Nokia105 Single SIM Mobile Phone (2017 Edition) - Black

The SIM is hard to put in properly and if you have poor eyesight. The phone is hard to open and that is something I found frustrating.The battery has an amazing life span and as such means hours of talk time. The interface is each to use and the buttons felt to me to be pretty well made.The call quality was crisp and clear and ringtone was loud.Obviously this is not a Smart Phone and has no browser or internet at all. It is back to basics, but it is for those that really are sick of the phones that drain the hell out of the battery and are hard to use.Defiantly something I would recommend, but not for people who love all the bells and whistles .

I bought this phone to replace a 15 year old Nokia that I liked but was getting more reluctant to recharge despite having a new battery and a new charger recently. I am happy with my current contract and wanted to retain the same number so the plan was buy a cheap phone and put the SIM card into it. For probably sound commercial reasons but unknown to me my old SIM did not fit and there were dire warnings in the instructions about fitting the wrong SIM into it. However, a trip to my local phone store fixed that. So it makes calls and I can send texts. That is all I really wanted. The scroll button is imprecise and leaves me stabbing at the back button but, no doubt, I'll get used to it eventually. The insert options in the predictive text had me baffled for a while but that another thing I'll get used to, they seem more cumbersome than the old phone but I was very familiar with that. The keypad lock takes some getting used to too. After being put on hold for a long time by the RAC I'm now fairly relaxed about the battery life. The volume settings are OK. So all in all a success without costing me too much. I can recommend this phone to anyone who wants a mobile that makes calls and texts and has a PC at home if they want to Google something. Oh yes and it has got a flashlight - well that was the real selling point for me.

This is a really good basic phone - the build quality feels good. It is plastic, not metal but it feels solid and the buttons are nice to press however they’re not very big IMO, neither is the writing and it doesn’t seem there’s a way to enlarge anything. The screen is not exactly big. The battery lasts longer, waaaaay longer than a smart phone. The radio is better than other basic phones I’ve used with automatic tuning and adjust features when the phone is locked.- it can play through headphones or loud speaker (with the headset connected). It has Snake but no other distracting features (some additional games Doodle Jump, Crossy Road, Tetris, Air Strike and Ninja Up are on their but they’re paid for at a couple of pounds per game after the 3 to 5 trial plays). The settings are good, I especially like the “Go To” quick menu which you can access from the home screen and customise the options yourself so it’s short cuts to things you want to use frequently like the radio or display settings. I can’t find a way to change the wallpaper but it’s fine, the design is ok. There’s no internet browser or camera but honestly they’d be so poor it would be pointless. My main issue with it is that I can’t find any setting to delete all texts in the inbox or sent box at once. Deleting them one by one is a bit annoying if you’re using this frequently but honestly I think that’s the absolute only thing I can fault with it. It even has a calendar so I’m really pleased with it for the price.

Phone looks and functions as expected.Warning: Charger does not have UK 3-pin plug, this should be clearly listed in the item description but is not!!

This is the third nokia 105 that I have owned, they seem to last about 5 to 6 years before they start to have faults, but that is ok considering the price, however this model is really tacky, cheap plastic cover and the touch sensitivity is really poor. the games on this in comparison to older models are awful, and when you look at the menue it seems that they have gone out of there way to cut corners. could do better and I would not mind paying a couple of quid more if they did.

The item came brand new as advertised. They also included an adaptor so I can charge the phone on 3-point plug. I am happy with the purchase. I had a bad experience with another company who sent me a used phone when advertised as new. Glad there is no repeat of the event. Easy to use and phone was delivered in a well-packed box.

This is a phone. It is not a internet device, it is not designed to keep you in touch with your online 'friends' nor to enable you to walk around your whole life with a device stuck to your ear.It rings people up - lets them ring you. It even tells the time and date and wakes me up in the morning with a subtle but persistant alarm (use 'urgent' tone). It keeps time well and the battery lasts bery well. It is small and actually fits in a normal pocket.If you want a phone and only a phone this is a good one
