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
The F490 is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS phone with no LTE and no VoLTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so it gets no US carrier service today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Abroad it registers on live GSM and UMTS networks.
