The Motorola Razr (2019) came out in 2019. Yes, it still works as a phone on most US carriers.

Key takeaways

The Motorola Razr (2019) still works on most US carriers.

It's stuck on Android 10.

Check the IMEI before switching carriers.

The quick answer

Calls and data: yes on most US carriers
Software: Android 10, no longer updated
Most apps still install, though fewer each year
Good as a backup or budget phone

Calls after the 3G shutdown

The first foldable Razr supports VoLTE and eSIM, and works on US carriers. Its folding screen is the weak point on a used one.

How to check yours

Find the IMEI: dial *#06#, or look in the phone's settings or under the battery.
Enter it in your carrier's compatibility checker. Every major carrier and most prepaid brands have one.
If it isn't supported, it's usually missing approval for VoLTE (calls over 4G), which every US phone now needs.

Who it still works for

Anyone who wants a capable phone for very little money, or a dependable spare.

If you're replacing it

A new moto g 2026 or Galaxy A17 costs little, gets years of updates, and several carriers give them away when you switch. Pair it with a low-cost plan such as Mint Mobile ($15 a month for 6GB on a 12-month term) or Visible ($25 for unlimited, taxes included).

Free phones when you switch

Current offers from Metro, T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T and Xfinity.
