I would look at the Ebay reviews of the seller. Usually you can follow the seller link to their store and see how legitimate they are.

I can't really comment on Iphones because I have never owned one. I get Galaxy Androids.

I believe a version 5 or 6 will run the current OS. You should look what memory they have. I retired a version 5 because it had only 8 gig. I now have a 6 with 64 gig. I gave my old one to my wife. She has service on it without data. Any WiFI connection allows it to access the internet.

My wife has a 4S. It still works great and does the same basic job of a modern phone. Screen is a bit smaller, but still completely usable. It would be fine for the use you describe. We run one OS behind the current OS. No problems and less overhead.

It'll take many years to know the cumulative health effects of being exposed to transmissions from the proliferation of wireless devices which have become necessities of modern life. But so far the convenience outweighs any known negatives.
