sim card is stuck inside iPhone without tray

Question

sim card is stuck inside iPhone without tray

So, last night I dropped my iPhone 3G in the toilet. I immediately took out the sim card and to let it dry out for a few days, but in an attempt to be helpful, someone put the simcard back into my phone without the tray.

Now my simcard is inside my phone, but I can't get it out. Putting a pin in the release doesn't do anything, since the tray is not in my phone. I can't fit tweezers in there to grab the sim card either, because the slot is so tiny

HELP!! I need to get the sim card out

iPhone 3G, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

If you live near an Apple store, I suggest making an appointment at the store for help getting the SIM card out.

You can try an AT&T corporate store, but an Apple store would be my first choice if there was one nearby.

oops I meant I took it out to let it dry for a few days. long story short my phone did dry out and it turns on and works fine, just the sim card was jammed inside.

i managed to get it out without having to go to the apple store! thanks for the help. i put a paperclip in the normal hole as you would do to get the tray out, and the sim card popped up high enough for me to grab it with tweezers. all is well : )
