Motorola T191 900/1800 export, Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished Motorola T191, listed as Motorola-t191-rb, a dual-band GSM 900/1800 candybar sold as an export lot. This is a bare entry-level handset for exporters serving markets where 900/1800 MHz GSM voice service is still live, and for collectors who want an early Talkabout-era Motorola; it has no US use.
The Motorola T191 is a 2002 entry-level candybar from Motorola's Talkabout era: a small, light dual-band GSM 900/1800 handset with a monochrome display, a basic phonebook and SMS, changeable covers, and nothing resembling a camera or data radio. It was built for first-time users in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, and that is where it still finds buyers.
TG Wireless lists this refurbished lot specifically for export to 900/1800 MHz GSM markets. It has no US bands and no US 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 T191 is a 2G GSM handset with no 3G, LTE, or VoLTE. The listing gives its GSM bands as 900/1800. US carriers shut down 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile retired 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it gets no US voice or data service today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses: export to live-GSM markets, collectors, film and TV props, parts, and display units. Export only; the bands do not match US GSM.
Resale fit
- Export lots for regions where 2G GSM 900/1800 service is still live and a plain tested handset sells at a low ticket.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working early-2000s Motorola handsets.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
