Description
Motorola WX160 900/1800 (export), Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory refurbished Motorola WX160 GSM 900/1800 candybar, unlocked and reconditioned to working order for export. Dealers who supply basic prepaid handsets to markets with live 2G coverage are the buyers for a no-camera phone this simple; the unit has no US bands and no use on a US network.
The Motorola WX160 is a 2010 entry-level GSM candybar from Motorola's low-cost line for first-time phone users in emerging markets. The source gives it as a GSM 900/1800 handset measuring 106 x 46 x 14.5 mm, with a simple menu, a basic display, a flashlight, and long standby from a small battery. It has no camera and no data beyond basic 2G.
TG Wireless lists this factory refurbished lot as a GSM 900/1800 export build for dealers serving markets where 2G service is still live and a tested basic handset sells at a low ticket, and for parts and display use. It has no US bands and no US service.

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 WX160 is a 2G GSM handset with no 3G, LTE, or VoLTE. The listing gives its GSM bands as GSM 900/1800. 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. Export only; the bands do not match US GSM.
Resale fit
- Export lots for regions where GSM 900/1800 service is still live and a tested basic handset sells at a low ticket.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working late-2000s Motorola handsets.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
