Samsung Gem 3G 3.2 Megapixel Scratch Resistant Touchscreen Android Verizon Page Plus, Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished and supplied in the original retail box, this Samsung Gem 3G is the 3.2-megapixel scratch-resistant touchscreen Android for Verizon and Page PLUS, reconditioned to close-to-new working order. Collectors and display buyers prefer this boxed refurbished lot over carrier returns when presentation matters.
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: 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. The source listing states this refurbished lot ships in the original retail box.
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.
