Motorola Moto U9 PEBL Purple, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory Refurbished Motorola Moto U9 Pebl in Purple, GSM Unlocked, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and supplied with the original battery, battery door, charger, manual, and Motorola box. Purple is the finish collectors of the PEBL line look for, and export resellers in 2G GSM markets take it as a distinctive compact flip phone.
The Motorola PEBL U9 is a 2008 clamshell music phone with the rounded, pebble-like shape of the original PEBL and a metallic gloss finish. Touch-sensitive music keys appear on the outer flip in music mode, the external screen shows animated screensavers, and the phone syncs with Windows Media Player over USB 2.0. It has a 2 MP camera with digital zoom, 25 MB of internal memory with a microSD slot that holds about 1,000 songs on a 4 GB card, stereo Bluetooth, CrystalTalk noise reduction, and a talking-phone voice readout for dialing.
Collector shops, prop houses, and export resellers in 2G GSM markets buy the PEBL U9 refurbished from TG Wireless; it has no US carrier service.

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. Supplied with the original battery, battery door, charger, manual, and Motorola box, as listed.
Network and compatibility
The PEBL U9 is a 2G GSM phone with no 3G or LTE radio. T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, and AT&T closed 2G years earlier, so the U9 has no voice or data service on any US carrier. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. It still registers on GSM networks in export markets where 2G continues, subject to its band set, and works offline as a music player and camera.
Resale fit
- Collector shops specializing in Motorola's PEBL and RAZR-era design phones.
- Export resellers serving 2G GSM markets where a compact flip music phone still sells.
- Prop and display buyers who need a late-2000s clamshell in an unusual color.
