Description
Samsung Flight A797 Silver 3G QWERTY Touchscreen, Factory Refurbished, AT&T GSM unlocked
Factory Refurbished and GSM Unlocked, this Silver Samsung Flight A797 is the AT&T 3G Qwerty Touchscreen slider reconditioned to working order and tested by TG. It is the practical pick for prop houses that need several matching working units and for exporters who sell on price into GSM markets.
The Samsung Flight, model SGH-A797, is AT&T's 2009 messaging phone: a vertical slider that pairs a 2.8-inch touchscreen with widget shortcuts and a full QWERTY keyboard underneath. It runs Samsung's own feature-phone software with one-touch access to Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, instant messaging, and email, plus a camera with video, a music player, Bluetooth, GPS for AT&T Navigator, and 3G HSDPA data on AT&T's bands.
TG Wireless sells the Flight to collectors of touch-and-type feature phones, to prop houses that need a recognizable 2009 to 2011 AT&T handset, and to exporters who move unlocked GSM sliders into markets where UMTS 850/1900 coverage is still live.

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 Flight A797 is a 2G GSM and 3G HSDPA phone with no LTE, so it has no voice or data service on US carriers today: AT&T closed 3G in February 2022 and T-Mobile retired 2G GSM on August 3, 2026. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Unlocked units still register on GSM and UMTS networks abroad where those remain live, and all units serve collectors, props, and parts.
Resale fit
- Collectors of touchscreen-plus-QWERTY feature phones from the AT&T lineup.
- Prop departments dressing 2009 to 2012 scenes.
- Export lots for GSM and UMTS markets that still sell slider phones.
