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 Convoy 3 is a CDMA handset with no GSM radio, no LTE, and no VoLTE. Verizon shut down its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and Page Plus service ran on that network, so the phone cannot be activated on any US carrier today. Carrier branding is per listing; see the network status line in the table. There is no SIM slot and no export path to GSM markets, so realistic uses are collectors, film and TV props, parts, and rugged display or training units.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working rugged Verizon flips from the early 2010s.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need a job-site style handset.
- Parts and display units for repair benches, store fixtures, and training.
