I dropped my samsung intensity cell phone in a glass of iced tea now when I turn it on it stays on the verizon wireless screen and won't do anything else

You will need to replace that phone.

I suggest that you take it to the nearest Verizon store and ask them for technical assistance. It sounds as if there might be a mechanical problem with the phone.

Verizon's version of the SCH-U460 doesn't have a SIM. It's CDMA.

In the U.S., CDMA carriers use network-based white lists to verify their subscribers whereas GSM carriers like AT&T put customer information on a removable SIM card.

Sorry, no SIM card in this phone as it's a CDMA phone for Verizon's CDMA network.

take an eraser and rub the battery contacts the battery fits very loose in that phone

If you have no insurance on your phone Verizon will not fix the problem of a broken screen.
Here are a few alternative solutions.

You can get the manual here:

There's a video user guide, or you can download the PDF manual.

Pull the battery for about 60 seconds to reset the phone.

More often then not its the battery even tho the battery is fully charged as it may seem. The rel test is get a new battery not your friends battery tho but a new one put it in there and let it charge. If that doe not work then the phone's logic board has been effected and it may or might not be worth reviving. But check the battery first.
