The Nokia 100 is designed as a hardy and reliable phone for texting and calling. It’s also packed with loads of features that’ll help you in your day to day life.

Durable and affordable.

The Nokia 100 is a phone that’s ideal for your everyday life – it’s small, light and durable too, so you can take it anywhere. With an outstanding battery life, conversations flow, and it’s the most affordable colour display phone from Nokia yet.

Simple and easy to use.

Whether you use your phone for calls or texting, the Nokia 100 is designed to make it easy to do both. The phone’s shape fits snuggly in your hand, while the textured high quality polymer offers extra grip. The keys are large and well separated making texting quick, easy and accurate. And with the latest S30 user interface, getting around the menus is super simple.

Tools for everyday life.

The Nokia 100 has some great features for helping you out when you’re on the go. Things like a built-in torch that can be activated at the touch of a button, a calendar to help you manage your busy timetable, and a speaking alarm clock to make sure you’re always on time.

Practical features.

Nokia phones are always practical, and the Nokia 100 is no different. The on board 500 entry phonebook lets you set your own groups and a cool filter feature lets you find the contact you need. There’s also an integrated hands free speaker, and a power save mode that boosts your standby time in case you’re caught without a charge point.

Music on the go.

No matter where you are, you can listen to your favourite radio stations with the FM radio on your Nokia 100. You can use the integrated speaker to share your tunes with your friends, or plug in the stereo headset that comes in the box.

Personalise it.

A phone is a personal item, so why not personalise it? The Nokia 100 comes in a variety of colours so you can pick the one you like best. You can also pick your own MP3 grade ringtone, set up a full screen animated screensaver and grab some games to keep you entertained when commuting.

If you’re looking for an affordable and tough mobile that excels at calling, texting and being practical, look no further than the Nokia 100.

I need a basic phone that is simple to set up and use occasionally. This fits the bill perfectly. A nice looking little phone with everything I need. If you don't need the frills and want fantastic value for money, this is the phone for you.

Review 3 for Nokia 100
easy peasy phone
rugbygirl

,16 May 2013
If you want a simple to use mobile phone look no further. The only snag I had, and manufacturers please take note, was getting the back off to get the battery and sim card in. I had to take it to the shop to get the assistant to do it, and he agreed that they weren't easy to remove! So as long as I never need to take the back off again I'm delighted with it.

Excellent Battery Life
Tux
from London
,14 May 2013
This is a basic phone but does what it needs to. I bought it to take to festivals as the smartphones run out of juice so quickly. It is just the thing if you only need to text and call. I have had it a week and a half now and there are still 3 bars of battery left!
Very happy with this phone and recommend to anyone who needs a long battery time.
After the festival season I am going to keep this in my car as an emergency phone.

I knew that this phone was for calling and texting, and for £4.95 it is a real bargain. I phoned Virgin who I have £10 credit for and they were much more helpful than my current network provider 3. I now have a phone for when my 3 account runs out and hope to purchase a virgin sim card.

nokia 100 dissapointed
polly
from chester
,11 May 2013
unfortunately I have been unable to open the back to put the sim card in, so I am unable to comment on its performance and am having to return it without having used it.
On the plus side it was delivered the next day, and looks quite good.

I bought this 'phone for my elderly father to use 'in an emergency'... It is simple to use with clear instructions...and the fact that he only has to use the 'phone every six months is a bonus!
The website provided an excellent shopping and delivery service.

Bought phone as 'Granny in glovebox' type. Perfect! Needed to fiddle SIM fraction of millimetre down to ensure contact, but other than that no problems. Lightweight and clear to see screen.

Easy Peasy
aeg
from stevenage herts
,10 May 2013
Bought this model as a first phone for my 10 year old daughter in readiness for when she walks to senior school on her own.
It is lightweight, simple to use and has an incredible battery life.
She loves it because its pink.
I love it because it was cheap to buy, PAYG, and uncomplicated for her to use.

Got this as a river phone for kayaking due to its incredible battery life and its easy to use interface. It's small enough to fit inside a little waterproof pouch to stash in my buoyancy aid, and loud enough to hear it ring.
Overall an great purchase.

Review 15 for Nokia 100
Simples!
Retiree
from St Albans
,01 May 2013
It is an absolutely basic phone. Makes and receives calls and texts. Standby for a week without a recharge. Easy to use, and small enough to stuff in a pocket or bag.
The flashlight is an unexpected bonus, but it is devoid of any other clutter. If you want a plain vanilla phone, this one fits the bill.
Ordered from CPW on Sunday afternoon... delivered Monday morning!

Good emergency phone
Hazelbagel
from Manchester
,01 May 2013
I bought this for my daughter who has just passed her test, so that she has an emergency phone in her car (she regularly forgets to charge her smartphone). We will also be using it when we are on holiday with an orange payg sim for the country we are visiting.
Good basic and reliable phone.
