Eben, I think your problem lies in the fact that most if not all cell phones are not waterproof. Keep your phone dry and you shouldn't have this issue.

If you store your numbers on the SIM card rather than in the phone, you might be able to recover them...

Remove the battery from the phone as a precautionary measure in the event the phone gets wet so that the electrical components including the SIM card do not short circuit and get damaged because of the voltage stored in the battery. Rinse with appropiate cleaner afterwards and let phone dry completely before inserting battery back into the phone.
It may be easier to water proof the battery as oppose to the phone because of its small size.

Arrow trout or phone

i caught a fat brown trout one day...and reeled him in to the shore...where he instantly came off the hook but stayed there easy to grab....at the very same moment my cell phone not in its leather case and being slippery fell out of my shirt pocket into the water "ploop" ...so there i was....contemplating rather quickly...which should i grab FIRST? the trout....or the damn phone now underwater....so i grabbed the trout of course...first....and dropped him in a bucket...then i grabbed the phone and tied a knot in a sweatshirt cuff
dropped it in there and swung it round and round as hard as i could to utilize centrifical force....afterwards i placed it on my dashboard in the sun...and next to the heater when i got home....next day it worked fine.

wet phone

What Capesam said, bag it. I had given that some thought myself, but I usually leave the phone in the bag behind me on the beach if I carry it at all. I like bigfishes idea. Leave it in the jeep, but Eben got a little one so contact at home is important. By the way bigfish, no signal most of the time huh, your giving up clues to where you fish. Burning your own spots a little.
