Description
NEC e132 GSM Unlocked Cellphone, Used A Grade, GSM unlocked
Listed as Used A-stock, this NEC e132 is a lightly used, fully tested tri-band GSM unlocked cellphone graded A Grade, with very minor marks at most. Collectors who want a working example at a lower cost than the boxed new unit, and exporters to live-GSM 900/1800 markets, take the used lot; ask your account manager about packaging.
The NEC e132 is a compact tri-band GSM feature phone from NEC's mid-2000s handset line, sold unlocked. It covers GSM 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz, carries a built-in digital camera with video recording, Bluetooth, WAP and GPRS data, SMS and MMS, Java applications and games, predictive text, an organizer, and a 300-entry phonebook. It was positioned as an affordable multifunction phone, and its appeal now is as a well-made Japanese-brand handset from a maker that has long since left the phone business.
TG Wireless sells the e132 new and used to collector and vintage-tech shops, to prop houses, and to exporters serving the few GSM 900/1800 markets where 2G voice is still live.

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
Both listings are GSM unlocked; see the network status line in the table. The e132 is a 2G-only tri-band GSM phone on 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz, with no 850 MHz band, no 3G, and no LTE or VoLTE. It gets no service on any US carrier: the US 3G networks closed in 2022 and T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026. Where 2G GSM is still live abroad, the 900 and 1800 MHz bands match most European, African, and Asian networks. In the US it is a collector, prop, or parts item.
Resale fit
- Collector and vintage-tech shops that want a boxed NEC-branded GSM phone from the mid-2000s.
- Film and TV prop houses needing period-correct compact handsets.
- Exporters to GSM 900/1800 markets where 2G voice service remains live.
