The Sony Ericsson W810i came out in 2006. No: the W810i is a 2G phone, and US carriers have shut down 2G.
The quick answer
- Calls: no
- Software: Sony Ericsson's basic phone software
- Still works offline for some features
- Worth keeping as a collectible
Why it can't connect
The W810i only supports GSM 2G. AT&T ended 2G in 2017 and T-Mobile in 2025.
What still works
The Walkman music player still works with a Memory Stick Duo card, and the FM radio needs no service.
What it's worth
Working Walkman phones are popular with collectors. Check eBay sold listings.
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).
Current offers from Metro, T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T and Xfinity.
