Samsung A177 Magnet Black AT&T GSM Unlocked

Samsung A177 Magnet Black, Factory Refurbished, AT&T GSM unlocked

This lot of Samsung A177 Magnet Black AT&T GSM Unlocked units is Factory Refurbished SGH-A177 stock: tested, cleaned, and reset, GSM unlocked for quad-band 2G with no 3G or LTE. Exporters building mixed QWERTY feature-phone lots take refurbished Magnets as the lower-cost alternative to sealed units, and prop houses rarely need a box.

The Samsung SGH-A177 is the 2009 AT&T Magnet, a slim candybar messaging phone with a full QWERTY keyboard, a 2.2-inch 64K-color screen, and a soft-touch black finish aimed at teen texters. It carries a VGA camera with picture caller ID, Bluetooth, a dedicated message key, and AT&T's MEdia Net WAP browser with mobile email and instant messaging for AOL, Yahoo, and Windows Live. The radio is quad-band GSM with GPRS/EDGE only, no 3G or LTE.

TG Wireless sells the A177 to exporters who supply QWERTY feature phones to live 2G markets and to collector and prop buyers who want a clean late-2000s AT&T messaging phone.

Key specifications

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

This is a 2G GSM phone with GPRS/EDGE data and no 3G or LTE radio, so it cannot register on any US carrier: AT&T closed its 2G network in 2017, the US 3G networks shut in 2022, and T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM layer on August 3, 2026; see the network status line in the table. GSM unlocked units still work on live 2G networks abroad. In the US, treat it as export, collector, prop, or parts stock.

Resale fit

• Export to Latin America, Africa, and Asia, where 850/1900 MHz GSM service is still live and basic carrier handsets sell at a low ticket.
• Collector shops and film and TV prop houses that want period-correct AT&T handsets from the late 2000s.
• Parts and refurbishment stock for the Samsung SGH A-series.
