Nokia 105 4G | Dual SIM | GSM Unlocked Mobile Phone | Volte | Charcoal | International Version | Not AT&T/Cricket/Verizon Compatible

Alright, first off, this is an awesome phone. There are pros and cons to this phone. At a price point of $40-30, you can't go wrong with this phone. Negatives include: -does not have the capability to view large to medium sized pictures. -does not have the capability to view videos (except gifs). -Internet is super slow, works best if forced to be with 2g and 3g rather than 4g, and works best with the following bookmarks: Hourly Forecast (TimeAndDate); 14 day forecast (i.e., 'sunrise/sunset') (TimeAndDate); HttpGoogle. -Push Messages in the Message Settings are best COMPLETELY DISABLED (i.e., "deselected 'Accept push,'" and "Service loading operation = Never). -Other negatives: The weather app doesn't work, so you are forced to use the web browser instead. When I had it shut down, the alarm went off two hours early for whatever reason, so that was super annoying and had me waking up extra tired for no reason. I don't know why the shut down version of the device's clock is two hours earlier than now. I don't even know how that makes any sense. -Other tips and tricks: Facebook is the secret way to access the internet while listening to music/radio at the same time. Short cut keys include: hold up arrow for flashlight, accept and end call keys, any arrow key, holding the star key, holding the zero key, and holding the hash key. It is recommended to set pin one and pin two in security settings (known by your carrier as 'PUK codes' (ask customer service for PUK 1 and PUK 2, and they should be able to give them to you), although this can actually backfire and cause you to disable it, when it comes time for the sim's update from its web servers. You are also able to set a screen lock also. -Messages are limited to a maximum of 200 messages (less if they are over like 160 characters each). So you either have to delete them or back them up every so often so that you can later make room for more messages. -One downside: calling phone numbers back can result in phone numbers being undialable. And that can be a real headache. And sometimes the only way to redial is using the home screen phone number pad and your short term memory of the phone number. -One upside: You can essentially text people just as fast as you would on your dumb phone as you would be able to on a smart phone. The technology is called, 'T9 dictionary'. You enable and disable it via the menu icon (left selection symbol "-") and the hash symbol #. Hold numbers on this screen for the number varients of numbers, and the 1 key is for accessing special characters (along with the star key). Hitting the end key will exit everything without saving, so make sure to experiment with the backspace key, and the left menu for added confidence overall when it comes to saving text messages (rather than deleting them). -Key wake feature keys for when the phone is on standby include: left menu action key '-', center select button, call end button, 0 key, and the hash # key. -The best feature about this phone is the price, so that if it gets destroyed or stolen, price is not the element of concern. Because people are always concerned about this. This phone is also great for people who don't use their phone often, or don't have many social contacts (due to the inability for anything much else than calling and texting through NANPA (although, if you know C programming, perhaps there is a way to hack into the phone I don't know of yet). -There are a lot of minor things that I didn't list here also. Such as: inability to receive cell phone coverage when in all metal buildings, and the fact that audio often plays through the attached earpiece through only one of the earbuds. -Another important note is battery life. Turning off cellular data can cause over a 2x increase in battery life. -And the essential short cut keys for managing user selection screens include: A. up and down arrows; B. left and right arrows; C. star and hash key. This is a complete user manual edition to how to use your dumb phone and the essential full review of the phone you should read BEFORE using your dumb phone.

I had forgotten how bad phones used to be until I began using this. The battery on this is horrible. It barely goes a full day and this is without use. It constantly has to be charged. The volume on it is horrible, I hate having to answer calls on it because I know I will not hear most of what the other person is saying. Random numbers have texted me and the messages won’t open so I have these “new” texts I can’t get rid of. I have no idea why or how these texts have occurred. Every 5 seconds it freezes up to “update SIM” which might be a Trello issue but it’s very annoying. It will do this in the middle of use and you have to press the arrow button to go back to use. Honestly I hate this thing and it makes me thank god iPhones exist because once upon a long time ago these are what we had to deal with. But even then I don’t remember my Nokia from 2002 being this bad. The only slightly interesting feature in my opinion is the radio feature. Such an odd and random thing to have on a phone. All in all if I didn’t need this thing I would choose to never use it. It mostly serves to remind me how far we’ve come because my god this phone is awful.

This works perfectly, especially if you want a phone with no camera. It's exactly what I was looking for. I also recommend this for your kids if they need something so basic and simple with just text and call features. If you need games to kill the battery life if they do anything else, it teaches them that it's not a toy. It's also good for elderly people who have no interest in anything else—just texting and calling, and being able to hear if it rings. However, the call volume is good or bad depending on your hearing. At least for those with hearing issues, this is not a fancy phone, and the price you pay for it is reasonable and good value for what it does. I have T-Mobile service, and my child is grounded from electronics, so it is exactly what I need for that purpose. There is little difficulty using it if you never used an old classic phone or are used to volume and buttons on the sides of the phone, but I grew up with this kind of classic phone, so there were no difficulties. But those who are used to buttons on the side, this one is all in the screen and uses the navigation pad. It's extremely generic and basic; it does not have much option control. For example, for volume settings, it has (silent), meeting (vibrate), normal (25%), indoor (50%), outdoor (100%). Connectivity works for the phone services I use ,it's T-MOBILE. The durability feels okay; I haven't done any drop tests, so I'm not sure. The screen size is okay. Battery life is long; if you use it just for texts and calls, it can last up to two weeks, unless you're texting and calling vividly and that's all you do 24/7, not giving it a chance to cool down or rest, it has no camera or side buttons; it is all controlled within the navigation button and using the screen including everything eles rember it's not a smart phone or touch screen.

I needed a phone to receive incoming SMS on a non-USA phone number/sim while roaming internationally in the US. This model fits the use case perfectly. Was plug and play out of the box. It comes with a micro usb charger and earphones. Got it for $35 which was the cheapest unlocked gsm phone on the market. Functionality- Connectivity seems good as network shows LTE. Brought back memories from simpler times before smart phones. It has radio Bluetooth calendar alarm games all the bells and whistles of a basic cell phone and some more like Facebook and browser. Phone is light weight plastic body tactile keys adjustable contrast and good brightness. Seems to be made by HMD under Nokia brand name. Is made in china. Phone quality is good for the price. Battery should be great as well as others have said and I have no doubts. You can play the radio without attaching the earphones. Speaker volume is quite loud for such a small device. I suggest checking the band information on hmd website to figure out whether the network you will be on will be supported by the phone or not. You need only one of the bands to be supported. Those looking for a cheap basic phone to only text and talk will find this phone of value. Update after one month of usage: battery life is a bit questionable. A week on only standby. No calls not data. Expected more than a week. Still okay I am Nitpicking now.

Exactly what you want out of a cheap feature phone. I haven't had this delight in using a tech product in years. It even has an FM radio built in! I often forget to charge it, but it doesn't care, battery lasts for days. Nice and small; remaining lightweight while still durable. I really, really hope companies like Nokia/HMD keep making devices like this.

I really like the phone and it works very well. Battery life is excellent- I charge it about once a week. Call quality is excellent, and it does everything I need very well (music, calls, text). However, I went for a bike ride and just sitting in my jersey pocket, my sweat caused moisture buildup which caused the phone to glitch. I am still trying to dry it out after two days. It turns on, but the screen is black. True, it is not labled as "water resistant", but I didn't expect it to be this fragile. I will most likely spend the extra $10 and get a "rugged" dumb phone from another company.

Just got this today and we love it!!!! We have a teenager who needed a phone due to starting a job, but we didn't want to give him smart phone yet and this is perfect literally does nothing but text and call. Plus ypu don't have to finance a crazy expensive phone when ypu can have something like this... such a good value. It's so easy for anyone to use. We haven't had time to test battery fully but so far it's been good. The sound and ringer works so well. The connection with our phone company worked so quickly all we needed was to remove Sim card from old phone and add to thos one. We will be testing durability over the next few months. Battery durability

Advertised to have voLTE... Terrible call connection. That is obviously a lie. Outdated text interface. I avoided making calls at all costs in the year I had this. Just get the 2780- its up to date and has voLTE.

Resistente y teclas visuales para adulto mayor

La batería no dura ni un día en stand by

Tiene muy buena claridad en el sonido. Tanto en recepción como en el envío de voz. Mi abuelo feliz pues podemos hablar cómodamente un buen rato.

Funciona a la perfección. Se escuchan bien las llamadas y recibe y manda sms como en los viejos tiempos. Yo le puse chip Movistar y jaló sin problema.

Funciona bien en lugares donde hay poca cobertura celular, lo uso en Oaxaca con compañías de Telcel y BAIC, mucho mejor que cualquier teléfono android
