What can I do if I microwave my iPhone?

I made the idiotic decision of microwaving my iPhone 5 - only for four seconds, but nonetheless it has caused my phone to lose its wifi and phone service... it only shows "No Service" in the top left corner and I don't know what to do. I feel like a complete idiot for believing these stupid Internet rumors and my phone is literally my only working device. I don't know if I could afford a replacement or how to fix this. Please, can anybody at all help me?

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

Well, I guess someone has learned an important lesson about leaving expensive electronics where toddlers can get a hold of them.

Was there a point in responding to a 4 year old post?

To be fair, I think our young friend got caught by a necropost. The post before theirs is from yesterday.

Ah, good point. He's been making a lot of similar posts on old threads, so he probably needs to pay a little more attention to the date range of the thread.

No, I am actually telling that this would happen to both the toddler and the 4 year old iPhone.
