speakers, headphone jack, and charger port. It was only in there for a split of a second until i took it out and immediately dropped it into a sack of uncooked rice.
This isn't the first time i've dropped it into a liquid.
Now my speakers arent working but it does work when i plug in my headphones.
Will sprint replace my iphone 5s if i have warranty?
If not how much will i have to pay to replace it?
I've had my phone for under a year btw.
Warranties don't cover liquid damage and in fact typically void your warranty for everything now. I believe a 5S replacement cost is over $600 (maybe $700)
for your best chance to save your device (and money)…
1. Do not turn it on or try to charge
2. If possible, remove the battery
3. Contact http://www.tekdry.com/ - they have a patented process that will remove all of the water for sure - typically in about 30 minutes, without taking it apart.
With rice or desiccant, it takes much longer (days) and you don't know if/when your device is dry. Each time you try to power it on to find out if it is dry, you do more damage to your device. Plus while your device sits in rice for days it continues to corrode and you get rice particles inside creating more issues.
Rice (or silica gels/desiccants) does absorb water, but only when in direct contact. Rice outside of your device will not draw water from within it. If the humidity is extremely high it is possible rice will draw some water from the air, however the humidity around your wet phone is not going to get that high. So while popular to try, rice does not actually do anything to dry your device. You might think it did if your device turns on but there's likely still water inside that can continue to cause damage.

- Why would Sprint text me a link for a free iPhone 5s that is not entirely free? 1. I received a text message from Sprint stating that I qualify for a free iPhone 5s. 2. I called Sprint's 1-800 number and confirmed with them on three separate occasions the phone was free and there would be no change to my bill. 3. They sent me the phone and upon activation tell me that my bill will go up $15 plus tax. Obviously, I returned the phone. The charge would make my bill go up $15 per month plus tax.
