LG GB255G Pink 3G Quad-band GSM, Carrier Returns, GSM unlocked
The pink LG GB255G is the same 3G quad-band GSM clamshell in its fashion color, GSM unlocked, offered as Carrier Returns and graded by TG on receipt. Pink feature phones of this era sell to collectors, film and TV prop departments, and exporters who stock a second color beside gray for GSM markets.
The LG GB255G is a compact 3G clamshell feature phone from the 2009 to 2010 period, sold in North America through prepaid carriers. It is a talk-and-text phone with a 2-inch internal screen, a 1-inch external display for caller ID, a 1.3 MP camera, Bluetooth, a music player with microSD expansion up to 4 GB, and quad-band GSM with 850 and 1900 MHz WCDMA. It weighs 84 g and runs close to 450 hours on standby. Dealers buy the GB255G from TG Wireless as a low-cost basic flip for export to GSM and UMTS markets, for prop and set-dressing orders that need period-correct handsets, and for collectors who buy small flip phones by the lot.

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.
Network and compatibility
The GB255G is a 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA phone with no LTE. All three US national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so it will not get service on a US carrier today. Realistic uses are export to markets where GSM 850/900/1800/1900 or WCDMA 850/1900 service is still live, collectors, props, and parts. Both listings are GSM unlocked; see the network status line in the table.
Resale fit
- Export to GSM and UMTS markets where a basic unlocked flip phone still sells at retail.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct feature phones in quantity.
- Collectors and novelty resellers who buy small flip phones by color.
