Description
Motorola Razr V3 Black, factory refurbished, GSM unlocked
This listing is the original Motorola Razr V3 in black, supplied factory refurbished and unlocked for GSM networks. It is the 2004 aluminum clamshell that set the thin-phone standard: a 13.9 mm profile, a chemically etched metal keypad, dual color displays, a VGA camera, and quad-band GSM. This is the GSM V3, not the V3m, which was the CDMA version built for Verizon and Sprint. TG Wireless supplies the black Razr V3 wholesale to collector and vintage-phone shops, to exporters serving markets where 2G GSM service is still live, and to prop houses and parts buyers who want cosmetically consistent, working units rather than a mixed used lot.

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 on the aluminum shell or keypad. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. The listing does not state packaging, so tell your account manager whether you need units with a box and charger or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
Be direct with your customers about where this phone can get service. The Razr V3 is a 2G GSM phone with no 3G or LTE radio. AT&T shut its 2G network down in 2017, all three US national carriers retired 3G in 2022, and T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so the Razr V3 will not register for calls, texts, or data on any US carrier today. It is unlocked for GSM networks abroad where 2G coverage remains live. Treat it as a collector, export, prop, or parts device rather than a US activation.
Resale fit
- Collector and vintage-phone retail: the black Razr V3 is the most recognizable flip phone of its decade, and refurbished units with matching cosmetics outsell mixed used lots.
- Export to regions with active 2G GSM service, for buyers who want a slim unlocked GSM clamshell.
- Film, TV, and photo prop rental, where a period-correct working handset in black is the request.
- Repair and parts stock: hinges, keypads, displays, and shells for Razr V3 owners.
