Electronics - blessing or curse

I dropped my phone in a bucket of water yesterday, it fell out of my blouse pocket when I bent over, not in the water more that 3 seconds, so it shuts off and comes on without prompting, other than that it seems to works so during the night it sang its song a few times. The panic at having no phone was surprising to me. How would I call anyone, or get calls, and my alarm clock is gone.
