Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The Live G500TG is a 3G phone with UMTS on 850 and 2100 MHz and no LTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so this phone gets no voice or data service on any US network today. It remains usable in export markets with live UMTS 850 or 2100 service and as a Wi-Fi-only Android device. The listing does not state a lock state; see the network status line in the table and confirm with your account manager.
Resale fit
- Exporters serving Latin American and other markets with live UMTS 850/2100 service.
- Dealers abroad stocking dual-SIM entry-level Androids.
- Wi-Fi-only deployments and kiosk or display use.
