Nokia 1208 (850/1900!) GSM Unlocked, New
This Nokia 1208 (850/1900!) is a new, GSM unlocked dual-band basic phone with one-touch shortcut keys, a flashlight, speakerphone, and up to 365 hours of standby, boxed with the original battery, charger, and manual. Its 850/1900 radio set fits the Americas, which is why exporters serving Latin America and the Caribbean order it in quantity, with prop houses taking smaller lots.
The Nokia 1208 is a 2007 ultra-basic candy-bar phone from the same family as the 1200: a small color screen, a keypad with one-touch shortcut keys for SMS, calendar, contacts, and speakerphone, a built-in flashlight, a calculator and converter, and a battery rated up to 7 hours of talk time and 365 hours of standby. This version is the dual-band GSM 850/1900 unit built for the Americas and ships with the original battery, charger, user manual, and Nokia box.
TG Wireless sells it to exporters covering GSM markets in Latin America and the Caribbean, to prop houses, and to collectors of sealed Nokia basics, since the 2G-only radio gives it no US service.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The 1208 is a dual-band 2G GSM phone on 850 and 1900 MHz with no 3G, no LTE, and no VoLTE. T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026 and AT&T shut down 2G years earlier, so the source's note about AT&T and T-Mobile compatibility is out of date and the phone has no US service today. Its uses are export to GSM 850/1900 markets in the Americas, collectors, props, and parts. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table.
Resale fit
- Export to Latin American and Caribbean markets where GSM 850/1900 service remains live.
- Prop houses and set decorators who need period-correct mid-2000s basic phones.
- Collectors and sealed-stock buyers of classic Nokia handsets.
