Description
Motorola W385 Grey, A Grade, Verizon and Page Plus, carrier returns
Grey Motorola W385 for Verizon and Page Plus, graded A-stock from carrier returns that were tested on receipt. Grey W385 flips were everywhere on Verizon in 2007 and 2008, which makes lightly used units the right prop for a period US scene; collectors and parts dealers take the rest, since no US network activates CDMA today.
The Motorola W385 is Verizon's 2007 budget flip in the KRZR style: a slim clamshell with a 1.8-inch 128 x 160 internal color display, a 96 x 32 white-on-blue external display for time, battery, and caller ID, a VGA camera, Bluetooth for headsets, GPS for VZ Navigator, and polyphonic ringtones. It runs on CDMA 850 and 1900 MHz, and Verizon and Page Plus sold it in large numbers as a free-with-contract and prepaid phone.
TG Wireless sells graded W385 units to prop departments that need a common Verizon flip from the late 2000s, to collectors, and to parts dealers. Verizon retired CDMA at the end of 2022, so it has no carrier service today.

Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote.
Network and compatibility
The W385 is a CDMA handset built for the Verizon network family and has no LTE or VoLTE. Verizon retired CDMA on December 31, 2022, and no US carrier activates CDMA-only phones now, so it gets no US voice or data service. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses: collectors and retro-tech shops, film and TV props, parts, display units, and offline media playback where supported.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working Verizon-family handsets from the 2000s.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct phones in a known color.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
