Description
Quickfire 3G Touchscreen Green AT&T GSM Unlocked, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory Refurbished and GSM unlocked, this Green AT&T Quickfire has been reconditioned to working order and will register on any live GSM network outside the US. Exporters who sell inexpensive unlocked touchscreen QWERTY phones into live-GSM markets take refurbished Quickfires in color, and collectors prefer the unlocked unit for use with a foreign SIM.
The Quickfire is a messaging phone AT&T launched in late 2008, built by UTStarcom (later PCD): a 2.8-inch 240 x 320 touchscreen that rotates to landscape and slides up to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, with a 1.3 MP camera, Bluetooth 2.0 with stereo audio, GPS for AT&T Navigator, a microSD slot to 8 GB, and quad-band GSM with 3G UMTS on AT&T's 850/1900 MHz bands. It came in grey, green, and orange shells.
With no LTE radio it has no US network today, so TG Wireless sells it to collectors of late-2000s messaging phones, prop and display buyers, exporters to live-GSM markets (unlocked units), and parts dealers who want the slider and screen.

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 Quickfire is a 2G/3G phone with no LTE. AT&T shut its 3G network in February 2022 and its 2G years earlier, and T-Mobile retired the last US 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so no Quickfire gets US service. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. AT&T / H20 and AT&T locked listings are tied to AT&T and its H2O Wireless prepaid brand; GSM unlocked units register on live GSM or UMTS 850/1900 networks abroad. Uses are export, collecting, props, and parts.
Resale fit
- Collectors and retro-phone shops that want a working late-2000s AT&T touchscreen QWERTY slider, especially in orange or green.
- Film, TV, and photo props needing a period-correct 2008 AT&T handset.
- Export of GSM unlocked units to markets where GSM or UMTS 850/1900 service is still live.
- Parts, screen, and keyboard donors for other Quickfire units.
