Carrier ATT Next and Water Damaged Phone

[andyw715]

I dropped my phone into a clean toilet.

It was in an apple leather case which I think may have helped out.

I immediately fished it out, turned it off, took it out of the case, and tried to dry it off as well as I could.

I then did the rice thing (not really sure if this is useful).


Well anyway....i turned it on and all appears well. Home button/touch id, sleep button, vol buttons, mute button, touch screen, all seem to work.

My question is, come time to turn it in to ATT (after 18 months), what do I need to do with it. How do they check for water damage etc?

I briefly looked online but hadn't see anything on what to do with damaged phones.

I would not say a thing. It is your phone

Im pretty certain they wont take it if there is indication on that strip it had any sort of moisture.
I tried selling them a phone that worked %100 and they checked the strip was just ever so slightly turning pink and told me to pound sand.
