LG Thrive P506 Grey, Factory Refurbished, AT&T
Factory refurbished LG Thrive P506 in Grey, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and tested and graded by TG, AT&T branded with lock state confirmed per lot. The grey refurbished unit is the pick for collector shops that want a clean example of AT&T's first prepaid Android and for exporters serving UMTS markets who want close-to-new cosmetics. No LTE, so no US service.
The LG Thrive P506 was AT&T's 2011 prepaid Android, the GoPhone twin of the Phoenix: a 3.2-inch tempered glass capacitive touchscreen with pinch zoom, Android 2.2 Froyo with Android Market, a 3.2 MP autofocus camera and camcorder, Wi-Fi, Exchange and Gmail email, a dedicated social networking key, FM radio, and a microSD slot for cards up to 32 GB. It is a 3G HSPA phone with no LTE.
TG Wireless carries the Thrive in graded and carrier-return tiers for collector shops that want an early prepaid Android, prop houses that need a 2011 AT&T handset, exporters serving markets where UMTS service on 850 or 1900 MHz is still live, and parts buyers.

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 Thrive P506 is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS/HSPA phone with no LTE. US 3G was retired in 2022 and T-Mobile closed 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it gets no US cellular service today, whatever the lock state; see the network status line in the table. Abroad it still registers where UMTS on 850 or 1900 MHz runs, and over Wi-Fi it works as a small Android device for collectors, props, and display use.
Resale fit
- Collector shops and enthusiasts who want an early AT&T prepaid Android in blue or grey.
- Prop houses and set dressers that need a 2011 compact Android handset.
- Export to markets where UMTS service on 850 or 1900 MHz remains live.
- Parts and display stock for repair shops and retailers.
