Nokia105 (4th Edition) all carriers 1.77 Inch UK SIM Free Feature Phone (Single SIM) – Black

Great simple phone, bought for an elderly neighbour on his own who has no landline or internet. Had an issue with 1st phone but had fantastic service from seller, great communication, managed to get a replacement very quickly. Elderly man is happy. I would definitely recommend this seller and would buy from them again

Very pleased, not had any problems setting it up or since. 😊

At first you'd be forgiven if what you were ordering was a quality Nokia product, but despite how simple the phone is, Nokia get the design wrong in every conceivable manner. Where to begin?The navigation pad in the middle of the phone is over-sensitive, flimsy, and small, often misinterpreting inputs, such as pressing up as meaning 'okay' or moving left when you try to accept or read something. This makes navigating the menu and trying to read text messages an unpleasant experience.The worst part is the pad controls the torch by pressing up, and is very easy to accidentally activate the torch just trying to press centre to go to the menu. This means hassle in turning off the torch. For some reason, rather than mapping the right button to something sensible like operating the torch or messages, it is bizarrely set to 'alarm', because apparently an alarm clock is more important than 'contacts', 'messages' or even the torch? There doesn't appear to be a way to re-map this button's usage either.The tiny size and over-sensitive nature of the pad make it a terrible choice for older people, especially if they have any hand tremors or difficulty with small buttons and is not recommended for seniors looking for a simple button control system.Text messaging doesn't seem to allow manual text typing and instead forces you to experience it's unpleasant real-time autocomplete by default. It's possible to disable this for one session, but you will have to disable it *every time* you go to write a text or edit a text message.The "ganes" the phone claims to have are actually only one game - Snake - and the other ones (Air Strike, Sky Gift, Tetris, Nitro Racing, Ninja Up) all clog up menu space - blocking access to the options menu - demanding a whopping rip-off of £5 EACH to buy. For comparison, smartphone games are either free, ad-based or cost something like 0.99p each. Apparently Nokia actually thought that people would pay money for outdated games to play using their terrible pad control system. There's no option to remove the unwanted non-games either.The bad design doesn't end there either; if you've plugged in a headset or the charge cable and wanted to remove the back cover - you can't. For some reason, the ports are inset inside the battery cover, so the plugged in cables literally block removal of the cover until they are unplugged. The fix for that would have been surprisingly easy - cutting out the holes to make them open-ended so it slides past the plugged in cables.The phone, unusually, requires a full sized SIM card and not a micro or mini SIM card that has become more prevalent.The phone is incredibly slow, almost unresponsive, on powering up - taking 5 to 10 seconds to even show a lit screen, sometimes requiring multiple extended presses for anything to happen, and you wouldn't be blamed if you thought the phone was defective.The only thing that stands up to scrutiny is the battery, which does indeed last days, but a battery doesn't give Nokia much room to screw up, so it's not surprising it's the only thing that works as intended.Recommend to avoid!

I bought this smartphone for my 11 year old for going to secondary school on the bus. I wanted him to be able to stay in touch with me in case he got lost or delayed, without all the smartphone features that are so potentially addictive and dangerous for kids. This one seemed perfect and the price point even more so! If it gets lost it's not such an issue (bearing in mind phones and devices are more likely to get lost with absent minded kids).All in all it's a great value brick phone; the turquoise colour is good for not getting lost and being visible in the depths of your back, and it's small and light enough to fit in your bag or pocket without weighing you down (or your kid's already heavy school bag).The interface is fine; most of us probably remember it from our pre-smartphone days. There's the classic game "Snake" to pass the time when bored on the bus, and you can text and so on. Obviously there's no internet but I didn't want that for my child.One small annoyance: there are a few other basic games like Tetris but you have to pay to get the full game, which I thought was a bit of a rip off!This is a bit of an idiot-proof device for anyone who is a technophobe - and easy to learn. All in all good value and a decent option for anyone looking to stay smartphone free for longer - or to purchase a basic phone that won't break easily, won't matter if it gets lost and won't get your child addicted to the internet and apps. Worth it!

It’s a phone, like wot you had in the 90’s innit?Huge battery life, no internet or that stuff. It makes calls, rings loud and you can play “Snake” on it in the bar 😀

Stopped working after 3 months

Quality phone

We bought this phone to receive calls for an electric gate. A little difficult to get the back off and put the tiny SIM card in but easy to put the back on thereafter. The phone buttons are small and easy to press the wrong thing but at its price it’s hard to grumble. Phone call quality is good. Interesting to be able to have dual SIMs but haven’t used that facility as it is only for the gate calls. The phone is plastic and the colour bright enough not to loose it!
