Hi

After a little swimming in the pool :( and drying it under the sun all day everything works except sim cards. Can someone who had the same problem advise me on what can I do to try to fix it please? Thanks

1. Try a different SIM
2. Let the phone dry longer. Common wisdom is to stick it in a sealed container with dry (uncooked) rice and leave it for a couple of days, with the battery removed.

I just ordered a SIM/SD Card Reader replacement for the S3 on Amazon for 5 pounds. It?s pretty easy to replace it, I hope it works
