Sony Ericsson W380A Grey Walkman, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Here the Sony Ericsson W380a comes in Grey as a Factory Refurbished unit, GSM unlocked, reconditioned and tested but graded below new. Grey is the common finish, which suits exporters filling unlocked flip-phone orders for markets where GSM 850/1800/1900 service is still live, and prop houses that want a neutral 2008 handset.
The W380a is the Americas version of Sony Ericsson's 2008 W380 Walkman clamshell, a music-first flip with illuminated touch-sensitive music keys and a 128 x 36 OLED track display on the outside, and gesture control that mutes a call or snoozes the alarm when a hand passes over the closed phone. Inside are a 1.9-inch 176 x 220 screen, the Walkman 2.0 player with album art, FM radio, a 1.3 MP camera, stereo Bluetooth, and a Memory Stick Micro slot, on tri-band GSM with EDGE.
TG Wireless sells the W380a new and Factory Refurbished to collectors of the Walkman phone line, exporters serving live-GSM markets, and prop buyers who need a 2008 flip.

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 W380a is a 2G-only GSM phone on 850/1800/1900 MHz, with no 3G or LTE. T-Mobile retired the last US 2G network on August 3, 2026, and AT&T's 2G closed in 2017, so it has no US service in any lock state. The listing says GSM unlocked; see the network status line in the table. Where GSM 850, 1800, or 1900 is live abroad it works for calls, SMS, and EDGE data; 900 MHz is not supported, which limits some European networks. It also works offline as a music player.
