Description
LG CU400 3G Quad-band, A Grade (A-Stock), GSM unlocked
This LG CU400 GSM Unlocked 3G Quad-band lot is graded A Grade (A-Stock): units that originally came back through a carrier channel and were tested and graded by TG, with very minor marks at most and box contents confirmed per lot. Buyers who want clean working 3G flips, such as exporters, prop departments and collectors, fit this allocation best.
The LG CU400 is a 2006 Cingular clamshell and one of the carrier's first UMTS phones: quad-band GSM plus 3G for Cingular Video, MobiTV, and MobiRadio streaming, a 176 x 220 65K-color internal display with a 96 x 64 external screen, a VGA camera with video, Bluetooth 1.2, Push-to-Talk, mobile email and instant messaging, and a full organizer with tools from a tip calculator to a unit converter. The 3G it was built for is long gone.
TG Wireless offers the CU400 to exporters who supply quad-band flips to markets with live GSM or UMTS service, to collectors of early 3G hardware, and to prop buyers; it has no US network use today.

Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote.
Network and compatibility
The LG CU400 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.
