LG Rumor 2 LX265 Orange Sprint, Factory Refurbished, CDMA carrier handset
Orange is the color on this LG LX265 Rumor 2 for Sprint, listed as Lg-lx265-orange-rb Sprint and graded Factory Refurbished under SKU LG-LX265-ORANGE-RB. The orange Rumor 2 is a color collectors specifically hunt for, so retro-phone shops and prop departments take singles, and parts dealers take the lot for QWERTY keyboards and slider housings.
The LG LX265 is the Rumor 2, Sprint's 2009 messaging slider with a horizontal slide-out QWERTY keyboard under a 2.4-inch screen, a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, a microSD slot, and a dedicated texting layout that made it a prepaid and youth-market staple. It is a CDMA handset built for the Sprint network, sold in several colors including the orange listed here, and it ran Sprint's feature-phone software rather than a smartphone OS.
TG Wireless sells the refurbished LX265 to collector and retro-tech shops that want a working Rumor 2 in a specific color, prop departments, and parts dealers who need keyboards and housings.

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 Rumor 2 LX265 is a CDMA handset built for the Verizon network family and has no LTE or VoLTE. Verizon retired its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and no US carrier activates CDMA-only phones now, so this unit gets no US voice or data service. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are collectors and retro-tech shops, film and TV props, parts, store display units, and offline media playback where the phone supports it.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working Verizon-family handsets from the 2000s.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct phones in a known color.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
