Motorola W220 Black Claro Locked, Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished Motorola W220 in black, listed as Motorola-w220-black-lkd-rb, Claro locked. This is an export lot for dealers serving Latin American markets where Claro still runs 2G GSM service and a locked prepaid flip can be resold on that network; it has no use in the US and needs an unlock elsewhere.
Motorola's W220 is a 2006 entry-level clamshell with a 128 x 128 color display, a built-in FM radio, SMS and MMS, a WAP 2.0 browser, and long talk time, with no camera or Bluetooth. Latin American carriers sold it in volume as a prepaid phone, and this lot is the Claro-locked build in black, refurbished and intended for export back into Claro markets.
TG Wireless lists the Claro W220 for exporters serving countries where Claro still runs 2G GSM service, and for parts and prop buyers. The carrier lock and the 2G radio rule out any US 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 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. This lot is Claro locked, so it registers only on Claro networks unless unlocked.
Resale fit
- Export lots for regions where GSM 900/1800 service is still live and a tested handset sells at a low ticket.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working mid-2000s Motorola handsets.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
