Samsung Blast SGH-T729, Factory Refurbished, T-Mobile branded, GSM unlocked
Factory Refurbished Samsung T729 Blast T-Mobile GSM Unlocked, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and SIM unlocked, with original battery, battery door, charger, user guide, and Samsung box per the old listing. Collector shops and prop houses that want a clean Blast, and exporters who want uniform cosmetics, pick this tier.
The Samsung Blast SGH-T729 is a 2007 T-Mobile slider with an unusual layout: large well-spaced keys on the front and a separate sliding QWERTY keypad underneath, both backlit. It carries a 1.3 MP camera with 4x zoom and video, an MP3 player with stereo Bluetooth 2.0, a microSD slot, instant messaging, and POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP email on a quad-band 2G GSM radio.
TG Wireless sells the Blast to exporters who want a QWERTY texting phone for 2G GSM markets, to collector and prop buyers, and to parts dealers. It does not activate on US carriers after the 2G and 3G retirements.

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 Blast SGH-T729 is a 2G GSM phone with GPRS or EDGE data and no 3G, LTE, or VoLTE. The source lists quad-band GSM. 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.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
