Samsung Galaxy Note II I317 16 GB Grey, A Grade, AT&T branded, GSM unlocked
This Samsung Note II I317 in Grey, 4G LTE, AT&T branded and GSM unlocked, is listed as Carrier Returns A-stock: units that came back through a carrier channel and were tested and graded A by TG, so lightly used with at most very minor marks. Exporters who need a clean-looking Note II for GSM markets with live legacy networks take this grade.
The SGH-I317 is AT&T's version of the 2012 Galaxy Note II, the phone that fixed the first Note's rough edges with a 5.5-inch 720p Super AMOLED screen, a 1.6 GHz quad-core Exynos, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage with a microSD slot, NFC, and a removable 3,100 mAh battery. The S Pen hovered over the screen for previews and the software added split-screen multitasking, features that defined the Note line for years.
TG Wireless sells the I317 to exporters, parts dealers and collectors. It no longer carries voice on US networks, but a tested unlocked Note II still moves in GSM markets with live 2G or 3G service and as a donor or display unit.

Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote.
Network and compatibility
The Galaxy Note II SGH-I317 is an LTE phone from 2012, built when calls still ran over 2G and 3G. It does not support VoLTE, so with the 2022 US 3G retirement and T-Mobile's 2G shutdown on August 3, 2026, it no longer gets voice service on any US carrier; LTE data alone is not enough for activation. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets with live GSM or UMTS service, Wi-Fi use, parts, props, and collectors.
Resale fit
- Export to GSM markets where 2G and 3G voice is still live and a Note II still activates.
- Repair shops stocking donor boards, 5.5-inch panels and S Pens for the Note II line.
- Collector shops and prop houses that want a working early stylus phone.
- Wi-Fi-only deployments for note-taking, kiosks and media playback.
