Samsung Stratus C3050 Grey/black, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory Refurbished Samsung Stratus C3050 in Grey/black, GSM unlocked, reconditioned to close-to-new working order under TG's -RB SKU code. Confirm packaging with your account manager, since the listing does not state box contents for this grade. Prop houses and display buyers who need working sliders at the lowest cost take the refurbished lot.
The Samsung C3050, sold as the Stratus, is a 2009 quad-band GSM slider at the bottom of Samsung's range: a 2-inch 65k-color TFT screen, a VGA (0.3 MP) camera with 2x zoom, an MP3 player, FM radio, Bluetooth, a microSD slot, a WAP 2.0 browser, and Java games, rated by the source at up to 8 hours of talk time and 340 hours of standby. It is a 2G phone with no 3G and no Wi-Fi.
TG Wireless supplies it to exporters who sell boxed entry-level sliders into markets with live GSM service, to collector shops that want the three colors, and to prop and display buyers who need a small, recognizable feature phone in quantity.

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 C3050 is a quad-band 2G GSM phone with no 3G or LTE. All three US national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so this phone gets no service on a US carrier today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to countries where 2G GSM service is still live, collectors, film and TV props, display stock, and offline use of the MP3 player and FM radio.
Resale fit
- Export lots for markets with live 2G GSM service where an entry-level boxed slider still sells.
- Collector shops and enthusiasts who want the Stratus in grey, pink, and white.
- Film and TV prop houses that need period-correct budget feature phones.
- Display and training units for retailers.
