Samsung T109 Green T-Mobile, Carrier Returns
Samsung T109 in Green for T-Mobile, the basic clamshell with speakerphone and instant messaging, sold as carrier returns, handsets that came back through a carrier channel and were tested and graded by TG on receipt. The old description lists original battery, battery door, charger, user guide and Samsung box with each unit. Exporters who need unlockable GSM flips in volume and prop houses are the buyers.
The Samsung T109 is a basic T-Mobile clamshell from 2008 built for calling and texting: an integrated speakerphone, text and multimedia messaging, Yahoo and AIM instant messaging, a web browser, photo caller ID, speed dial, alarm clock, calendar and calculator, with downloadable ringtones, games and screen savers. It was one of T-Mobile's lowest-priced prepaid flips.
TG Wireless lists the green T109 as carrier returns and factory refurbished for exporters who assemble lots of simple GSM flips for live-2G markets, for prop houses and for collectors of T-Mobile prepaid handsets. The carrier-return listing ships with original battery, battery door, charger, user guide and Samsung box per the old description.

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. Old description lists original battery, battery door, original charger, user guide and Samsung box.
Network and compatibility
The T109 is a 2G GSM phone with no 3G, LTE or VoLTE. US 3G was retired in 2022 and T-Mobile, the last US 2G GSM network, shut it down on August 3, 2026, so it gets no service on any US carrier whatever its lock state. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. It remains useful for export to markets with live 2G GSM networks, for collectors and prop houses, and as parts or display units.
Resale fit
- Exporters assembling lots of basic GSM phones for markets with live 2G networks; T-Mobile-locked units need unlocking first.
- Prop houses and set dressers for 2000s scenes.
- Collectors of T-Mobile-era Samsung handsets and parts dealers.
