Huawei U2800 RB, Factory Refurbished, lock state not stated
Factory refurbished Huawei U2800 candybars under the SKU HUAWEI-U2800-RB, with lock state and color confirmed per lot. Reconditioned 3G feature phones at this price level go to exporters who fill mixed lots for live UMTS markets and to parts dealers who need tested donor units for the AT&T U2800A.
The Huawei U2800 is a basic 3G candybar from around 2010 that AT&T sold as the U2800A through its prepaid channel, a small phone with a color screen, a camera, Bluetooth, and a numeric keypad built for calls and texting rather than apps. It belongs to the class of low-cost carrier phones that moved in volume at prepaid counters before smartphones took over that price point. TG Wireless lists the U2800 for exporters serving markets where GSM and UMTS service is still live, for collector and prop buyers who want a period AT&T handset, and for parts dealers who need working donor units.

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 Huawei U2800 is a GSM/UMTS phone with 3G data and no LTE or VoLTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it no longer registers on a US network. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Buyers move it to export markets where GSM or UMTS is still live, to collectors and prop houses, to parts dealers, and to Wi-Fi-only use where supported.
Resale fit
- Export to markets where GSM or UMTS service is still live and a Symbian-era phone sells at a low ticket.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working Nokia handsets from the late 2000s and early 2010s.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct phones.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
