Description
Samsung R710 Grey (SAMSUNG-R710-LKD-GREY-RB), Factory Refurbished, Cricket locked
Samsung R710 in Grey, SKU samsung-r710-lkd-grey-rb, a Cricket locked CDMA touchscreen feature phone, factory refurbished to close-to-new working order and tested. With no description on file beyond the SKU, this is a collector, prop or parts unit; it cannot be activated on any US carrier today. Ask the account manager about packaging and quantities.
The Samsung SCH-R710, sold by Cricket as the Suede, was a 2010 CDMA touchscreen feature phone: a compact slab with a resistive touch display, TouchWiz widgets, a camera, Bluetooth, microSD expansion and Cricket's prepaid services. This catalog entry carries only the SKU, SAMSUNG-R710-LKD-GREY-RB, which tells us the color is grey, the unit is locked to Cricket, and it is factory refurbished.
Cricket's CDMA network closed with Sprint's in 2022 after the AT&T acquisition moved Cricket to GSM and LTE, so TG Wireless sells the R710 to collectors, prop houses and parts buyers rather than as an activation phone. Confirm packaging with the account manager.

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-R710 is a CDMA phone built for Cricket, 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. 'LKD' in the SKU means locked to Cricket, which no longer runs a CDMA network.

- Collectors and enthusiasts of US carrier feature phones and early Android.
- Film, TV and theater prop houses dressing late-2000s and early-2010s scenes.
