On June 22nd, when Google announced that it had opened up Google Voice to everyone, I decided to sign up for an account. I opted to simply use the voicemail feature for now as I typically see my emails before I see voicemails (strange, I know). I had no idea what an amazing product it would turn out to be.
This morning, Bean threw laundry in the wash not realizing my iPhone was in the pocket of my jeans. She called my phone from her phone trying to locate it. After realizing the error, she quickly ran to check the washing machine and the screen of my very wet iPhone was flashing off and on. Not good by all accounts.
We threw the phone and a bunch of rice in a ziplock bag in hopes that it would dry out. After holding the bag of phone/rice in the car on the way to work, I noticed that the rice was starting to jam up the headphone jack and the USB connection so I shock the rice out and just held it. Oh, how softly I held it. I got to work and removed the SIM card as it was soaked.
I flipped on my computer and opened my email. I noticed a had an email from Google Voice saying I had a voicemail. I clicked over to listen to it. In frantically trying to locate my phone, Bean forgot to end her call so the final minutes of my iPhone were recorded and then emailed to me. The last words my phone heard was Bean saying, "You might want to let it dry out for awhile."
With Google Voice, you can also save voicemails as mp3s. As such, here's the Death of my iPhone (mp3).
