Condition: Carrier Returns
Carrier return units come back through a carrier channel and are tested and graded by TG on receipt. Expect a mix of open-box and lightly handled units; cosmetics and packaging are confirmed per lot by your account manager.
Network and compatibility
The Fascinate I500 Galaxy S is a Verizon CDMA phone with EV-DO data and no LTE. Verizon retired its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and Page Plus rode on that network, so this handset gets no US carrier service today and cannot be activated anywhere in the US. See the network status line in the table for the branding of each listing. Remaining uses are collectors, film and TV props, parts and display units, and offline or Wi-Fi use where the model supports it.
Resale fit
- Collectors of first-generation Galaxy S variants in black and white.
- Film and TV prop houses.
- Repair shops that need I500 donors.
- Wi-Fi-only and offline use.
