Not sure what is achieved by putting a iPhone in a bag of rice and letting it dry slowly....it will give more time for the water to damage circuit board....the best way to minimise damage is to instantly get a hair dryer on it..and try to open up the device as much as possible to help the drying process....Any worthwhile tech will tell you the rice thing is bull...
Try putting your iPhone next to a "boil in the bag" rice for a bit....the phone may work but any problems you get, can be due to the water damage..eg not charging, volume buttons not working,drop calls etc etc

We had this discussion on here before and yes the rice has been known to work but it can often be only a short term measure as there will still be water corroding somewhere inside. I think it was canker caniston who spoke of this in more details and gave a tutorial on how to clean it internally properly. It could be worth a pm to canker skegs.Comment

you need to get some pure alcohol rub and give it a good clean out,sound advice from canker cannison a while back,,give it a good scrub and then dry it out with a hairdryer re assemble and then hope for the best,,i did the same with the mrs 3gs,worked a treat,but after a while bits and pieces stopped working etc,so its a quick fix really,i wouldnt hold out on it sorting it completely
