Samsung Galaxy Note II I317 16 GB Grey, Factory Refurbished, AT&T branded, GSM unlocked
Here the Samsung Note II I317 comes in Grey with 4G LTE, AT&T branding and GSM unlock, sold as factory refurbished, meaning reconditioned to close-to-new working order and then tested and graded by TG. Parts dealers and collector shops who want a presentable Note II with its S Pen and removable battery are the usual buyers of this unit.
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: 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 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.
