Factory Refurbished Samsung T659, the T-Mobile 3G 2-megapixel GPS slider, reconditioned to close-to-new working order under the -RB SKU code. Confirm packaging with your account manager. Prop houses and display buyers who need a working period slider at a lower cost than the new lot take this grade.

TG Wireless supplies it new and Factory Refurbished to collector shops and enthusiasts who want T-Mobile sliders of the period, to prop houses, and to exporters serving markets where GSM or AWS 3G service is still live.

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 T659 is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS phone with no LTE. All three US national carriers retired 3G in 2022, including T-Mobile's AWS 1700/2100 network, and T-Mobile closed 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so this phone gets no US service today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. The units are T-Mobile branded. Realistic uses are export to markets with live GSM or UMTS service, collectors, props, and display stock.
Resale fit
- Collector shops and enthusiasts who want T-Mobile Samsung sliders from the 3G era.
- Film and TV prop houses that need period-correct 2010 carrier-branded phones.
- Export to markets where quad-band GSM or UMTS 2100 service is still live.
