LG GS500 Cookie Plus 3G Black Touchscreen, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory Refurbished LG GS500 Cookie PLUS 3G Black Touchscreen GSM Unlocked Cell Phones, listed with the -1 suffix, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and cosmetics. Refurbished Cookie Plus units are a low-ticket shelf item for retro-tech shops that stock the Cookie line and for prop departments that need a 2010 touch phone.
The LG GS500 Cookie Plus is the 2010 3G follow-up to the KP500 Cookie: a full touchscreen feature phone with a 3 MP camera, a dedicated social networking interface for Facebook and Twitter, the LiveSquare avatar contact screen, Cookie speed dial, editable screenshot MMS, animated themes, and pre-installed widgets such as AccuWeather, Amazon search, and news. It kept the Cookie's low price point while adding 3G data and a more playful interface.
TG Wireless offers the GS500 Factory Refurbished to collector and retro-tech shops that follow the Cookie line, to prop buyers, and to exporters serving UMTS markets where its bands are live.

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 GS500 Cookie Plus 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.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
