1. Take it out of the water! This might sound obvious but it's important that you get your phone away from the source of moisture a soon as possible to minimize damage.
2. Once you're phone is out from harm's way, the first thing you should do is take out you're SIM card or any removable components. If you're phone has a removable battery, take this out too - this will prevent the phone from short circuiting.
3. Dry the phone and all parts with a clean dry cloth or towel. Try to avoid paper towels as bits of paper can get struck in the phone and prevent it from working. DO NOT use a hairdryer, as this may push water further into the phone.
4. Leave the phone overnight somewhere warm and dry (next to a radiator is good, or you can put it on a bag of rice or wrap it on a towel to help absorb some of the excess moisture).
5. Once you've done all these things and you're phone is dry, put you're phone back together and test it. If it turns on then you're good to go! Remember, if you get you're phone working again, make sure to back-up any data that you want to keep.
