Samsung Brightside U380 Slider Verizon / Pageplus, Factory Refurbished, CDMA
Here the Samsung Brightside U380 Slider for Verizon / Pageplus comes Factory Refurbished: reconditioned to working order, tested, and graded by TG. With CDMA service gone, this lot fits repair shops that need working donor units and prop departments that want a functioning screen and keyboard without paying for sealed stock.
The Samsung Brightside U380 is a 2012 Verizon feature phone with a 3.1-inch touchscreen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard that work at the same time, a 3.2-megapixel camera with video, a preloaded social networking app, and dedicated shortcut keys for messaging. It is a CDMA handset built for Verizon and its prepaid partner Page Plus, with a design aimed at heavy texters.
Repair shops and parts dealers buy the Brightside from TG Wireless as a donor and display unit, while prop houses and collectors want it as a clean example of the last Verizon QWERTY sliders. Export is limited because CDMA networks have largely closed worldwide.

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
The Brightside U380 is a CDMA-only phone without LTE or VoLTE. Verizon shut its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, so this handset cannot make calls or get data on any US carrier, and it has no GSM radio for use abroad. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are parts, display and training units, props, collectors, and offline use of the camera and media player.
Resale fit
- Repair shops needing donor units for screens, keyboards, and housings.
- Prop and set-dressing buyers who want a period Verizon QWERTY slider.
- Collectors of late CDMA feature phones.
