Description
Motorola V3I Gold, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Gold Motorola RAZR V3i handsets, factory refurbished, GSM unlocked, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and tested and graded by TG. The gold RAZR was a status piece in its day, which makes it a favorite for collectors, prop rentals, and fashion shoots that want the recognizable thin-flip silhouette in a flashy finish.
The Motorola RAZR V3i is the 2005 update to the RAZR V3, the thin metal clamshell that defined mid-2000s phone design. It kept the sculpted aluminum body and etched keypad and added a 1.23 MP camera with 8x digital zoom and video capture, a hot-swappable microSD slot, a digital audio player, a 262K-color internal display with a 65K-color external screen, Class 1 Bluetooth, airplane mode, SCREEN3 content, and J2ME games, on a quad-band GSM radio for worldwide roaming. TG Wireless supplies graded V3i units to collectors and enthusiast dealers, to prop houses and costume departments, and to exporters serving markets where 2G GSM service is still live; it has no 3G or LTE and is not a US activation phone.

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 RAZR V3i is a quad-band 2G GSM phone with no 3G or LTE radio. All US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so it will not get service on any US carrier today; see the network status line in the table for the lock state of this listing. Realistic uses are export to markets where 2G GSM service is still live, collector and enthusiast sales, period props for film and TV, and parts or display units. Quad-band means it roams on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 wherever such networks remain.
Resale fit
- Collectors and enthusiast dealers who trade in RAZR-era Motorolas, where a tested unit in an uncommon color commands a premium.
- Film, TV, theater, and fashion prop departments needing working mid-2000s flips with the RAZR silhouette.
- Export to markets where 2G GSM service is still live and a slim quad-band flip has demand.
- Parts and shell donors for repair shops restoring RAZR units.
