Description
Motorola W205 Black 900/1800 (export only), Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Black Motorola W205 candy bars in the 900/1800 MHz version, marked export Only, GSM unlocked and Factory Refurbished, reconditioned to close-to-new working order with original battery, battery door, charger, and user guide. Export distributors who supply basic camera-free voice phones to GSM 900/1800 markets are the only realistic buyer; the bands do not match US carriers.
The Motorola W205 is a 2007 entry-level GSM candy bar: a 128 x 128 65K-color CSTN display, a directional keypad with large icons, SMS with storage for 750 messages, a 500-entry phonebook, iTAP 5.5 predictive text, polyphonic alerts, a 2.5 mm mono headset jack, and 1 MB of user memory in a 108 x 44 x 14.9 mm body. It has no camera, no 3G, and no LTE, and this lot is the 900/1800 MHz version for networks outside North America.
TG Wireless sells the W205 strictly as an export phone to distributors supplying basic voice handsets to markets where GSM 900/1800 service continues, and to prop and parts buyers.

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
This W205 lot is the GSM 900/1800 MHz version, bands used in Europe, Africa, Asia, and much of Latin America but not by US carriers, which is why it is listed export only. It has no 3G, LTE, or VoLTE, and US 2G GSM service ended when T-Mobile closed its network on August 3, 2026, so it has no US use beyond props and parts. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Confirm that the destination market still runs 2G GSM before ordering.
Resale fit
- Export distributors supplying basic voice phones to markets with live GSM 900/1800 service.
- Prop houses needing anonymous late-2000s candy bar phones.
- Parts dealers buying for keypads, housings, and batteries.
