- This may be a silly question but anyway ...
-
- A couple of years ago I had a phone installed in my bathroom. For
- some reason I kept on getting calls when in the bathroom rather than
- leave the machine on I wanted to pick them up. The phone I put in was
- a ATT trimline type phone but made in the East somewhere.
-
- Well two years of steam from showers etc. and I think the phone has
- suffered. Callers tell me the sound is muffled now (I don't think it
- has a carbon mic) and leaving it out to dry for a couple of days has
- not fixed the problem.
-
- Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem. What kind of
- phone should I be looking at? Should I enclose it in some steamproof
- covering?
-
- Thanks,
-
