Is it a good technique using rice to dry out cell phone?

This seems to be the funniest trick I have ever heard from anyone. I think this can be called as a joke of the day. Putting your phone in the rice container will not only sever the chances of getting your phone to the previous conditions. I think you must check your facts regarding it. I would advice that when you face such kind problems, you should first open almost all the parts of your mobile and should try to dry them up by placing in sunlight. You should also clean up your battery properly and keyboard of your phone. Also make sure that you phone SIM card is ejected from the phone. After drying up your mobile like it, you can take your mobile to some mobile technical operator near you and get it checked properly. Thanks
