RICE might be good for physical therapy, but not for your phone!


Can You Use Rice to Fix a Wet Phone? Tulsa’s Experts Explain


You’ve dropped your phone in water—panicked, you pull it out and toss it into a bowl of rice. But does that really work?

At Mr. Phone US in Tulsa (71st & Mingo), we see water-damaged phones every week, and we can confidently say this:

Rice is not your phone’s savior.

❌ The Rice Myth

The rice trick has been around forever, but here’s the truth:

  • It doesn’t dry out the internal components

  • It doesn’t stop corrosion

  • And in some cases, it can actually make things worse (think rice dust inside your phone!)


✅ What You Should Do Instead

If your phone gets wet:

  1. Power it off immediately (don’t try to test it!)

  2. Do not plug it in

  3. Bring it to a professional repair shop ASAP

At Mr. Phone US, we do full internal cleanups, drying, and damage checks—often same day. In many cases, we can save your data and get your phone back to life without needing to replace it.


🧪 What We Do

  • Full internal drying using professional tools (not rice!)

  • Check motherboard, battery, and screen for damage

  • Replace only the parts that need replacing

  • Back everything with our 90-day repair warranty
