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 GT540 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 900/2100. 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, parts dealers, and Wi-Fi-only use.
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.
