Offered here is the Samsung Mantra M340 Virgin Mobile flip phone, Factory Refurbished, with a VGA camera, Bluetooth, and speakerphone. It is a 2009 CDMA device with no live network today, so reconditioned units go to collector shops and prop houses that want a working flip for display or period film work. The SKU carries the -RB suffix.

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 Mantra M340 is a CDMA 1xRTT phone built for Virgin Mobile USA on the Sprint network. Sprint's CDMA network was shut down in 2022 and Virgin Mobile USA was folded into Boost Mobile in 2020, so the phone cannot be activated on any US carrier and, as a CDMA device without a SIM slot, has no export path either. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are collector and retro-phone shops, film and TV props, and parts.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-phone shops stocking late-2000s CDMA flip phones.
- Film, TV, and photo prop buyers who need a period-correct prepaid flip.
- Parts dealers sourcing hinges, keypads, and displays for the Mantra line.
