Samsung T219 Red T-Mobile / Simplemobile, Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished Samsung T219 in Red for T-Mobile / Simplemobile, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and tested, carried under the T-Mobile branded SKU. Refurbished red flips are what collectors and set dressers buy when sealed stock is more than the job needs; exporters add an unlock step before use abroad.
The Samsung SGH-T219 was one of the smallest and lightest flip phones T-Mobile sold in 2007, the successor to Samsung's earlier entry-level flip, with a loud speakerphone, extra-long battery life, internal and external color LCDs, text and instant messaging, MP3 ringtones, downloadable Java games and t-zones themes and wallpapers. It came in red and brown and was sold on T-Mobile prepaid and SimpleMobile.
TG Wireless offers the T219 new and factory refurbished in both colors for exporters supplying live-2G GSM markets with pocket-size flips, for prop houses that need period handsets in color, and for collectors. Lock state varies by listing between GSM unlocked and T-Mobile branded.

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 T219 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.
