Nokia 5130i XpressMusic Red, New, GSM unlocked
Sealed Nokia 5130i XpressMusic units in red, GSM unlocked, with the side music keys and 3.5 mm jack that defined the XpressMusic line. Red was the signature color of this model, which makes it a strong fit for collector shops and prop departments that want the recognizable version, and for export lots where a quad-band 2G Nokia still has a buyer.
The Nokia 5130 XpressMusic is a 2009 Series 40 candybar built around music: dedicated playback keys on the side, a stereo FM radio with RDS, a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a microSD slot that shipped with a 1 GB card. It has a 2-inch QVGA screen, a 2 MP camera, Bluetooth 2.0 with stereo audio, a micro-USB port, and a removable 1,020 mAh BL-5C battery that gives long standby. The 5130i variant listed here is the same handset. TG Wireless moves it to exporters, collector shops, and prop houses that want a sealed, red, classic Nokia music phone.

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 5130 XpressMusic is a 2G GSM handset with no 3G, LTE, or VoLTE. The listing gives its GSM bands as GSM 850/900/1800/1900. US carriers shut down 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile retired 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it gets no US service today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets with live GSM service, collectors, props, parts, and display units. The quad-band radio still covers most 2G networks outside the US.
Resale fit
- Export lots for regions where 2G GSM service is still live and a simple tested handset sells at a low ticket.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working Nokia phones from the 2000s.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct handsets.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
