Samsung Messager Touch R631 Alltel, Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished and reconditioned to close-to-new working order, this Samsung Messager Touch R631 is the Alltel 3G touchscreen QWERTY slider in black. Collectors of regional-carrier phones and prop houses that need a 2010 messaging handset with working touchscreen and keyboard take this lot, since there is no carrier service left for it.
The Samsung Messager Touch, model SCH-R631, is a 2010 CDMA messaging phone built for Alltel and other regional US carriers: a 2.6-inch 240 x 320 resistive touchscreen, an external number keypad plus a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, a 2 MP camera, a 3.5 mm headset jack, Bluetooth stereo, a music player with microSD expansion, threaded messaging, and 3G EV-DO data. It follows the Rant-style layout of the earlier Messager line and is a feature phone, not a smartphone.
TG Wireless offers the R631 in black, factory refurbished, to collectors of regional-carrier handsets, to prop houses, and to display and parts 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.
Network and compatibility
The SCH-R631 is a CDMA-only 3G feature phone with no LTE and no GSM radio. Alltel's network was absorbed by Verizon and AT&T after 2009, and US CDMA service ended in 2022 with the Verizon shutdown on December 31 of that year, so it gets no carrier service today and cannot be exported for cellular use; see the network status line in the table. It has no Wi-Fi, so remaining use is display, props, or parts.
Resale fit
- Collectors of Alltel and regional-carrier handsets.
- Prop houses dressing 2010-era scenes.
- Display and parts buyers who need complete R631 units.
