Description
Motorola V195 Cell Phones, A Grade, GSM unlocked, carrier return
Motorola V195 quad-band clamshell, graded A-stock from carrier returns that were tested on receipt, GSM unlocked. Lightly used V195 units are an export dealer's basic flip for 2G GSM markets, since the quad-band radio covers both 850/1900 and 900/1800 regions, and prop departments use them as plain T-Mobile-era handsets.
The Motorola V195 is a 2006 T-Mobile clamshell aimed at the basic-messaging buyer: quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 for worldwide roaming on T-Mobile's GPRS partners, Bluetooth for headsets and computers, built-in AOL, Yahoo, MSN, and ICQ instant messaging, a speakerphone, voice notes, voice-activated dialing, predictive text input, and downloads for MegaTones ringtones, wallpapers, and games. It has no camera and no card slot, which kept it on the free-with-contract shelf.
TG Wireless sells graded V195 units to exporters serving live 2G GSM markets, to collector shops that stock T-Mobile feature phones, and to prop and parts buyers. It has no US carrier service today.

Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote.
Network and compatibility
The V195 is a 2G GSM handset with no 3G, LTE, or VoLTE. The listing gives its GSM bands as 850/900/1800/1900. 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.
Resale fit
- Export lots for regions where 2G GSM service is still live and a simple tested handset sells at a low ticket.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working Motorola feature phones from the 2000s.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct handsets in a known color.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
