A Wireless and TCC encourage guests to call their local store to ensure it is open as some locations have been affected by flooding.

The Verizon retailers are offering free dry attempts to victims affected by Hurricane Irma flooding in over 20 locations across the state of Florida. A Wireless is also offering free phone drying to Hurricane Harvey victims in more than 20 Houston-area and Louisiana stores.

To help obtain a successful recovery, customers are encouraged not to plug the device in, turn it off immediately and remove the battery, if possible. For devices in which users cannot remove the battery, the battery’s state of charge may play a factor in the phone’s ability to be revived. The drying process typically takes less than one hour.
