Samsung Gem 3G 3.2 Megapixel Scratch Resistant Touchscreen Android Verizon Page Plus, Carrier Returns
Returned through a carrier channel and tested and graded by TG on receipt, this Samsung Gem 3G is the 3.2-megapixel scratch-resistant touchscreen Android for Verizon and Page PLUS; no color is stated. Prop houses and Wi-Fi training programs take carrier-return Gems when they need working period Androids and cosmetics are secondary.
The Samsung Gem, model SCH-I100, is a 2010 entry-level Android for Verizon and its prepaid partner Page Plus: a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen with an anti-scratch, anti-smudge coating, an 800 MHz processor, a 3.2 MP camera, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, a virtual QWERTY keyboard, and Android 2.1 Eclair, on Verizon's CDMA network. It was the smallest and cheapest Android in Verizon's lineup at the time.
TG Wireless supplies the Gem as carrier-return and factory-refurbished stock to collectors and prop houses that want a period Verizon Android, to repair benches and training programs that run it on Wi-Fi, and to display buyers who need complete units.

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 SCH-I100 is a CDMA-only 3G phone with no LTE and no GSM radio. Verizon shut down its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and the US 3G networks closed the same year, so this handset gets no US carrier service today, including on Page Plus. It is a Verizon-branded CDMA device with no GSM radio, so it cannot be exported for cellular use either; see the network status line in the table. Wi-Fi still works for apps, browsing, and testing, which is the practical use for this model now.
Resale fit
- Collectors and prop houses that want a Verizon-era entry Android with a touchscreen.
- Repair benches, schools, and training programs using Wi-Fi-only Android handsets.
- Display and parts buyers who need complete, working units.
