Motorola Rival A455 Purple 3G, Factory Refurbished, Verizon and Page Plus CDMA
Factory refurbished Motorola Rival A455 in purple, the Verizon and Page Plus CDMA 3G QWERTY slider, reconditioned to close-to-new working order. Purple Rivals are the color collectors and prop departments ask for when dressing a late-2000s scene, and the slider mechanism and keyboard serve parts dealers.
The Motorola Rival A455 is a 2009 Verizon messaging phone: a compact side slider with a backlit QWERTY keyboard, a touch-capable external screen with one-touch keys for text and instant messaging, a 2 MP camera and camcorder, Bluetooth, EV-DO 3G data for V Cast music, and VZ Navigator GPS. It is a CDMA feature phone, not a smartphone, and it was sold in purple and silver among other finishes, and carried by Page Plus as a Verizon-network prepaid handset.
TG Wireless sells the Rival to collector and prop buyers who want a period Verizon QWERTY slider in a specific color, and to parts dealers. It cannot be activated on a US network today.

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 Rival A455 is a CDMA handset built for the Verizon network family and has no LTE or VoLTE. Verizon retired CDMA on December 31, 2022, and no US carrier activates CDMA-only phones now, so it gets no US voice or data service. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses: collectors and retro-tech shops, film and TV props, parts, display units, and offline media playback where supported.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working Verizon-family handsets from the 2000s.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct phones in a known color.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
