Point taken, but I don't know where you could buy 3-4 kg of dry dessicant. :-)  Rice is locally available, cheaper, and biodegradable.

However, upon reflection, here in the US they do sell stuff you can put in your basement that will absorb moisture, and keep mold growth down.  It usually comes in a 2-3 lb tub, you take the lid off, and every other day or so, you drain off the water on top of the stuff.   Maybe that would work as well.

I have done the wet-cellphone-rice thing a couple of times, and it does dry up the phone pretty well. You have to be patient, and let it do its thing. I'd say give the rice thing a try.  At worst, you're out one ziploc-type freezer bag, and maybe $1-2 in rice...which you could cook later, if you didn't mind it tasting like cellphone.
