Default Blackberry 8350i has no signal. please help!

Hi,

I dropped my phone into a toilet and now i cannot complete a call without it dropping. I have no bars almost all the time(1 bar if I'm lucky). It takes me an hour for my text to send and i have no internet. Any ideas?

Your phone has suffered water damage. That's not covered by warranty, but it is covered by insurance. Replacing the phone at this point is your only solution.

water damage messes up a phone big time and shows a red color dot on the base in the corner under battery, as well as on the battery nexet to the connector's. I hate that color myself, so I take a Q tip, bleach , and dot the patches til the white color returns. IT REALLY WORKS! Now my phone looks almost perfect again.

okay, since the connection usually drops after the first call is made. Can I buy a antennae booster?
