I dropped my iPhone 6 in a lake. I retrieved it before it could sustain major damage, but the screen has glitchy shadows and the home button doesn't work. The phone is basically useless. I don't have enough money to buy an unlocked phone, but I don't want to buy a phone with another contract. I don't need two contracts at once. There is no warranty for my phone. What should I do?!?!

By the way, if I get another phone, I want it to be another iPhone 6.
 
IF you want another iPhone 6 and don't want to buy a new one and don't want to get a new contact, then how do you plan to do that?

Your phone is probably toast. Best thing to do, if you had a time machine, would have been to take the phone and put it in a bag of rice right away for a couple of days. As soon as you grab it and start trying to use it, power goes through the wet circuits and it's probably dead. iPhones are so "All-in-one built pieces of crap, that when 1 piece goes, it's hard to just replace that piece.

Lesson learned as you enjoy your motorola flip phone because that's all you can afford.
