Samsung Gusto 3 Verizon / Pageplus, Factory Refurbished, CDMA
Factory Refurbished Samsung Gusto 3, the Verizon / Pageplus basic flip phone, reconditioned to close-to-new working order. Because Verizon's CDMA network closed at the end of 2022, this unit is sold for non-service uses: prop departments take a Verizon-branded flip that powers on and looks right on camera, and collectors want the last generation of Samsung carrier flips.
The Samsung Gusto 3, model SM-B311V, is a 2014 Verizon basic flip phone: a compact clamshell with a numeric keypad, an integrated camera, speakerphone for hands-free calls, Bluetooth, and a simple mobile web and email client, sold through Verizon and its prepaid partner Page Plus. It is a CDMA device with no LTE.
Verizon shut down its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, so the Gusto 3 no longer gets service in the US. TG Wireless sells it factory refurbished to buyers who do not need a live network: collectors of Verizon-era flip phones, film and TV prop departments, display and training units, and parts stock for shops that still repair Samsung flips.

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 SKU indicates a black unit; confirm color and packaging with your account manager.
Network and compatibility
The Gusto 3 is a CDMA-only phone built for Verizon and its Page Plus prepaid brand. Verizon retired its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and no other US carrier runs CDMA, so this phone cannot make calls, send texts, or use data on any US network today, and it has no GSM radio for use abroad. The network status line in the table shows the Verizon / Page Plus branding. Realistic uses are collectors, props, display and training units, and parts.
Resale fit
- Collectors and enthusiasts of Verizon-era Samsung flip phones.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need a working-looking 2014 flip phone.
