Apple iPhone 5c 8 GB White Verizon 4G LTE, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory refurbished, this Apple iPhone 5c 8GB in white is the Verizon 4G LTE model with its GSM radio unlocked. The 8 GB white unit is the lowest-cost route to a working iOS device, which suits exporters serving live-UMTS markets and buyers who need Wi-Fi iPhones for kiosks, kids, or app testing.
The iPhone 5c is Apple's 2013 polycarbonate-bodied iPhone, built on the iPhone 5 platform: an A6 chip, a 4-inch Retina display at 326 ppi, an 8 MP iSight camera with panorama and 1080p video, LTE, and iOS 7 at launch with updates through iOS 10. The 8 GB tier here was a later, lower-cost addition sold mainly through carriers. This is the Verizon version, which Apple shipped with an unlocked GSM radio alongside its CDMA and LTE bands.
TG Wireless sells it factory refurbished to exporters, collectors of the colored iPhone line, and buyers who want a Wi-Fi iOS device at minimal cost.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
The iPhone 5c has 4G LTE, but it lacks VoLTE, so it cannot carry voice calls on today's US networks: Verizon retired CDMA voice on December 31, 2022, and the GSM carriers retired 3G the same year. US carriers no longer activate it. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. The Verizon version ships GSM unlocked, which makes it an export phone for markets where UMTS voice is still live alongside LTE data, and a Wi-Fi device otherwise.
Resale fit
- Exporters serving markets where 3G UMTS voice remains live alongside LTE data.
- Collectors and retro-Apple sellers who want the colored polycarbonate iPhone.
- Wi-Fi-only use as a media player, kids' device, or app-testing unit.
- Prop houses and parts buyers.
