Samsung Intensity U450 Black / Red, New, Verizon / Page Plus CDMA
Brand new Samsung Intensity U450 in the Black / Red two-tone finish, a 3G-era CDMA QWERTY slider built for Verizon and Page Plus. New units of a 2009 Verizon messaging phone go to collectors who want an unused example, to prop houses that need clean period handsets, and to display buyers. It will not activate on any US carrier today; see the network section.
The Samsung Intensity SCH-U450 is a 2009 Verizon messaging phone: a horizontal slider with a four-row QWERTY keyboard under a 2.1-inch screen, a 1.3 MP camera, a microSD slot for up to 16 GB, Bluetooth 2.1 with stereo audio, a music player, VZ Navigator GPS, and a 960 mAh battery rated for five hours of talk. It runs on CDMA 800/1900 with 1xRTT data only. There is no GSM, no LTE, and no Wi-Fi.
TG Wireless sells the Intensity to collectors and prop houses that want a period-correct Verizon slider, to display and parts buyers, and to dealers who service remaining CDMA-based networks abroad. It is not a US activation phone.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The Intensity U450 is a CDMA 1xRTT phone built for Verizon and the Verizon-based Page Plus service. Verizon shut down its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and no US carrier operates CDMA today, so this handset cannot be activated for US service in any form. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are collector and retro-phone sales, film and TV props, display units, parts, and export to the few markets where a CDMA 800/1900 network still runs. Offline functions (music player, camera, organizer) work without service.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-phone shops that want a working Verizon QWERTY slider from 2009.
- Film, TV and theater prop houses needing period-correct Verizon handsets.
- Parts and display units for repair benches and retail showcases.
- Export to the remaining CDMA 800/1900 markets, subject to the buyer's own activation checks.
