That's Apple's policy, not AT&Ts. ATT offers insurance on their other handsets.
A state park... maybe you should let them know so somebody can keep an eye out when they empty the toilet.
i would of gotten it...put it in a plastic bag
go to apple store
an explain..they might understand and replace it

Damn just buy a new iPhone, its not a big deal at all... And it's so incredibly easy. Go to an AppleStore or CPW, or o2 or AT&T or whichever it is in your country and order it.
Then go and buy another SIM and activate it on the old number, this may require a call to o2/AT&T. But then if you call her your wife, then she would already have her new iPhone..
OMG, over such a trivial issue over an iPhone. Just replace the damn thing..

ugh...just thinking about this makes me sick. heck no would I ever reach in for an iphone!
it did get me thinking though - is there anything I would reach in for?
an earlier poster mentioned a wedding ring. that's probably the only thing I could think of that I'd go after. fortunately my ring doesn't slide off easily and I sure as hell wouldn't ever take it off while I was in a porta-potty!
what would you be willing to reach in for?

I would have made her get in there and dig it out. She dropped it not you. Don't you think it's time she learned to clean up her own messes!? 
haha that made me laugh out loud. good call
Do you know what a porta potty is? There's no mirror inside there!
It's quite probable that the phone slipped out of her hands or fell out of her pocket. It happens.
some do have mirrors.....ive seen it
i wouldnt have as it wouldnt work. but if it did work, i would reach in and get it
Reminds me of a story my Dad used to tell. One day he saw a man digging in an outhouse[old time porta potty] with a stick, he asked the man what he was doing and the man said he dropped his jacket in. My Dad said that jacket won't be any good now. The man said he new that, but his lunch was in the pocket.
I bet you the guys that empty those things will dig it out. Just call the number on the side of the john and ask when it is going to be emptied.
Take the whole porta-potty to the nearest Apple Retail Store and look what they can do.
Maybe you'll end up in the yellow press. I'm looking forward reading the article.
....I would not retreive it. Just buy a new one.
Seriously, what about the company who cleans the potties? Can't they get it out of this mess?

Are these people who say they wouldn't get it out of there own toilets serious? I would chalk it up as a loss if it went in the porta potty, but in my own toilet it would be out in seconds.
This is why my girlfriend will never own an iPhone. She has a LG Shine now and I bought her a leather case for it and she doesn't even use it, but then asks for an iPhone. I could only shake my head and walk away.

Who said you have to stick your hand in the porta-potty to get it out? I would of just called a friend over, flipped the porta-potty over a few times... and then picked it up off the ground... problem solved. The iPhone would be retrieved and my hand would of never gone into the liquid.
This thread has been moved to Community Discussion because it is a gross story which really only tangentially has anything to do with the iPhone, and I thought it would be nicer to y'all than wastelanding it or locking it.
