Description
Samsung SCH-U550, Factory Refurbished, CDMA
Samsung U550 RB: Factory Refurbished SCH-U550 CDMA handsets reconditioned to close-to-new working order, with carrier branding, color, and accessories confirmed per lot by your account manager. Parts dealers and prop departments that need a working late-2000s CDMA feature phone, rather than a service phone, are the buyers for this listing.
The Samsung U550 listing carries only the model number and the RB refurbished code, with no description. The SCH-U prefix places it in Samsung's CDMA feature-phone series sold through North American CDMA carriers in the late 2000s; it has no GSM radio and no LTE. Form factor, camera, and display are not stated in the listing and are left out rather than guessed.
TG Wireless offers it Factory Refurbished to collector shops, prop departments, and parts buyers. The CDMA networks it was built for are closed, so it cannot be activated and has no GSM export path.

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 SCH-U550 is a CDMA handset with no GSM radio, no LTE, and no VoLTE, and the CDMA networks it was built for have been shut down, so it cannot be activated on any US carrier today. Carrier branding is per listing; see the network status line in the table. There is no SIM slot and no export path to GSM markets, so realistic uses are collectors, film and TV props, parts, and display units.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working late-2000s CDMA handsets in the original color.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct carrier-branded phones.
- Parts and display units for repair benches, store fixtures, and training.
