Description
LG A380, Factory Refurbished
Listed as LG A380 4G, this lot is Factory Refurbished LG A380 flip phones reconditioned to close-to-new working order; note the model is a 3G UMTS phone despite the 4G in the title. Color and lock state are confirmed per lot. Reconditioned A380 stock suits exporters who want a tested senior-friendly flip at a lower cost than new.
LG's A380 is a 2012 AT&T flip phone built for voice-first customers: a 2.4-inch internal display, a small external screen for caller ID, a 1.3 MP camera with video, Bluetooth, a speakerphone, a microSD slot, and text-to-speech plus an enhanced-audio senior mode that boosts high frequencies for hard-of-hearing users. It runs on GSM with 3G UMTS data on AT&T's bands and has no LTE.
TG Wireless sells the A380 to exporters who supply simple 3G flips to markets where UMTS is still live, to senior-living and assisted-care suppliers abroad, to collectors of AT&T-era LG clamshells, and to parts dealers. In the US it is no longer an 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 LG A380 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 for calls or data 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 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 feature phone or early Android sells at a low ticket.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working LG handsets from the late 2000s and early 2010s.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct phones.
