Samsung Katalyst SGH-T739 WI-FI, New, T-Mobile / Simplemobile
Brand new Samsung T739 Katalyst WI-FI handsets boxed for T-Mobile / Simplemobile, sealed and untouched. New-in-box Katalyst stock goes to collectors and prop houses that want unused examples of T-Mobile's early Wi-Fi calling slider, and to exporters who sell boxed 2G phones in GSM markets.
Samsung's Katalyst SGH-T739 is a slim 2007 T-Mobile slider built for the carrier's HotSpot @Home service: it carries 802.11b/g Wi-Fi for UMA voice calls alongside quad-band GSM with EDGE. It adds a 1.3 MP camera with video, an MP3 player, a microSD slot, Bluetooth, speaker-independent voice recognition, and instant messaging clients, and supported myFaves plans.
TG Wireless sells the Katalyst new, refurbished, and as graded carrier returns to collectors interested in early Wi-Fi calling phones, to prop departments, to exporters for 2G GSM markets, and to parts dealers. It does not get US service today.

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 Katalyst SGH-T739 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. Its UMA Wi-Fi calling used T-Mobile's retired HotSpot @Home service.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working T-Mobile feature phones from the late 2000s.
- Export lots for regions where 2G GSM service is still live and a simple tested handset sells at a low ticket.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct handsets in a known color.
