Nokia 1616 Black Compact Phone with Flashlight, New, GSM unlocked
The Nokia 1616 Black listed here is the compact-size basic phone with the built-in flash light, new in the original retail box with battery, charger, headset, and case, GSM unlocked on 850/1900 MHz. Exporters buying basic 2G Nokias by the carton for African, Latin American, and South Asian markets are the main buyers for this configuration.
The Nokia 1616 is a 2010 entry-level candybar with a 1.8-inch 65K-color display, a large keypad, a built-in flashlight, an FM radio, a speaking alarm clock, and room for 500 contacts and 250 text messages. The American version runs on GSM 850/1900 MHz, with no 3G, no camera, and no data beyond basic GPRS. It was sold through T-Mobile prepaid in the US.
TG Wireless moves the 1616 to exporters serving markets where 2G GSM is still live, where a durable, long-standby basic phone with a flashlight still sells by the carton, and to prop houses and collectors who want a sealed Nokia of this era.

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 Nokia 1616 is a 2G GSM-only phone. T-Mobile shut down its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, after AT&T's 2G shutdown in 2017 and the 3G retirements of 2022, so it cannot get service on any US carrier today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to countries with live GSM 850/1900 service, film and TV props, collectors, and as offline flashlight, radio, and alarm units.
Resale fit
- Exporters supplying basic GSM handsets to markets where 2G voice service continues.
- Film, TV, and theater prop buyers who need a boxed, period-correct basic Nokia.
- Collector and vintage-tech shops stocking sealed Nokia candybar phones.
