Motorola Motorokr U9 PEBL Purple, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Here the purple Motorola Motorokr U9 Pebl comes Factory Refurbished, GSM Unlocked, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and supplied with the original battery, battery door, charger, manual, and Motorola box. Export resellers in 2G GSM markets and prop houses take the refurbished tier for working units at a lower cost than sealed stock.
The Motorola MOTOROKR U9, sold as the PEBL U9, is a 2008 clamshell music phone with the smooth, rounded PEBL shape in a metallic gloss finish. In music mode, touch-sensitive keys light up on the outer flip, and the external screen shows animated screensavers. It has a 2 MP camera with digital zoom, 25 MB of internal memory, a microSD slot that holds about 1,000 songs on a 4 GB card, stereo Bluetooth, Windows Media Player sync over USB 2.0, CrystalTalk noise reduction, and a talking-phone voice readout for dialing.
TG Wireless sells the U9 new and refurbished to collectors of Motorola design phones, prop houses, and export resellers in 2G GSM markets. 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.
Network and compatibility
The U9 is a 2G GSM phone with no 3G or LTE. T-Mobile shut down its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, and AT&T retired 2G years earlier, so the U9 cannot get voice or data service on any US carrier. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Unlocked units still register on 2G GSM networks in export markets where they operate, subject to the band set, and the phone works offline as a music player and camera.
Resale fit
- Collector shops specializing in Motorola PEBL and ROKR design phones in uncommon colors.
- Export resellers serving 2G GSM markets with compact flip music phones.
