LG GB250 Black 3G Quad-band GSM, New, GSM unlocked
Brand new LG GB250 Black 3G Quad-band GSM Unlocked bar phones, boxed with battery, charger, stereo headset, and user guide. The GB250 is an export unit for distributors covering UMTS 2100 markets where a cheap 3G bar phone with a music player still has a buyer, and a collector item for LG feature-phone shelves.
The LG GB250, sold in some markets as the Madison, is a 2009 entry-level 3G candybar: quad-band GSM with UMTS 2100 and HSDPA 1.8 Mbps, a 2-inch 176 x 220 display with 262K colors, a 1.3 MP camera, an MP3 player with playlists by artist, album, and genre, FM radio, stereo Bluetooth 2.1, speakerphone, about 22 MB of memory with USB 2.0 mass storage, and MMS, T9, and organizer functions. It can also act as a UMTS/HSDPA modem for a PC.
TG Wireless offers the GB250 brand new in black to exporters serving UMTS 2100 markets, and to collector and prop buyers who want a boxed LG 3G bar phone.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The LG GB250 is a GSM/UMTS phone with 3G data and no LTE or VoLTE. The listing gives its bands as GSM 850/900/1800/1900 with UMTS 2100. 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, prop houses, and parts dealers.
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.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
