Nokia 105 (2019 edition) 1.77-Inch UK SIM Free Feature Phone (Single SIM) – Black

For £14 it's a great little simple phone that my dad can use (he's in his 70s so need it to be basic and not a smart phone)

I have a smart phone but don’t always want to be carrying it around especially at weekends so I was looking for a basic dumb phone and chose this one. Pro’s Very compact and with basic functions, phone, calculator, touch, snake game, contacts and messages are what you get. Battery life is good for 2 to 3 days. The phone takes a full size SIM card It comes with a charger Con’s If the battery goes flat you lose time and date (contacts are not affected) and have to enter them again The navigation button is very sensitive Conclusion Overall I am happy with the phone , it does what I want which is the main thing for me.

Really Poor, Its the second time I've tried these phones, the quality is shocking.. Right from the off its Feels cheap and tacky and it doesn't improve from there.. If you coming off a Tech detox its terrible. It keeps locking up, the Software just trips over its self and the only way to deal with it is to remove the battery and restarting. There is very little memory, even for text messages.. you can optomisitically get 12 texts before you have to delete, and you have to time it right, because if you get a text or try to delete it too quickly.. thats right it locks up. I realise we have been spoilt over the last 10-15 years but I dont remember these sort of phones being that bad. Even the battery life is really bad.. barely 2 days, with occasional use. 6 hours with a phone call (which was terrible quality btw). Avoid seriously... I don't normally like giving negative views.. but this was one of the few exceptions... and due to the price its not even worth claiming a refund.

My monthly mobile usage typically amounts to sending a dozen texts and receiving debit card authorization codes for the occasional online purchase. I therefore have no need for (or desire to get) a smartphone, so when my trusty Nokia 2330 recently packed up, I bought this simple model as a replacement. The Nokia 105 is sleek, but sturdy and does the basics really well. Call quality is good, as is the texting function, but what impressed me the most is how energy efficient this handset is, with a full charge lasting well over a week (though I do switch the phone off at night and at work). The menu is very easy to navigate and there is one free game (Snake), a radio and a torch. I have reluctantly deducted one star due to a couple of minor issues. Firstly, the small menu button is quite fiddly and sensitive, which might be problematic for those with large fingers or shaky hands. In addition, when sending texts, only the number of the intended recipient is displayed on the confirmation screen, so extra care and concentration are required here. However, the Nokia 105 is still a quality mobile that is ideal for anyone who wants a basic pay-as-you-go phone without all the excessive (and in many cases, unnecessary) extras associated with smartphones. Recommended. P.S. This phone takes a full size sim card.

It was great

I bought this for a "digital detox" as like many others I'm sick of how my smartphone seems to have invaded every minute of my life. So far it has performed its purpose but there's a few issues with it that make it difficult to use, although this could be a good thing if you're trying to keep off your phone! The good: it does nothing really except send and receive calls and text messages. There is a useful but not bright LED torch. It also has an alarm clock, a calendar of sorts, an FM radio, and some rubbish games. No data, no apps. Perfect for a digital detox. Call quality seems acceptable. Battery life is very good compared to modern smartphones - easily lasts several days between charges but it does take a hammering if you use it for long phone calls. The software or user interface is mostly ok and largely mimics the old Nokia phones in the way it operates so if you're of a certain age it may feel very familiar. The bad: the build quality is poor, it feels light and plasticy and nothing like how you will recall a proper Nokia handset from 10 or 20 years ago felt. The keypad is spongy and the 5-way menu key is really bad as it lacks any way to tell which of the 5 directions you are pressing it. The really big let-down is how bad it is to type on. The spongy keys are dreadful and the implementation of the T9 typing/dictionary is really half-baked - there is no automatic capitalisation and there is no facility to make it learn new words so typing is a tedious drag even if you used to be a T9 keyboard ninja like me. Overall, it's ok for my purposes. But some improvements to the build quality and software while keeping the same basic functionality (and not adding more things) would make this a really attractive phone.

Not used yet, bought as a possible gift., Quite small keys best used with a dibber than fingers.

good product and delivery, not in use yet so
