Condition: Carrier Returns
Carrier return units come back through a carrier channel and are tested and graded by TG on receipt. Expect a mix of open-box and lightly handled units; cosmetics and packaging are confirmed per lot by your account manager. Carrier-return units may arrive in mixed packaging; ask your account manager what is included in this lot.
Network and compatibility
This is a Sprint CDMA device with no LTE and no VoLTE. Sprint's CDMA network was shut down in 2022 after the T-Mobile merger, and no US carrier activates CDMA-only phones today, so it has no US cellular service of any kind. Wi-Fi features still work. Realistic uses are collectors and enthusiasts, film and TV props, Wi-Fi-only media and display use, and parts. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table.
