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 dual-band GSM 900/1800 phone that never had US bands, so it has not worked on a US carrier at any point, and T-Mobile's August 3, 2026 closure of 2G GSM ended the last US GSM service in any case. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East where GSM 900/1800 service is still live, collectors and enthusiasts, film and TV props, and display stock.
Resale fit
- Export to markets where GSM 900/1800 service is still live and a basic boxed handset has a buyer.
- Collector shops and enthusiasts who want early-2000s Motorola candybars.
- Film and TV prop houses that need period-correct 2002 phones.
