Samsung U430 Bluetooth Camera Verizon / Page Plus CDMA, Carrier Returns
Carrier-return Samsung U430 Bluetooth Camera flips for Verizon and Pageplus CDMA, listed by the source as A-stock returns with light cosmetic wear and TG testing on receipt. Prop houses take carrier returns for background and hero use because the cosmetics are close to retail, and parts buyers get complete units.
The Samsung SCH-U430 is a 2008 Verizon basic flip phone, the update to the SCH-U410: a compact 3.67 x 1.85 x 0.78 inch clamshell weighing 3.21 ounces, with a 2-inch 160 x 128 internal display, a 1-inch 96 x 96 external display, a VGA camera without flash, Bluetooth, speakerphone, voice dialing, a 500-contact phonebook, and a proprietary charger port with a 2.5 mm headset jack. It is a CDMA voice phone with no Wi-Fi or 3G data of note.
TG Wireless offers the U430 as carrier returns and factory refurbished to prop houses that need a Verizon-era flip, to collectors, 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.
Network and compatibility
The SCH-U430 is a CDMA phone with no GSM radio and no LTE. Verizon retired its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and Page Plus runs on Verizon, so the U430 cannot be activated for voice or text anywhere in the US today, and it has no SIM slot for export GSM use; see the network status line in the table for how each lot is listed. Realistic uses are film and TV props, collectors, display units, and parts.
Resale fit
- Film and TV prop houses that need a working Verizon flip phone from 2008.
- Collectors of Verizon CDMA-era Samsung handsets.
- Parts and display buyers.
