Samsung Solstice A886 3G Touchscreen, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory refurbished Samsung Solstice A886, the 3G touchscreen with a 3-inch display and 2 MP camera, GSM unlocked, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and tested. Color is not stated, so confirm with the account manager. Exporters who place tested touchscreen feature phones with prepaid retailers in live-3G markets are the buyers for this unit.
The Samsung Solstice is a 2009 touchscreen feature phone built around a 3-inch 240 x 400 display with a virtual landscape QWERTY keyboard and TouchWiz widgets for Facebook, MySpace and Yahoo search. It has a 2-megapixel camera with video, Bluetooth, a full HTML browser, a microSD slot to 16 GB and 3G HSDPA data with video-share calling. The A886 is the variant number carried in this listing, alongside the AT&T A887.
TG Wireless sells the Solstice A886 factory refurbished to exporters supplying markets with live 2G and 3G GSM networks, where an unlocked touchscreen with a social-widget interface still sells at a low ticket, and to collectors of the pre-Android touch era.

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 Solstice A886 is a 3G GSM phone with no LTE and no VoLTE. All US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile switched off its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so it gets no service on any US carrier in any lock state. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to countries with live GSM and UMTS networks, Wi-Fi or offline use where supported, collectors, props, and parts.
Resale fit
- Exporters supplying markets in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia where 2G or 3G GSM service is still live.
- Collectors and prop houses that need period-correct Samsung handsets.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and retail fixtures.
