Samsung T109 Green T-Mobile, Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished Samsung T109 in Green for T-Mobile, the entry-level speakerphone clamshell, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and tested. Green is the T109's signature color, so it is the unit prop houses and collectors of T-Mobile prepaid phones look for; exporters should plan on unlocking before use on live GSM networks abroad.
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: 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 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.
