A Turkish person wouldn't have a 'valid entry visa' on their passport would they ?
No, but like a foreigner, they would have a valid entry stamp - although I think you knew that...

My granddaughter dropped her phone in the swimming pool,came in and covered it with rice all night,
And it was fine next day, just a little tip to try,must take all the condensation out of it.

Basmati or Long Grain ?  ;)

B&*%$r.  :(
But thanks for the replies.

I've seen conflicting stories on other forums/FB groups etc about whether we can register phones or not, with some told they can't and others having no problem.

I also looked on the UK Government website which says you have to register within 28 days and also need to show proof of residence....which I can only imagine would be granted within that timescale in some kind of parallel universe.  : :)

Davybill - tried the rice thing straight away but no joy. It's definitely bust.  :(

I heard that a drowned mobile should be ok if you don't switch it off, just allow it to dry on its own without fiddling with any buttons. Not tried it though!   ;)

Or you could try covering it with Silica Gel crystals for a few days.

Open battery compartment, take out battery, first step- dry battery, pay particular attention to terminals, second step- dry inside of battery compartment, again pay particular attention to terminals, third step- take out sim card gently pat dry, then wrap telephone loosely in kitchen towel/toilet paper leave someplace warm and dry for at least several days/a week if possible, reassemble and try your luck (keep your fingers crossed)

It's very definitely dead and replacement has already been bought.... I'm claiming it through contents insurance so at least I'll get the cost reimbursed.

Was hoping that I'd avoid the registration costs as the new phone is unlocked and can be used on any network, but it seems not.  :(
