Description
Nokia 6263 3G T-Mobile, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
A factory refurbished Nokia 6263 3G T-Mobile clamshell, reconditioned to working order and GSM unlocked, so it registers on any live GSM or AWS-band UMTS network outside the US. The unlocked refurbished lot is the one exporters prefer for mixed-carrier markets, and it also serves collectors who want a working early-3G Nokia.
The Nokia 6263 is a late-2007 clamshell and one of T-Mobile's first 3G handsets, running on the carrier's 1700/2100 MHz UMTS network with quad-band GSM/EDGE fallback for roaming. It carries a 2.2-inch 320 x 240 internal display, a 128 x 160 external display, a 1.3 MP camera with 6x zoom and video, a music player with external controls, stereo Bluetooth, an FM radio, a speakerphone, and a microSD slot, and it supported T-Mobile's myFaves service.
TG Wireless sells the 6263 in new, carrier-return, and factory refurbished grades to exporters serving markets where GSM or AWS-band UMTS service is still live, and to prop houses and collectors who want a T-Mobile 3G flip phone.

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 6263 is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS phone with no LTE, and its 3G radio uses the 1700/2100 MHz AWS band T-Mobile launched with. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it cannot get service in the United States today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets with live GSM or AWS-band UMTS service, collectors, film and TV props, and parts.
Resale fit
- Exporters supplying GSM and AWS-band UMTS markets with flip phones in several grades.
- Film, TV, and theater prop houses that need a 2007 T-Mobile clamshell.
- Collector and vintage-tech shops stocking early 3G Nokias.
- Repair shops and parts buyers who want tested 6263 units for hinges, screens, and batteries.
