Samsung A177 Magnet Black, New, AT&T GSM unlocked
Samsung A177 Magnet Black - AT&T GSM Unlocked is a New, unused SGH-A177 QWERTY candybar in black, GSM unlocked for quad-band 2G networks, with no 3G or LTE. Sealed feature phones are the easiest lots to move to export buyers because there is no grading conversation, and collectors pay for unopened examples of AT&T's teen messaging line.
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.

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
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.
