LG Shine MG296D 850/1800/1900, New, GSM unlocked
This lot is the LG Shine MG296D 850/1800/1900 GSM Unlocked, a brand new tri-band GSM candybar with a 1.3 MP camera, FM radio, MP3 player, and microSD slot, boxed with the original battery, charger, stereo headset, and user guide. Its 850 and 1900 MHz bands make it the pick for exporters serving Latin American and Caribbean counters where 2G GSM is still live.
The LG MG296D is a basic tri-band GSM candybar on 850, 1800, and 1900 MHz, a band set that once covered the Americas and much of the rest of the world on 2G. It carries a 1.3 MP camera, an FM radio, an MP3 player, a microSD slot, Bluetooth, GPRS data, and T9 predictive text, and it ships brand new with the original battery, charger, stereo headset, user guide, and retail box as listed.
TG Wireless offers the MG296D to exporters serving markets where GSM 850 or 1900 service is still live, to collector shops and prop houses that want boxed mid-2000s LG candybars, and to buyers needing display units.

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 MG296D is a 2G GSM phone on 850, 1800, and 1900 MHz with GPRS data and no 3G or LTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so a phone without LTE and VoLTE gets no US carrier service today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to Latin American, Caribbean, and other markets where GSM 850 or 1900 service is still live, collectors, props, and display stock.
Resale fit
- Export lots for Latin American and Caribbean markets where GSM 850/1900 service is still live and a boxed basic phone sells on price.
- Collector shops and prop houses that want a mid-2000s LG candybar new in the box.
