Motorola WX161 RB, Factory Refurbished, lock not stated
Motorola WX161, listed as Motorola WX161 RB, a factory refurbished entry candybar from the 2010 WX series with no camera and a plain voice-and-text feature set. The buyer is an export dealer who needs the cheapest tested handset for a live 2G market, or a parts and display account; it has no US network use.
The Motorola WX161 is a 2010 entry-level GSM candybar in the same low-cost series as the WX160, built for first-time phone users with a simple menu, a basic display, a flashlight, and long standby. It is a voice-and-text phone with no camera and no data beyond basic 2G. The source for this listing is only the SKU line, so the specification here is limited to the model series facts.
TG Wireless sells the factory refurbished WX161 to export dealers who supply basic prepaid handsets to markets where 2G GSM service is still live, and to parts and display 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 WX161 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 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.
