As well as corrosion, if the salt gets into the phone and hits the moisture, there's more danger of a short circuit.

If the phone's useless, I'd be tempted to buy some distilled water and dunk it in that and skoosh it around (technical term) while wearing marigolds or similar to avoid contaminating the distilled water. Don't have the battery or SIM in while you're doing it. Dry the surface & put it in a food bag in the airing cupboard with some silica or rice.

Considering all the effort, though, you might be better off just putting the SIM in an unlocked eBay replacement? Is it a really expensive 'phone?
