Description
Motorola V195 GSM unlocked, Factory Refurbished
Factory Refurbished Motorola V195 flip phones, GSM Unlocked and reconditioned to close-to-new working order, listed with original battery, charger, user guide, and Motorola box; this is the lower-cost alternative to the new lot of the same model. Exporters moving volume into live GSM markets, and prop buyers who need working camera-free flips in quantity, are the fit.
The Motorola V195 is a 2006 entry-level clamshell sold through T-Mobile: quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 with GPRS, Bluetooth, a speakerphone, voice-activated dialing, voice notes, predictive text, instant messaging clients for AOL, Yahoo, MSN, and ICQ, an external caller-ID display, and a vibrating alert. It has no camera, no 3G, and no LTE, which is why the realistic market now is export, props, and parts rather than US activation.
TG Wireless lists the V195 in both new and Factory Refurbished lots for exporters who supply basic GSM flips to live GSM markets, for prop houses, and for dealers who need plain voice handsets for display or offline use.

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 V195 is a 2G GSM phone with no 3G, LTE, or VoLTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so it gets no US service today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. These units are GSM unlocked, so they register on any live GSM network worldwide. Realistic uses: export to live GSM markets, collectors, props, and parts.
Resale fit
- Exporters supplying plain quad-band GSM flips to markets with live GSM service.
- Prop houses needing anonymous mid-2000s flip phones without a camera.
- Dealers who sell camera-free handsets to secure facilities, where allowed, for offline or display use.
