Samsung A436 Black GSM Unlocked Cellphone, New
New Samsung A436 in Black, a GSM unlocked clamshell feature phone with a VGA camera, Bluetooth, and speakerphone. A new black A436 is a prop and collector item for the late-2000s flip-phone look, and exporters serving markets with live 2G GSM service take it as a boxed basic phone for talk-and-text customers.
The Samsung A436 (SGH-A436) is a 2007-era GSM clamshell feature phone sold through AT&T, a basic talk-and-text handset with an integrated VGA camera, Bluetooth, speakerphone, vibrating alert, e-mail and MMS messaging, a 1,000-contact address book, polyphonic ringtones, and the usual calendar, calculator, and converter tools. It is a 2G phone with no 3G or LTE radio. Dealers buy the A436 from TG Wireless as a collector and prop phone, for export to markets where 2G GSM service is still live, and as a boxed basic handset for display and training uses where network service is not needed.

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. The source listing states the package includes the original battery and battery door, the original charger, and a user guide.
Network and compatibility
The A436 is a 2G GSM phone with no 3G or LTE. T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, after the 2022 3G shutdowns, so it will not get service on any US carrier today. It still works on 2G GSM networks abroad where they remain live, and offline as a display or prop unit. Both listings are GSM unlocked; see the network status line in the table. Confirm the GSM band set against the destination market before ordering volume.
Resale fit
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct flip phones in black and red.
- Collectors and novelty resellers who buy late-2000s Samsung flips by color.
- Export to markets where 2G GSM service is still live.
