    Make sure the phone was never reported stolen and make sure it is from your same service provider. If you're sim card wasn't affected by the water you should be able to just slip it in and begin using it. If the sim card is damaged you'll have to get another sim card from your provider.

    You should be carefull about the camera, touch, speaker, side keys and buttons...

    Why buying 2nd hand phone.. What is your budget?

    You could get a better and good smartphone...

    You have a less budget... Guess you can go with the IPHONE 3G...

    Do check the phone clearly and buy it...
