Motorola MR 601 Motorola MicroTAC Flip Phone, GSM Vintage Retro Rare Mobile Phone Brick 1997 Spares Repairs

Motorola MR 601, Motorola MicroTAC Flip Phone GSM Vintage Retro Rare Mobile Phone, Brick.



The Motorola mr601 was released in 1997 as a re-branded Motorola MicroTAC International 8800 (Mc1-41a11) for exclusive use on the Orange network. The key feature of this mobile is that it was the first dual band GSM phone released in the UK, being able to operate on both the GSM900 and GSM1800 bands

Don't know if battery holds charge so sold as spares or repairs. Phone does power up when briefly tested with a charger but no sim card so can't test further.

Very good aesthetic condition. But selling for spares or repairs. There is also a pixel error on the screen please study the pictures provided. Not tested any further other than it is powering up ok. No GSM sim card present.


These phones can be unlocked where a sim adaptor is used which will make it possible to use on today's networks.


For illustration purposes one picture shows the type of Sim Card this phone originally came with. Credit card size.


Postage is additional to any offers made where you will not be collecting the item.


Thanks for looking.
