Description
Nokia C3-01 Touch and Type Gray, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
A factory refurbished Nokia C3-01 in Gray, listed as the Nokia C3-01 Gray 4G although the phone is a 3G UMTS and Wi-Fi handset, reconditioned to working order and GSM unlocked. The metal-bodied touch-and-type design suits exporters placing refurbished Nokias in UMTS markets and collectors who want a working late Series 40 phone.
The Nokia C3-01 Touch and Type is a 2010 Series 40 phone that combines a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 resistive touchscreen with a conventional alphanumeric keypad in a 360-degree metal casing, so the owner can tap the screen or type one-handed. It has a 5 MP EDOF camera with LED flash, VGA video, Wireless-N Wi-Fi, 3G on 850/1900/2100 MHz UMTS with EDGE fallback, stereo Bluetooth, microSD to 32 GB, an FM radio, Ovi Mail and social apps, and up to 4 hours of 3G talk time.
TG Wireless offers the C3-01 factory refurbished to exporters serving live UMTS markets, to collectors of late Nokia feature phones, and to prop and Wi-Fi-only buyers.

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. The listing does not state packaging or accessories for this refurbished lot; confirm with your account manager.
Network and compatibility
The C3-01 is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS phone with Wi-Fi and no LTE; the '4G' in the listing name is incorrect. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it cannot get cellular 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 where UMTS 850/1900/2100 or GSM service is still live, Wi-Fi-only use for email and browsing, collectors, and props.
Resale fit
- Exporters supplying UMTS markets with a refurbished metal-bodied Nokia with Wi-Fi and a 5 MP camera.
- Collector and vintage-tech shops stocking late Series 40 Nokias.
