Description
Motorola U6 Pebl Snow White, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Snow White is the cleanest-looking Motorola U6 PEBL finish, and this listing is the Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked version, tested and reconditioned to close-to-new working order. White units photograph well and suit boutique and design-store displays, and the unlocked radio still serves voice and SMS in export GSM markets.
The Motorola PEBL U6 is the 2005 fashion clamshell that followed the RAZR: a smooth oval body with a soft-touch or metal finish, a dual hinge that opens with one push, a small vertical external display, and a 176 x 220 internal color screen. Inside it is a basic quad-band 2G GSM phone with GPRS data, a VGA camera with MPEG-4 video capture, Bluetooth, Java MIDP 2.0, and Motorola's SCREEN3 content feed. It sold in several colors beyond the launch black, which is why the pink, orange, lime green, teal blue, burgundy, and white variants are collected today.
Collector shops, prop houses, and fashion and gift retailers buy the PEBL from TG Wireless as a recognizable mid-2000s design object, with graded condition stated per listing, and exporters take unlocked units for GSM markets.

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 PEBL U6 is a quad-band 2G GSM phone with GPRS data and no 3G or LTE. T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, and all US 3G networks closed in 2022, so the PEBL cannot get service from any US carrier. Most listings in this family are GSM unlocked; two refurbished lots do not state lock status, so see the network status line in the table for each unit. Unlocked units still work for voice and SMS in export markets where GSM 850/900/1800/1900 remains live. For US buyers the use is collecting, display, props, and parts.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops, where the PEBL's color variants sell as design pieces alongside the RAZR.
- Fashion, gift, and streetwear retailers that stock Y2K-era phones as accessories and display items.
- Film, TV, and photo-shoot props for 2005 to 2008 period scenes.
- Export voice and SMS use in GSM markets for unlocked units, and parts donors for PEBL repairs.
