Description
Samsung T329 Stripe Silver, Carrier Returns, GSM unlocked
Silver Samsung T329 Stripe, GSM Unlocked, supplied as Carrier Returns: units that came back through a carrier channel and are tested and graded by TG when received. The silver finish shows wear less than black, which makes this lot a practical choice for exporters and marketplace sellers abroad who resell basic 2G sliders individually.
The Samsung T329 Stripe is a lightweight T-Mobile slider feature phone from 2008. It carries a VGA 640 x 480 camera with 4x digital zoom, Bluetooth for headsets, a speakerphone, picture caller ID, MIDI and MP3 ringers, instant messaging through AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, and MSN, and built-in games, calculator, alarm, and calendar. It is a 2G GSM handset with no 3G.
TG Wireless sells the Stripe to exporters who supply basic sliders to 2G GSM markets, to collector shops that want T-Mobile-era Samsung sliders in black and silver, and to prop and display buyers. T-Mobile's 2G shutdown in August 2026 ended its US network life, so domestic activation is not a use case.

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. The listing states the original battery, battery door, charger, user guide, and Samsung box.
Network and compatibility
The T329 Stripe is a 2G GSM-only phone, so it gets no service on any US carrier: T-Mobile retired 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, the 3G networks it never had were retired in 2022, and it has no LTE. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Abroad, it works on surviving 2G GSM networks, which is where exporters place it, and the camera, Bluetooth, and offline tools function without a SIM.
Resale fit
- Export to 2G GSM markets where a slim Samsung slider still sells as a basic voice and text phone.
- Collectors and enthusiasts of T-Mobile-era Samsung sliders in black and silver.
- Film, TV, and theater props that need a 2008 slider that powers on.
- Repair shops stocking donor units for slider mechanisms and keypads.
