Will it make calls in Canada?
Short answer: most phones from before 2012 will not. Here is why, and what they are still great for.
2G
Switched off
Canada's GSM and CDMA networks are gone. Phones that only speak 2G cannot register anywhere in the country.
3G
Being retired
Canadian carriers are shutting down 3G to free spectrum for newer networks. Do not rely on it for calls.
4G
Needed for calls
Voice now runs over LTE (VoLTE). A phone needs 4G and VoLTE approved for Canadian carriers to make calls.
5G
Data on top
5G adds speed for smartphones. Basic phones do not need it; 4G VoLTE is enough for calls and texts.
Offline, they still shine
Snake, alarms, cameras, Walkman playback, Bluetooth and the satisfying click of a real keypad all work without a network.
Not a daily phone
Original 2G and 3G handsets cannot hold a SIM connection in Canada now. Every listing says so up front, before you reserve.
Three grades, no surprises
Grade describes looks. Every grade works the same; we do not sell faulty phones.
Grade A: Like new
No visible marks at arm's length. Fresh or near-new battery, clean screen, tight hinge or slide.
+$40 on the base price
Grade B: Light wear
Fine scratches on the casing, a clear screen and a battery that holds a full day of standby.
+$20 on the base price
Grade C: Well loved
Scuffs and paint wear you can see. Fully working and tested; the cheapest way in.

Can I make calls on an old Nokia 3310 in Canada?
Not on the original 2000 model. It only supports 2G, and 2G networks have been switched off in Canada. It still powers on, plays Snake, keeps time and works as an alarm, so it makes a great collector piece or gift. For everyday calls in Canada you need a phone with 4G LTE and VoLTE.
What does “Offline collector” mean?
The phone is fully tested and works as a device, but its radio cannot connect to current Canadian networks. Cameras, music players, games, alarms and Bluetooth still work where the model has them.
Are the batteries new?
Every grade A phone ships with a new or near-new battery. Grades B and C ship with a battery that passed our standby and charge test. Replacement batteries are available on request.
Do you ship across Canada?
Yes, to every province and territory. Shipping cost and timing are confirmed by email with your reservation, before you pay anything.
How does reserving work?
Pick a phone and a grade, send the form, and we hold that unit for 48 hours. We email photos of the exact phone and a payment link. No payment is taken through this site.
Can I return a phone?
Yes. If the phone does not match its grade or develops a fault within 30 days, send it back for a repair, replacement or refund.
