Samsung A117 Black, New, GSM unlocked
Samsung A 117 - Black GSM Unlocked Cellphone is a New, unused SGH-A117 clamshell in black, GSM unlocked for 850/1900 MHz networks, with no 3G or LTE. New-condition basic flips are what exporters want for markets that still run 2G, since a sealed unit needs no grading conversation, and collectors pay for unused examples of carrier flips from this era.
The Samsung SGH-A117 is a 2007 AT&T entry-level clamshell: a basic voice-and-text phone with an internal antenna, a 128 by 160 color main screen, a small monochrome external display for caller ID, speakerphone, and a WAP browser for AT&T's MEdia Net. It has no camera and no music player and runs on dual-band GSM 850/1900 only, which was fine for its prepaid GoPhone audience at the time and limits it to 2G markets now.
TG Wireless offers the A117 to exporters who supply basic GSM flips to markets with live 2G service, and to collectors, prop houses, and parts buyers who need a clean example of a late-2000s carrier flip.

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 Samsung A117 is a 2G GSM-only phone on the 850 and 1900 MHz bands, with no 3G and no LTE, so it cannot get service on any US carrier today: AT&T shut its 2G network in 2017, 3G networks closed in 2022, and T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM on August 3, 2026; see the network status line in the table. GSM unlocked units still register on live 2G networks abroad. In the US its realistic uses are export, collector and prop sale, and parts.
Resale fit
- Export to markets in Latin America, Africa, and Asia where 850/1900 MHz GSM service remains live and a basic flip sells at a low ticket.
- Collector shops and film and TV prop houses that want a period-correct 2007 AT&T flip phone.
- Parts and refurbishment stock for the Samsung A-series clamshells.
