Samsung R631 Blue (SAMSUNG-R631-ALLTEL-BLUE-RB), Factory Refurbished, Alltel
Factory refurbished Samsung R631 in Blue, Alltel branded CDMA handset, SKU SAMSUNG-R631-ALLTEL-BLUE-RB, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and tested. No further description is on file, so treat it as a collector, prop or parts phone and confirm its form factor and packaging with the account manager. No US carrier can activate it.
The Samsung SCH-R631 is a CDMA feature phone from the late-2000s regional-carrier lineup, sold here in blue under Alltel branding. Beyond the model number, carrier and color, the catalog entry carries no description, so TG Wireless lists it on what the name and SKU state: a Samsung CDMA handset, factory refurbished, for the Alltel network that Verizon and AT&T absorbed after 2009.
With every US CDMA network now retired, the R631 sells to collectors of regional-carrier phones, prop houses dressing period scenes, and parts buyers. Confirm form factor, packaging and accessories with the account manager before ordering.

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 phone built for Alltel, with no LTE and no VoLTE. Verizon retired CDMA on December 31, 2022, and Sprint's CDMA network, which also carried Cricket, Boost and Virgin traffic, closed the same year, so it gets no service on any US carrier today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Buyers use it for collections, props, display units, parts, and offline functions. Alltel itself was folded into Verizon and AT&T, so there is no Alltel network to return to.
Resale fit
- Collectors and enthusiasts of US carrier feature phones and early Android.
- Film, TV and theater prop houses dressing late-2000s and early-2010s scenes.
- Parts, batteries and display units for repair shops and retail fixtures.
