Actually
one small problem is that phone manufacturers have caught on, and in many phones there is a small "have I got wet" indicator that turns red if the phone has been in contact with any liquid in its innards.

I have been caught this way myself...

This is true.
If you do get you phone wet the best thing to do is to take it apart as much as you can and put it somewhere to dry for about a week.

Don't put it anywhere too warm, not in the airing cupboard or on a radiator. Does sometimes work.
