Samsung SGH-T349 Messaging Phone, New, T-Mobile branded, GSM unlocked
Brand new Samsung T349 Messaging Phone T-Mobile GSM Unlocked units, the 20-key half-QWERTY candybar in sealed T-Mobile packaging and SIM unlocked. Sealed stock of a 2009 texting phone is mostly bought by collectors and prop houses who want unused examples, and by exporters who sell boxed handsets in markets with live GSM service.
The Samsung SGH-T349 is a 2009 T-Mobile candybar built for texting: a 20-key partial QWERTY keypad with XT9 prediction, a dedicated messaging key, and a simplified circle menu. It adds a 1.3 MP camera, a music player with stereo Bluetooth, a microSD slot up to 4 GB, 50 MB of internal memory, and POP3/IMAP email, all on a 2G GSM radio with EDGE data.
Exporters buying for 2G markets, collector and prop buyers who want a half-QWERTY T-Mobile phone from the Sidekick era, and parts dealers are the TG Wireless customers for the T349. It does not activate on US carriers now.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The SGH-T349 is a 2G GSM phone with GPRS or EDGE data and no 3G, LTE, or VoLTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile switched off its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so this handset no longer gets voice or data service on any US network. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets with live GSM service, collectors, props, and parts.
Resale fit
- Export lots for regions where 2G GSM service is still live and a simple tested handset sells at a low ticket.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working T-Mobile feature phones from the late 2000s.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct handsets in a known color.
