Motorola Rizr Z9 3G 2-megapixel QVGA Display, Factory Refurbished, AT&T, GSM unlocked
Factory refurbished Motorola Rizr Z9, the AT&T 3G slider with a 2-megapixel camera and QVGA display, GSM unlocked, in the metallic red finish the source describes. Reconditioned Z9 units go to collectors of the RAZR2 generation and to exporters serving UMTS markets, with color confirmed per lot by your account manager.
The Motorola RIZR Z9, sold by AT&T in 2008 as the MOTO Z9, is a metal slider in metallic red that shares its platform with the RAZR2 V9: 3G HSDPA data, a 2 MP camera, a QVGA display, Bluetooth, an assisted GPS receiver for AT&T Navigator, and support for AT&T's Video Share one-way video calling. It is a Linux-based feature phone built for music and video streaming rather than apps.
TG Wireless offers the Z9 to collector shops that want the AT&T slider in its signature red, to prop and display buyers, and to exporters serving markets where UMTS or GSM service is still live. It has no US carrier service 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 RIZR Z9 is a GSM/UMTS phone with 3G data and no LTE or VoLTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it no longer registers on a US network. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Buyers move it to export markets with live GSM or UMTS, collectors, prop houses, parts dealers, and Wi-Fi-only use where supported.
Resale fit
- Export to markets where GSM or UMTS service is still live and an early Android or feature phone sells at a low ticket.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working early-2010s Motorola handsets.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct phones.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
