Samsung Solstice A887 Black 3G Touchscreen, Carrier Returns, AT&T branded, GSM unlocked
Samsung Solstice A887 in Black, the AT&T 3G touchscreen, GSM unlocked, sold as carrier returns: units that came back through a carrier channel and were tested and graded by TG on receipt. Black is the volume color, so this lot suits exporters buying tested touch phones in quantity for live-GSM markets and parts dealers who want working donors.
The Samsung Solstice SGH-A887 was AT&T's 2009 answer to the demand for a touchscreen phone without a smartphone plan: a 3.0-inch 240 x 400 display, TouchWiz widgets with one-touch Facebook, MySpace and Yahoo access, a landscape virtual QWERTY keyboard, a 2-megapixel camera with video, Bluetooth, microSD to 16 GB, a full HTML browser and 3G HSDPA with Video Share. It sold in black and purple.
TG Wireless carries the A887 new and as carrier returns for exporters supplying live 2G and 3G GSM markets, where a tested or sealed touch feature phone remains a prepaid counter item, and for collectors and prop houses. It has no US carrier use.

Condition: Carrier Returns
Carrier return units come back through a carrier channel and are tested and graded by TG on receipt. Expect a mix of open-box and lightly handled units; cosmetics and packaging are confirmed per lot by your account manager.
Network and compatibility
The Solstice A887 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.
