Samsung Blast T729 GSM Unlocked Cellphone, New
Samsung Blast T729 GSM Unlocked Cellphone is a New, unused SGH-T729 messaging slider, GSM unlocked for quad-band 2G with no 3G or LTE. Sealed Blasts go to exporters who want a keyboard feature phone for live 2G markets and to collectors who want a boxed T-Mobile slider from 2007; prop houses like the backlit sliding keypad.
The Samsung Blast SGH-T729 is T-Mobile's 2007 messaging slider: a candybar-style phone whose front keypad slides up to reveal a 20-key condensed QWERTY keypad with raised, backlit keys for texting in the dark. It has a 2.1-inch QVGA display, a 1.3 MP camera with 4x digital zoom, a media player, stereo Bluetooth, microSD expansion, instant messaging, and email. The radio is quad-band GSM with GPRS/EDGE and no 3G or LTE, so it is a 2G-market phone today.
TG Wireless sells the Blast to exporters of messaging feature phones for live 2G markets and to collector and prop buyers.

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 GSM service is still live and basic unlocked handsets sell at a low ticket.
- Collector shops and film and TV prop houses that want period-correct handsets from the late 2000s.
- Parts and refurbishment stock for the Samsung feature-phone lines.
