Description
BLU Aria II T179 Blue QX, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Listed as BLU Aria II T179 Blue QX, this is the blue Aria II under a second SKU (-D), factory refurbished, GSM unlocked, dual SIM, reconditioned to close-to-new working order. Confirm with your account manager which blue lot you need; both are the same 2G QWERTY candybar for export to live GSM markets, collectors, and prop use.
The BLU Aria II T179 is a compact dual-SIM QWERTY candybar feature phone from BLU's budget line, aimed at young buyers who want messaging and calls without a smartphone price: a full QWERTY keypad, a VGA camera, Bluetooth, a high-beam flashlight, and a battery rated for up to 1,200 hours of standby, sold unlocked for any GSM carrier. It is a 2G GSM phone with no 3G or LTE. TG Wireless supplies refurbished units in blue, green, red, and white to exporters serving Latin American and Caribbean markets where 2G GSM service is still live and a two-SIM feature phone with a keyboard still sells, and to prop and collector buyers; it is not a US activation phone.

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 Aria II T179 is a 2G GSM-only dual-SIM phone with no 3G or LTE radio, sold unlocked for any GSM carrier; see the network status line in the table. All US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so it will not get service on any US carrier today, whatever the original marketing said about US activation. Realistic uses are export to Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia wherever 2G GSM service remains, plus collectors, props, and offline flashlight or alarm use. GSM bands are not stated; confirm before exporting.
Resale fit
- Export distributors serving Latin America and the Caribbean, where BLU is a known brand and a dual-SIM 2G QWERTY phone still moves by the carton.
- Prop and costume departments needing a colorful QWERTY feature phone.
- Collectors and marketplace sellers who deal in BLU and other budget QWERTY bars in multiple colors.
