Motorola W220 Black, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory refurbished Motorola W220 in black, GSM unlocked, the entry-level clamshell with FM radio reconditioned to close-to-new working order. Black refurbished W220 units are the volume lot for export dealers serving live 2G GSM markets, and prop departments use them as plain mid-2000s flips.
The Motorola W220 is a 2006 entry-level clamshell sold worldwide as a first phone and prepaid handset: a colorful flip with a 128 x 128 CSTN color display, a built-in FM radio, SMS and MMS messaging, a WAP 2.0 browser, downloadable wallpapers, ringtones, and games, a lantern function, and up to 497 minutes of talk time per the listing. It has no camera and no Bluetooth, which kept it at the bottom of Motorola's range.
TG Wireless sells the W220 in new and refurbished lots to exporters serving markets where 2G GSM service is still live, where an inexpensive color flip still sells by the carton, and to prop and parts buyers. It has no US carrier service today.

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 W220 is a 2G GSM handset with no 3G, LTE, or VoLTE. 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.
