Description
Nokia Asha 503 Black, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
This Nokia Asha 503 in Black is listed Factory Refurbished and GSM unlocked, a reconditioned example of Nokia's clear-shelled 2013 Asha touchscreen with a 5 MP camera and Wi-Fi. It is bought by collector shops and exporters to markets with live GSM or WCDMA networks; as a 2G/3G phone it cannot be activated on US carriers.
The Nokia Asha 503 is a late-2013 feature phone on the Nokia Asha software platform: a 3-inch touchscreen under Corning Gorilla Glass 2, a bold-colored core inside a clear outer shell, a 5 MP camera with flash, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a microSD slot, and apps including the Nokia Xpress Browser, MixRadio, Fastlane, Line, LinkedIn, and WeChat. It is a 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA phone; it has no LTE, despite the old listing heading calling it 4G.
Collector shops, exporters, and prop buyers take the Asha 503 from TG Wireless as a reconditioned, distinctive Nokia from the last Asha generation; it has no US service use today.

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 Asha 503 is a 2G and 3G phone with no LTE. All US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile retired 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it gets no US cellular service; the '4G' in the old heading was incorrect. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets where GSM or WCDMA is still live, collector resale, props, and Wi-Fi-only use for the built-in apps and camera.
Resale fit
- Export to markets where GSM or WCDMA networks remain in service.
- Collector and retro-phone shops stocking the last Asha-generation Nokias.
- Film, TV, and display props; Wi-Fi-only use.
