Samsung Keystone 2 E1205 Black, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory Refurbished Samsung Keystone 2 E1205 in Black, GSM Unlocked, reconditioned to close-to-new working order, with the color display, FM radio, torch light, and anti-dust keypad of the model. The refurbished grade is the price-driven choice for exporters filling volume orders of basic phones for 2G GSM markets, where a tested working handset matters more than sealed packaging.
The Samsung Keystone 2, model GT-E1205, is an entry-level GSM bar phone from Samsung's 2012-era basic range: a slim candybar with a rubber anti-dust keypad, a five-way navigation key, a color display in place of the monochrome screens of rival entry phones, a scalloped back for grip, MP3 ringtones, an FM radio, and a built-in torch light. It has no camera and no data beyond basic GSM.
TG Wireless sells the Keystone 2 to exporters who supply basic voice-and-text phones to markets where 2G GSM is still the backbone, to institutional buyers who need simple handsets for loaner use abroad, and to collectors and prop buyers who want a clean basic phone.

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 Keystone 2 is a 2G GSM phone with no 3G or LTE, so it cannot get service on any US carrier: the US 3G networks closed in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM service on August 3, 2026. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. The GSM band set varies by regional variant and is not stated, so confirm bands against the destination network before buying for export, where it remains a practical basic phone on live 2G networks.
Resale fit
- Export to markets in Africa, Asia, and Latin America where 2G GSM voice and text service continues.
- Institutional and NGO buyers who need simple, low-cost handsets for programs abroad.
- Collectors and prop buyers who want a basic bar phone that powers on.
