Samsung T429 GSM Unlocked, Carrier Returns
Carrier-return Samsung T429 sliders, GSM Unlocked, listed by the source as A-stock returns, meaning tested units with light cosmetic wear graded by TG on receipt. Unlocked A-stock returns suit exporters who want a slim GSM slider that works on any live 2G network without a carrier unlock, and prop houses that want a clean-looking period phone.
The Samsung SGH-T429 is a 2008 T-Mobile slider in the style of Samsung's D900 and T629: a slim slide-up design with an integrated camera, Bluetooth for headsets and car kits, speakerphone, predictive text, and instant messaging through Yahoo, MSN, AOL, and ICQ, plus T-Mobile Address Book backup and myFaves support. It is a tri-band GSM phone built as an affordable step up from the entry flips.
TG Wireless offers the T429 as carrier-return stock to export dealers serving live GSM markets, to prop houses that need a 2008 slider, and to parts and display buyers.

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 source lists original battery, battery door, charger, user guide, and Samsung box with this lot.
Network and compatibility
The SGH-T429 is a tri-band 2G GSM phone with no 3G or LTE. T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, and US 3G ended in 2022, so it has no US cellular service today; see the network status line in the table for the lock state of this lot. GSM unlocked units register on live 2G networks abroad, which with props, display, and parts is the realistic use.
Resale fit
- Export dealers supplying unlocked GSM sliders to markets where 2G service is still live.
