Nokia 101 - User Reviews

  • my mobile nokia 101 can not receive or deliver any cal from any number...only text messages are delivered and received .. plz tell me solution of this problem....

  • 5-year-old 101 took a swim today with the laundry. That's over an hour, with detergent and tumbling! The phone still comes alive after a minimal drying time! Tries to recognize the SIM cards, but can't. That fault may lie with the cards, and not the phone, though. The screen works, although looks a bit cloudy at the moment. The keyboard works fine. Will continue drying and try a new SIM card later. Apparently the 3310 is not the only indestructible Nokia phone! It's a pity they don't make these any more.

  • Nokia 101

  • Yes you can backup your agenda even if it's full 500. You just need a SIM card. Insert it into the phone, copy 250 contacts from phone to SIM, move the SIM to your new phone, move them to the new phone, re-enter the SIM card into the Nokia 101, copy the remaining 250 contacts, move the SIM card again to your new phone, move the other 250 contacts to the new phone and you are done. IS very easy to do and won't take you more than 15 minutes maximum.

  • Hi All, This type of mobile available in market ? If yes please tell me.

  • I am using Nokia-101 Dual SIM since one year, This phone has a problem of frequently going off network in the middle of a conversation. I have bought another peace, but same problem is there.

  • how i can record calls... becoz no any option is available

  • I recently bought SD card Kingston 8 GB class 4 for this phone but it does not play songs to the end, it will stop playing after playing it for some time, so it is impossible to use it as a mp3 player and this is the reason why i bought SD card. I am sure that it's not the SD card problem. Please advice.

  • is it a sound lowering set?

  • Why Sim 2 not working when i insert a Sim that alloways showing emergency ,but sim 1 worked correctly ,please help me.

  • i have the same issue.. while i am using a one sim.. others is not working.. that's mean this is not dual-standby.. i hv another samsung dual sim phone. but thr isnt this issue..

  • The phone is great, except the call sound quality... Anywhere a bit noisy it becomes quite impossible to hear anything. Other than that, a great handset, long battery life (will last for a week if used normally), simple and useful, does what it has to. Flashlight is priceless!

  • is it dual stand-by?

  • what a joke

  • nokia 101 ,now i am using, but one problem,in one place i cannot access the wifi conection when the wifi select walan on the net connection also seccured but the youtube open time the code shown 006 server cannot reach,but my friend have same phone that phone can getting the youtube,how i can rectify,my email id is [email protected],please expect your reply inthe problem

  • U can adjust the same

  • Yes

  • Hai the security code should be 5digits minimum. but u r using only 4digits thats why it denied. default code is 12345

  • speaker volume gadually decreases.. we are unable to hear what others say... sound problem... this is the only problem......

  • in call setting what is the use of No. screening, immediate response is highly appreciated

  • in what settings could i block such incoming call and incoming text messages? My previous phone is very cheap made in the philippines but i can block any phone numbers that i want to block or put in the black list. thank you for immediate reply.

  • Every thing is alright except call hearing quality. I think this is a common feature of a mobile. We buy phones for talking purpose, but by this phone it is not possible. I highly request you to don't buy this phone.

  • its good for official use

  • Some SMS can not be displayed

  • very bad sound.

  • Some SMS can not be displayed. It it is important SMS then we lost some information.

  • its a nice phone butt one drawback is it has voice leeking probloms

  • in each and every dual sim phone it will be the same.

  • It is impossible to receive calls for both SIM cards in a dual sim mobile unless this one has forwarding call option enabled, for some of them that is called "smart dual sim". What you can do for Nokia 101 is enable call forwarding from SIM 1 to SIM 2 if unreachable and do the same from SIM 2 to SIM 1. This way when you make call using SIM 1 the second one will be unreachable, if someone call you on sim 2 the call will be forwarded automatically to SIM 1 and you get a waiting call. Note that additional fee can be applied if you answer to that forwarded call, you don't have to answer but the good thing is that you will not miss it. It works for almost all dual sim mobile. The shortcut to forward call if unreachable is: **62*phone number# To cancel all forwards: ##002# Hope it helps Cheers

  • When you have call on one SIM, other SIM is out of range. On that other SIM you can not have call and you can not receive a message while you are talking on the first one. And on this phone you can not change it. Phone does not support that option because is dual-SIM stand-by. That means, both SIMs are ONLY available while the phone is on stand by

  • If m attending call on Sim1 the other sim becomes unresponsive. is there any settings in the mobile to keep on both Sim's while attending call?

  • Can I use this in Vietnam and Hong Kong? Posted Jan 2014 for travel in Feb 2014.. thanks

  • Is this Phone can swap the SMS memory to SD card? or its just using the PHONE MEMORY for the messages?

  • Torch light is good. But some SMSs can not be displayed. Can not delete a mp3 song. We need to flip phone while keeping near ear(loud speaker side), then other can see the display and the calling number. Other features are good

  • Mini sim = Regular sized sim (the standard size sim)

  • Low price best quality feacters are exlent

  • What is mini sim?

  • How can I connect the con call

  • Top draw basic dual sim phone. Battery life brill. Don't bother with the music stuff just text and calling! 10 out of 10. My other phone is an iPhone for 3G stuff but this is what I call a steady eddy. Simple long last battery fone and of course dual sim which no smartphone has without buying those silly strips!!

  • Actually the mini sim is correct, it is just that it has been in use so long here that most people call it standard sim, but the real standard sim was what came out in early digital phones and was credit card size, same as what most sims are set in, when you first receive them, you pop out the mini sim, and some have the micro sim within the mini sim . Had same discussion with a vodafone sales person who insisted that mini sim was really standard until her co worker said that she remembered the bigger card, lol i even showed her one. As for the phone, its very good basic phone, i only wish it has 3G but i use it as a daily phone, only taking sim out when i need to go somewhere and i need internet access then i use my smart phone.

  • JimmyJame, it is a mini SIM, which is incorrectly referred to as a (standard) SIM in Australia. Other SIMs in Australia are micro & nano SIM.

  • For next song u have to just press 8, and for last u have press 2 no. button when music on.

  • Sim card is Full Size not mini. Might be different in other countries not Australia

  • how can i know my battery sl no ? Is there any procedure? My battery has been changed by someone. And mob got dead while makin a call.

  • Currently i am Using a 8 GB GSkill Class 6 Memory card with this mobile, And I am planning to upgrade, can anyone who is using confirm whether this mobile supports 32GB Class 6 or 10 memory Cards.Thanks

  • How I record the call

  • in this phone have one problem we cant forward to music... may be i dont know how to do this if have this system\then pls reply me so i know.........

  • This Phone has the power to kickass every low-end Chinese phone products in my country Indonesia. It's durable standby battery life, dual sim, and satisfied service makes me proud to choose again the comeback of Nokia phone. Thanks.

  • Hi dear, it has a draft where your messages can be save and also for your music player, you can next and even go back to the previous song. The phone is nice, i was using it before it got missing and i will love to get a new one, i like it, its portable and most of it all dual SIM.

  • How to call recording Nokia 101?

  • it's so good man, ive been usin it for years and it doesnt lag, i bought it for just like 20 bucks it has snake for a game.

  • I am using this phone for past 3 months and it is troubling me by lagging and hangs while I m connected on a call and I have to restart for smooth functioning very frequently. Plz stop admiring NOKIA. It has turned into a china made device. Not a single phone of NOKIA giving good results.

  • Does Nokia 101 support making conference calls??

  • Plz check your call limit settings. Possibly you could have enabled it accidentally.

  • I have bought this handset recently and this is a proper set for students.

  • I have been using this phone for about a year now. I can tell that it's an ideal device for those who only use phones for phone calls (i.e. don't need to take pictures or any other features). The sound quality is good. No problems with reading the memory card (I have added 2 GB micro SD card). However, if you have removed the SD card, you need to re-set the ringtone if it was one of the tracks on the SD card. No hangs. You can memorize fast the place of each button (which is an important thing to me), thanks to the buttons design. I am a heavy user. I even throw my mobile some times, and nothing happens. That's all for now.

  • go to setting..call/phone setting...call limit option..ple off...and solve u'r problem

  • This phone is great Flash light more than handy Battery life good Durable, it survived with me many drops Good Mp3 + FM radio Easy Texting Good coverage games are lame There is no way to backup txts from the phone you need to write them out manually, which bites because it doesn't have a big sms capacity For the price its an excellent phone

  • Why does the battery of Nokia 101 doesn't contain hologram to identify if the battery is really original? My Nokia 101 gets battery empty easily within 2 days without heavy usage.

Dual sims are not calling at same time) This mobile doesn't support dual stand-by.

  • its a good phone in cheap

  • Does this phone have the option to divert calls / forward incoming calls to another number? Thanks in advance

  • what about 101's speaker??

  • This is goog phone......wanderful....

  • network always fluctuating and sound is clear while talking phone, we have to use loudspeaker to here.

  • friends how is incoming call loudspeaker anyone tell me

  • Obviously 'Call History Records'

  • i am from kolkata.i want to buy 101 handset but in the market,it's not found......

  • This phone has voice leakage especially when dialling (but we can turn the sound off by pressing loudspeaker button ). There are some good points as the following: 1, It is dual sim mobile phone (dual standby) 2, It's price is very reasonable, light weight, solid and has flashlight. 3, It has black list (to stop unwanted call and sms) 4, Signal strengh is good 5, Phone has scheduled sms , speaking clock and supports many languages ( write and read), we can use T9 by texting.Its battery back up is good. 6, No internet * This Nokia 101 is value for money.Even i use the new phone (Nokia 206 )but i still remember it.

  • can any one tell me call records function is that voice record or call history records

  • It is good. Basic phone. best quality for our price

  • The Phone sucks. I can't make calls for long and it is very annoying.

  • As on today I feel INTEX Nano S is better priced and useful than this product.

  • i love this mibile hahahahahahahahhahhahaahahahhahahahhahahahahahah­ah:P

  • For the price, it's a very good basic phone. With dual sim capability and MP3, plus a fairly audible speaker and functions maneuverability, it is a good deal.

  • this is a very very bad mbl.speker prblm,msg chating prblm and all most many default in this mbl.you do not purchaseb it you want to purchase mbl you got x1.01. x1.01 is very good mobile.

  • call record : no

  • The Nokia 101 has got Dual-SIM-Support, it features a MP3-Player and it has got a MicroSD-Slot (up to 16GB). This is the difference to the Nokia 100 (single-SIM, no MP3-Player, no MicroSD-Slot).

  • why lke this?what to do?

  • sound problem its not good in speaker calling problem it is not heard

  • I just want to know that whether this phone good or not... good in sound, music, calling facilities like that i am asking good or not. please reply me .....

  • Can't open it up to put the battery in.

  • Can't open it up to put the battery in.

  • I have the problem. If you know. share with me.

  • This is basicly the same as the nokia 100. It has absolutely outstanding battery life lasting 3 weeks moderate use easily. It looks a lot like a nokia 100 and doesnt seem to be that upgraded. This is also very robust perhaps even more than the nokia 100. It seems to be totally indestructable from accidental falls/ drops and even survived with no damage after falling into a sink full of water. Although I did dry it very quickly. I am a bit dissapointed that it is not much more than a slightly more posh looking nokia 100 which no additional features at all really that I could find.

  • Nokia 101 is very nice phone in cheapest price

  • sound problem its not good in speaker calling problem it is not heard

  • The phone software is very stupid. For example, I can dial the number that just called me only after: (1) pressing "menu"; (2) pressing two times the navigation button to move right twice; (3) pressing once the nav. button down to select "Received calls"; (4) pressing "select"; (5) pressing the green headset button; (6) pressing it once more to choose the SIM card to use (it is dual-SIM model). Proposed punishment for software designers: to use their own phone software (only) for a period of 10 years! :D

  • I agree with Khan that one of our phone too have sound problem.

  • The Best mobile from Nokia in the lower price range Dual Sim Torch Memory Card MP3 player What more do u want??? Only missing is blue tooth....

  • This is nokia's worst mobile.I have never experiance this tipe third class product from nokia before it. Main problem is network problem and second one is sound problem.

  • Evry phn hv som own qualty.thn whu cn we say tht phn is nt cud.Its dipand at ur thinking.

  • It has only two suggesions... One Change your Boy friend or Change your SIM.

  • i thought it will perform well.but it has low voice quality,can't use distribution list, fails many times. voice leakage,uncomfortably with mp3 player options. only a single song is able to be used as ring tone rather songs in memory card.whenever placing the mobile on a surface a mild shake occurs in front speaker. back shutter not able to hold its position, often opens. i found this all with in 10 days

  • this phone has built in vibrator for sexy time. Also dual sim for wife and mistress. Torch good for looking for vagine. this phone will be my girlfriend.

  • Just bought this phone for 40$ and it is worth the money. Mp3 works great, has a nice design, simple interface, flashlight. Probably has 10 functions more that i will ever use.

  • can u plz tel me how to open memory card in nokia 101 handset?

  • better to buy samsung guru music in 1600 with bluetooth n browser support

  • You must have accidentally added it to your mobile's screening list. Once you remove it, your problem will be solved. To open SMS screening list - Menu > Messages > Message settings > No. screening - and here remove all the numbers.

  • give me ur number i ll send the SMS

  • Did you give him the right number? ;)

  • why my phone can't receive a text message from my boyfriend's number only?? HELP ME PLEASE! -_-

  • Battery backup is very poor...Never buy this phone. Nokia service centre doesn't provide proper service.

  • The loudspeaker switches on automatically when recieving call. Dual sim not active . Nokia plz dont make bad phones plz.

  • No, only 1 SIM works at a given point of time. So, say for example, when you are talking on SIM1, SIM2 automatically gets "engaged" (locked). At this point, whomsoever calling on SIM2 would get an engaged tone. When your talk on SIM1 ends, SIM2 will get "disengaged" (Unlocked) Hope this is clear

  • Cold you please tell me if this dual sim cards are online,I mean If somebody call me on: example the first sim card operator and then somebody call me to the secound sim operator,will be online for this two operators? Thanks,

  • it has speaker problem,loudspeaker turns on automatically

  • yesssssssssssssssssssss,,,,,,,don't buy it....speaker call volumn and loudspeaker is very very very low.....

  • I agree with prakash

  • I bought this phone primarily for practicality . . . Well, it's a bad phone. Cheap but bad performance. It turns off automatically! A disaster when you're expecting calls and messages. Calendar notes are very very limited. It's allows you to input a maximum of 5 notes only.

  • I've strongly problem with sending and receiving the message, i'm living in Afghanistan and use tow different mobile provider simcard. I've thought that the problem is due to service of mobile. but once i changed for test the set i got that the problem is with sending and receiving the message for this dual sim Mobile .. so i persuaded to refer to technician for repair .. i got that this is a major problem for all of this kind of mobile .. please anyone who knows that the solution send me a mail through to [email protected] thanks All

  • hi guys this phone majar problem calling time speaker sound very low and poor,

  • Yes

  • Just got gone, and find that it can't read many of my MP3 file even though they are above 32 kbps, as required by the phone. The 32 kbps limitation is strange, as all phones I'v used played MP3s of any bitrate. Anybody knows what the issue might be? To prospective buyers, I'd suggest to avoid this phone. For voice calls, the 'voice leakage' issue is very real due to single speaker design. Everyone around will be able to hear the other person. Also, voice sounds distant as the speaker is not placed near the speaker grille. As an MP3 player also it fails miserably as player is as bare basic as it gets. No fast fwd or rewind, no file management functions at all, no equalizer, bitrate limitations (some files wont play even if the meet the requirement, as mentioned above). Thank you Nokia, for a fabulous phone. Even no-name Chinese phones don't have such limitations, at lower price points.

  • will this phone work during Roaming in US

  • not bad but it is muchmore in battery saving

  • is this phone{nokia 101} is good in playing music or bad ?

  • I have this phone and it does open. U just need to slide the back cover downwards. Hope this helps. My concern with this phone is that call clarity is not good, sometimes it automatically goes into loudspeaker when u pick a call, the screen has a weak point and cracks. i have witnessed this with several of these phones. Whats strange is that all cracks begin from around the same point (bottom left).

  • Voice leakage problem is enormous, you can't hear the voice even in a room where a fan is circulating. The sound of fan's air circulation is much louder than NOKIA 101/100. The original speaker thrust only 10% of total volume & rear speaker thrust the rest. Only solution is you should use it reverse way during a voice call.

  • when I recieves a call it automatically works on loudspeaker...

  • Yes, it's automatic after ending the call. Also, he can add all duration time for all call.

  • this phone is not bad. simple but slow

  • Yes...it shows

  • yes! but dual not active, which means when u talk wid 1 puce the other one doesn't accept or receiving calls

  • can anyone tell me if this phone shows after call summary, call duration after ending the call?

  • Dear friend, this nokia 101 is not costly but has many functions such as speaking clock, screening list (to stop unwanted incoming call or sms), battery & signal strengh is good, it has flashlight & light weight , schedule sms and supports multi- lingual by texting/receiving text message. .but this dual sim handset has voice leakage problem ! i'd like to suggest you to go for Nokia 110 or 112 or 206 instead.:) The latest Nokia low end phones are good because they have xpress browser that we can surf fast internet. And they are durable too. But I would like to suggest to Nokia : please alway add more features such as talking clock, torch to the new models . One more point : it will be great if Nokia releases the new dual sim low tech phone with different screen size (larger screen size 3.5" to 4") because every buyers has their own preference. Finally I just want to say thank you to Nokia for your solid build mobile phone.

  • plz tell me i want to purches this phone is this my right decision plz rply me

  • Had the same problem. then figured that u have to push it to the fron a bit in order to open it.

  • the phone is good.but still it has some problems ,we cannot answer the phone when we are(mobile)moving.we cannot delete the songs from phone, to do so we have use card reader.no forwarding of songs , every time we have to listen from starting. But overall it is a good budget phone.

  • Could not remover the back cover to insert the battery, SIM card. Had to pry the cover off with a staple remover. I know its a cheap phone, but this isn't a good start.

  • Please tell me how to backup my message and contact in this phone to PC

Otherhand, phone is very handy for use, long battery back-up, easy for massaging

  • does it have tracker?

  • can any1 tell me what is its texts message memory?

  • The Alternate Soln. For Load Shading

  • This phone freezes n sometime switches its self off with a high vibration feeling on its loud speaker feature.

  • Good Choice!

  • the mobile seems to be cooooooooool

  • If you read my post well enough, I never said that the Nokia 101 was a replacement for my Iphone. It was meant to be a backup.

  • i m going to buy it soon. let me see how will it work, good or worse.

  • i m going to buy it soon. let's see how will it work

  • This really is nice basic phone. It serves its function well, and battery durates for fortnight easily with 2 lines. When using only one SIM, it lasts even circa week longer. That's handy when on vacation and have no time for calls from work. Actually I've never had a need to carry a charger while travelling as I needed to with smartphones. If expectations are high for features when choosing a phone, my suggestion would be to look something else. This is just a phone and SMS device, and it suits that purpose very well. (By the way, I am using this phone as my only everyday phone. I own a smartphone but need to charge almost daily has led to frustration and I've left it in desk drawer..)

  • I am able to save only 243 Message in my Inbox what's the problem any one know to how can i save more messages :D

  • can i save msges to memory card in this 4?

  • guys..please tell me which ph0ne sh0uld i buy..n0kia 100 or 101.please help me t0 make a decisi0n..pliz3.i need ur answer immediately c0z i really need a cheap simple ph0ne.

  • it's all about plastic. very cheap meterial used.there is no ear piece speaker. in terms of music good.[only with wh-215].battery just fine.

  • its overall a very gud mobile for that price.. but few probs include audibility of calls is a bit low, remainders cant be repeated annually so no chance of kkeping birthday or aniversary remainders, some tmes gets automaticallyy switched off, we cant get to the song which we want.. only it plays in an order.. over all with these small drawbacks.. its a gud 1 for the price..

  • Hai guys do you any one know about its messages storage...?is it more than 300 or greater..? kindly reply i want to purchase it

  • yes it's really good phone

  • very good and strong mobile,very light like feather.perfect!

  • hy this is a good phone in very low cost plz buy this card

  • its a good phone

  • Everything is fine except the sound quality. They called it a dual sim music phone? This model doesnt deserve that name.

  • I gave away 2 of my 101. It's a nice phone except the restart issue. I reverted to 1280 which lasts longer per charge and doesn't restart. I'll miss the music player and dual sim capability but that's ok. Now I'm waiting for the 103 to replace the 1280. I like monochrome phones. It doesn't consume much power and the clock is readily seen without having to push a key to light up the screen compared to the 101. This is just my opinion. If you don't have the restart problem then good for you. But I'd stick with monochrome phones for longer battery time and for its simplicity.

  • Hello friends...plz help me friend...i want to know that is this mobile supports videos or only song....plz.thank You

  • Really sucks! Jetlag, the battery is freak!, it restart on its own. Bullshit!

  • This is a damn good phone for the price. Dual sim, Nokia reliability, micro SD card support, music player, 1020mah battery and 3.5mm jack for Rs.1400-1500! Have been using it since more than an year with zero problems.! What else can you expect? Best bang for buck!

  • no it doesnt

  • You need to hold your finger on the back to keep your caller from not being heard freely by others around you. There are 4 small ports...put your finger on these.

  • What do you mean retrieve it? If the memory card is in, then press gently with your fingernail, and it will click out. I believe you will not get any images of your CD cover or any graphics. This phone is basic.

  • You got a good discount.

  • Playback yes of course, fast forward but only to next song, or back to previous song. Seems like no fast forward or rewind within the same song. This phone is basic. Also it seems it can't open mp3 folders, only each music file one by one.

  • it not works properly due to its dual sim function

  • ya really am feel good...

  • 10000 texts . 6000 contasts. ;)

  • awesome Phone bought it today only in just 1450 /- Rs .. Indore(m.p.) India

  • Good Battery backup, Good for Rough-use and also Nice & Soft Keypad.

  • the draw back is mp3 having not delete option

  • does anybody know how many messages can this phone hold before it will ask you to delete some from your inbox? thanx

  • does it have the play back and fast forward in mp3?

  • if its within a week u can change the phone in the shop from where u got it and after a week u can even take it the nokia guys and they will fix it or either ask for a replacement

  • plz can u tell me this phone is having memory slot but how to retrieve it ?? from memory card only mp3 songs can be play but why i cant access the image part saved of the memory card????

  • First go to contact and next go to copy or move contct to other sim or phone. Solve prblm.

  • I hv 2 problems with this phone:- 1 the phone is defaulted to the SIM card. How do I default it to "Phone"? 2 I was using another brand earlier; the SIM card I carried over did not display many of the messages I had recorded in the previous phone; how do i solve this? TQ

  • Dezmo007, how can you ever think that this phone will replace your iPhone? this is just a basic phone and as a basic phone it does the job quite well (make calls and texts easily, good battery life and a great back up phone) maybe you just made a comment just to boast that you have an iPhone and how easily you can purchase any phone just because you find it cute and you have more than enough money to buy it... whoo pee doo to you.

  • Having used and Iphone 4 for more than 2 years i thought of having a backup phone. This is when Nokia 101 was launched. Reasons why I got this phone. 1.The phone looked very simple and cute too. 2.The phone had MicroSD slot and was a good feature given. 3.Had never used a Dual Sim phone before. 4.Hardly made any difference to my pocket. I then purchaced this phone only to be dissappointed. Although i didnt expect this phone to replace my Apply however i was dissappointed because of. 1. Looked simple however it could not manage easy and simple tasks. 2. The phone restarts at its own will. There may be workarounds, but this shoudnt happen in the first place. 3. As pointed out by another user that the backcover also does not hold on to the back and slides open almost everytime you hold the phone. Did'nt expect a Design flaw from Nokia on a basic model. 4. Major reason for me not to use this phone has been avoiding embarassment when you hold the phone close to your ear calling someone, the Speaker turns on automatically. This is a feature of the phone and it cannot be fixed too. What a waste of this cute phone in my opinion. I was sometimes laughed at for using this phone as a Iphone replacement, which I did not mind. I remain highly dissappointed.

  • Which phone gives the option of call waiting in dual sim mode? I dont think

  • this is a dual sim standy by phone not a dual sim active mean if you are on one call then on other receiving call yu will get not reachable else in active you will get call waiting signal to you and a busy tone for receiver got it. don't confuse :lol

  • to nikhil & everyone To solve this prblm, you should turn off network informations in your phone SETTINGS. enjoy

  • gud phone 2 play catch catch

  • how can I remove sim contacts???HELP

  • x101 is restarts automatically it has a manufacturing problem it is not a good phone beacause of this

  • Very Good handset For Rough Use

  • This Phone is very good for rough use. Sound Quality and MP3 player is also good. Key pad is very nice and offcause affordable.

  • i am able to assign tone to perticular contact no. pl. can anybody idea to assign tone.?

  • it support upto 16 gb i m using 16 gb sd card & it works fine wid it

  • This phone is good for rough use but it have its disadvantages this phone doesn't support dual sim.no one is able to call or we can't call them ,after doing 5-6 times trail we are able to call others.if u use single sim then its very gud for reasonable price.but one more thing battery will over soon.need to recharge everyday.my rating out of 5 ---2/5

  • good phone for rough use

  • Am using this phone for last one month. Would like to share few things, Pros: good battery, excellent keypad, good UI, and resolution & colour - worth more than the price, and no disturbance in speed even with 2GB card Cons: only one SIM active at a time, does have problem with acquiring network (often shors SIM card update started and hangs for 1-2mt), slow processor, and the speaker is external (the voice can be heard tha backside of the phone while talking, so use headset while making calls) I would say - this would be the perfect phone for 1.5K. You can't expect more from this price. I am COMPLETELY SATISFIED with this phone, good choice for rough use.

  • is this phone laggy?

  • x101 is restarts automatically it has a manufacturing problem it is not a good phone beacause of this

  • one of the best affordable phones ever by nokia. serves as an excellent substitute for ipod, fm radio.

  • Awesome phone. No I forget to buy a android. Its Nokia Pros: 1. Good Dual sim management 2. Good Look. Appreciated by my friends. Glossy Black new edition 3. Good Headphone quality (good isolation) 4. Comfortable keypad 5. Better voice quality Cons: 1. Bad Loud speaker quality 2. No wallpaper support 3. A Bluetooth is missing (expected)

  • Dear I bought this phone 3 months ago. Unfortunately i didnt know about the SMS problem of it until i had some reports from my friends and customers. They said that the SMS message had arrived to their phone but it hadnt gone to their inbox, it had just appeared in screen like a notification. Some phone (Blackberry, Nokia, HTC) can save the SMS message but some phone can't (my iphone also appear SMS content and Dissmiss button) It's weird, even i tried to reset default, change SMS setting ... but couldnt fix it :( I want to report and really need ur help

  • The phone is great. Its a blend of efficiency and simplicity.

  • it wont... its going straight to Jelly Bean 4.2.1.. hehe

  • I have this phone since August and still works fine! the only drawbacks about this phone is the back cover tends to slide and loose.

  • what a phone!

  • Nice mobile vice clarity is good

  • dis mob is very nice , easy to use , the masin feature i like in the mob is msg function if you writing msg and by mistake all get erased but then also it stas in the create msg

  • nice mob

  • I hav no problems with dis mobile till now, but the music player should be like other nokia mobiles

  • this phone is the best bcoz its price is so low... not a bad phone

  • Its not working properly...if u calling any number first time although its display past history..both network are hide when network available.. lots of problem in N101

  • Mine has no problem at all:-)

  • this phone is very basic. Simplicity at its best. The only drawback is its shutting off/restarting problem. IMHO, it's still worth buying.

  • honestly, i found no claims against this phone..it's cheap and nice..you wont regret buying it..it has good signal pick-up and long battery life..

  • Brought one today and already regretting it. It doesn't recognise the Nokia Memory Card from my previous Nokia phone

  • yes indeed, it has big issue in auto restart/shutdown while texting, some people said that it's a failed product

  • Seriously. I am even facing an issue with the dual sim. It does not work well here. Either of the sim works, That too at its discretion. It hangs a lot too.

  • I am also used this phone last year but now i have got Asha 308 instead. Everything is fine for both dual sim phone.(Nokia 101 & Asha308),

  • battery ptoblem

  • the fone is nice i mean what do u expect in 1400. well tw major problems. 1)without any sim card the mobile doesnt start at all it will just be stuck in the begining so no menu n all 2)music player is poor so no proper interface. n speaker prob is also there but if ur budget is low then go fr this fone ny tie without doubt u will be happpy. advantages: 1.fast processing 2.quick start and shut down of fone 3.easy to use 4. low cost

  • it is good mobile phone, but it doesn't have data cable function. no one can upload any tone or mp3 through cable. what the hell

  • every feature is best but there is speaker problem during calling.

  • NOKIA 101 is the best nokia phone after nokia 1100... Its a torch light, fm radio and mobile phone all built in together.. in a absolute rigid pack, that can be used as a weapon in case of emergency.. lol what else can you ask in a phone!! Besides OMG dual sim.. an added advantage.. for 40 bucks.. its the best phone ever.. i wouldn't exchange it for even an IPHONE5...

  • It is on of best mobile set from Nokia,I like It.

  • worst phone..it cause ear pain after using it for more than 10 minutes.Signal is always breaking...very poor sound and micro phone clarity.....

  • hey Anonymous!!! i guess you have used all sets of nokia,but i feel that all the times you found some drawbacks in every set of nokia. i think you have personal malice with nokia. inspite of all that i would just say that in short range sets, nokia is superb always. it provides economic and durable sets.

  • nice phone,small with good design but the speaker and the sound are very poor!and battery is not very strong!i prefer nokia 112

  • Used this phone for six month in my forest work in Norway--so it is wet almost all the time and sometimes also cold. Phone had no any protective case--no problems! Good network sensitivity, the speaker is not so good as on my old Nokia N82 , but very good, when you are in the silence of mountains, lakes and rivers. Never had problems. Very long battery life-- about 5-6 days, if speaking and sending sms much, but not all the day. :) Highly recommend for dual sim users, callers and sms writers, who do not need internet and camera! Reliable, solid, works in very wet conditions.

  • It is a good mobile only if it works properly as designed! I used this brand new set hardly for 1 month. Then sold it because of the headache it created. Huge network problem, auto restarts whenever it wants. My opinion- dont go for it.

  • nice nokia 101

  • just wow phone

  • your excelent mobile....,....

  • this phone can send your messages later, it means you can set the time and date when you want to send a text message, imagine what flexibility it can give. a great but unnoticed and unpromoted feature of nokia.

  • you need antenna to start up the radio. Otherwise it doesn't work.

  • great phone but it should have been a hotswap phone

  • ur memory card is passworded. in other to solve dis problem,u must delete d password. insert u card in any Nokia symbian phone (eg C5, C7, E5,etc) open ur card=option=card password=remove

  • Is the Radio wireless? Does it need a earphones as antenna or will it play radio without attachments like basic LG phones?

  • Is the nokia 101 is only compatible with its supplied nokia headset? When i plug in other headsets, it says'enhancement not supported' and i can't listen to music.

  • You may be locked u r card with a password or something frm another phone. . . . just look in to that also. . .

  • M confused..... Should I go 4 it or nt??

  • Hi,I have a problem with Nokia101, its not detecting memory card,pls suggest

  • Thank you for your fine information and your feedback its help us to asses nokia 101 mobiles

  • battery backup is great but music player is not so great.when we insert memorycard, it is not showing the full content in it.it is listing only songs

  • Been using it since 1 month. The battery backup is great. Features are worth its price. The user interface is totally friendly and simple. Music player is good and u also get a 3 mm jack. Its affordable. Dropped it twice but its still working. Its good for rough users.

  • The sound of ringing and voice of the person that you tolking with are comming from one qnd sqme place ?!? And when you talk qnd some one sitting next to you, he will be ab le to hear what the man you talking with saying...omg..nokia this time you have doing something very very stiuped,.,

  • I bought nokia101 3days ago, good battery last 3days (ave 10 min call a day, 40txt) I havent use this for mp3 yet. the only problem is when you loose signal on either sim, it cannot recover the signal by itself, ive waited for it to have signal again after passing an underground or elevator, the only way to recover the signal is to restart the phone or go to dual sim settings, change it to sim 1 only and change it again to dual sim mode.

  • It is tooooooo soon to say any thing!!!

  • You must set the professional level to play 9-digits Sudoko!

  • YESSSS IT's SUCK perfectly!!! I have a Nokia 101! and i prefer to break! And now I have no Nokia 101!!!! and use cell phone without hang-up! and automatic turn-off in the worth situation!

  • it sucks!! sim error...messages not sent...don't buy this phone!!! nokia sucks!!

  • Its a wonderful phone music lovers,since its got a 16 gb memmory card support for mp3 playback and a dual sim too.

  • This phone doesn't have the "Character encoding" option in the settings, so you can't force it to use a reduced character encoding, it's automatically using the complete character encoding (reducing SMS size to 70 characters instead of 160!) if you type a non-ascii character. That's a dumb removal as this feature is available on all Nokia phones since a lot of time and that's a feature that I was expecting on a Nokia phone...

  • its colour display is good and superb

  • Yes,you can buy,i also have the same phone.thankyou

  • i want buy this phone for rough use can i bye this phone please tell me.......................?

  • nokia 101 is best, easy to efrt.and betty bckup is too gd...gd loking..easy to carry..

  • its gud phn........dual sim faclity.mp3

  • how can you use your phone when it has code that error

  • Pros: ----- 1. Very useful flashlight. 2. 500 contacts (some cellphones have 250) Cons: ----- 1. Keys are awful to use, ACCEPT-key is above the GREEN key, hard to reach (and you need it too many times). 2. Headset does not work at all, phone tells that it is "unrecognized device". So haven't had a chance to test the radio yet. 3. MP3-player plays too loud. At the lowest level I cannot listen it in my room at the night time. 4. RED (CANCEL)-button does not switch off your playing MP3-music, navigation button "UP" will do it (if you will return to the MP3-player menu). 5. Phone has only one speaker, that works as loudspeaker on front-side and ringtone speaker on the backside. Unfortunately this means, that other people in the same room with you, can listen to callers speech. 6. You cannot use 2 SIM-cards at the same time. Conclusion: For 30� I got expensive flashlight. This crap is comparable with my 1st cellphone I ever had, Motorola d160.

  • itz an gud mob 2 use...........with dual sim.....

  • Pls hw can I transfer my files in memry card frm n101 to anothr phone?

  • bad phone.the main problem of this phone is network.

  • I was thinking too purchase this model actually i was thinking about samsun E1232B which was not in market... So bcz of that i was thinking to purchase this one....

  • Nokia it is still a Nokia, and at a lower price you could have a smoke signal only. I have that nokia for 2 mounth and I have no problems with him.

  • hi

  • This is a good phone for limited use. If you want dual SIM, you can call and recieve from either SIM quite simply. You have to realise when you buy a $35-$40 phone, don't expect all the bells and whistles. This great for me for work, then have my own phone access in one phone. The speaker sometimes has problems, not clear and the battery needs to be charged 2-3 times per week.

  • it shows insert sim card and blank display and all care center shows liquid near headphone jack but it is company fault

  • it shows insert sim card and blank display and all care center shows liquid near headphone jack but it is company fault

  • low signal

  • Poor signal, battery drains quickly.

  • wats its internal memory

  • just restore to factory settings when the phone restarts. This is a simple and easy to use phone with dual simcard and I hate touchscreen phones only for show but sucks in text messages.

  • since it has a mem.Card? Can it store Thousands of Messages? like 2k-3k messages at the Inbox or how many? and at the PhoneBook, when you type a name. does it also automatically read the Surname & not just the first name of the entry? thanks!

  • Can i know the best phone Nokia 101 or Samsung E1232B pl reply ........... Eagarly Waiting.......

  • Nokia 101 made by Nokia (not in China). It is really a good one but if you want better than this : i suggest you to go for Nokia 112 or Asha 202. But the new model of Nokia basic phone lacks of Flashlight , Speaking Clock and Black list.

  • This is very good phone nd available all important features also. I use this phone from one month. it high battery backup nd good sound. This is not costly.

  • sold it after 2 weeks of use because text typing is laggy. u have to wait for sumtym to type another letter. to check u can also try to write adadadadadad or sumthing like that with both hands quickly... also GUI is not good. menu selection option with number keys is not possible. u have to scroll to the icon with arrow keys everytime...

  • Somedody is saying good about the phone and somebody is saying bad about the phone, i dont know to whom should is believe?

  • nokia 101 is good cell, low price, good battery, mp3 player, only problem it restarts by own sometimes, otherwise it is good in this price......!

  • Worst phone I ever had ... After 1 week I sold it ! Speaker problem , the volume in the ear was to big and if you lower it down an eco apears very bad thing , the response in the menu is slow , loses signal almost all the time , when you speak from SIM 1 , SIM 2 it is shut down because the phone doesen't have a second cip for the second SIM ... So what is the use of the dual SIM ?? I regret very much buying this phone and the worst thing is that it is made in India wich says everything about the quality ... Where are the phone Nokia made to last like 6510 , 6310i , 3310 and others ?? Where is the real Nokia ?

  • nice,dual,simpple,easy

  • it's good. dual standby. during call, the other sim's signal is suspended. good for calling and texting. you can set tone for each sim.

  • Very bad phone. It restarts automatically. Very bad keypad design. It goes to speaker automatically and voice is very low quality. My suggestion: Don't buy it! It's just a waste of money.

  • dual stand by?

  • sound leakage from back speaker?

  • does it have enthral and hushed ringtone?

  • how do you actually load any songs to the phone- no usb, no b/tooth. Does it need a card reader?

  • The phone Nokia 101 is cost wise, looks and features ok but the audio player seems to be having problem. When opened to view the folders in the Memory card it is getting stuckup and restarting after a gap of 3 to 5 minutes . My vendor unable to understand & fix the problem. I am using 4 gb card and the duration of each audio file on the card is about 90 minutes @128 KBPS.

  • Lowest Call quality in this phone I ever experienced. The rest are fine as the price is low.

  • this is a very bad phone. I really hate it. I am from manila philippines, the day I bought it, I notice it restart. Then a week later the problem did not stop, I brought it to service center in SM Manila, I myself cannot believe that I went back 3 times to replace the mother board thrice, then the service center said, they can no longer replace or fix my phone. I bought it last March 2012, and I hate to say it I am still using it upto now, need to save some money to replace this phone. Very bad, and dont try to buy this phone

  • Bought this phone just today. Loved it. Its a great device. Dual Sim, Good SMS capacity, MicroSD slot, MP3, Color screen, Light and slim form factor. What else can you demand? Awesome job NOKIA. Keep bringing some more slim and light and powerful phones like this.

  • Bought this phone today and can't get the back off, any one else had issues, will take it back tomorrow

  • I bought this dual sim phone since Dec. 2011 and use it until now. This phone is not only dual sim, its dual standby too. Its battery is ok (for normal use it lasts for two or three days) , signal strengh is very good . .but only sometime its speaker turn on automatically when dailling, we can solve this problem by pressing the loudspeaker button (its volume can in/decrease by using navigation key). I like this handset because it has speaking clock, T9,Mp3, Torch, solid build, dual sim and reasonable price especially it supports multi-lingual by texting and receiving sms. I have dropped it 2 times on the floor but it still works in order. Thank you to Nokia for your quality mobile phone.

  • Rm 100+

  • Good basic phone that does what it says. Dual standby, good battery life, good call quality.

  • this is a bad phone. it hangs restarts, sometimes shows no simcard. earphone is not good. overall bad. nokia has become a bad producer.

This handset doens't have camera & bluetooth but it has many features such as screening list ( for stopping unwanted calls and sms), speaking clock, dual sim and also dual standby, mp3, flashlight. . Phone supports multi lingual by texting. I have used it almost half year. It still works very good. For normal use its battery can last two or three days.

  • I am very sorry for my mistake by writting comment = Phone is an awesome dual Sim cellphone made by Nokia.

  • how to add bluetooth?

  • add bluetooth in this only

  • how can add?

  • u can store 300 sms

  • atleast blue tooth or usb menu can be added in this phone to utlise at the best of need

  • when you remove the battery , please not forget to switch off your phone first. Its cover is easy to open but its durable.

  • battery standby time is much less than the Nokia says,the battery is good for 2 days, the battery drains easily, the backcover is very loose, and when you remove the battery and put it again, all the recent contacts disappear.Sometimes the phone suddenly restarts, which is really annoying.it is the worst cellphone that i have had

  • The best phone ever..eliminates the need for an ipod, with an SD card you can store all your songs and then some more. Great sound, great speaker, I use it with my Sennheiser headphones. Solid and rugged, even the screen is scratchproof. Simplicity is the new sophistication, and Nokia's done a great job.

  • This handset N.101 can store 250 to 300 SMS and cannot move SMS to memory card. If I want unlimited SMS maybe you go for Asha 202 or Asha 305 (newest dual Sim mobile phone).

  • Plz anybody can tell me that this cell fone has enough memory to store unlimited SMS bcz i m SMS lover and buy this fone.. if it has enough memory to store unlimited sms then i must wanna buy this dual sim mobile?

  • 12345 it is the default code.......try it

  • security code is 12345

  • Good phone ! I bought it since Dec. 2011 (us$32) and use it until now. It has scheduled SMS, torch, screening list and dual Sim function. It's less heavy and also solid. It's battery is not very good but I can use for 2 or 3 days after fully charged. Thank you Nokia for your durable basic phone ( it looks very simple : I like it !).

  • I like the phone.. But the information booklet is just useless... I am trying to set up the security code, but it hasn't given me a default code and 0000 doesn't work either... Anyone knows please help .. Thanks

  • The mobile sw has issues like searching alphabet in a contacts. If i type s in phonebook it never displayed any names. But some times display. There is ambiguity in handling both the network. When ever you in call suddenly both network ll be lost even though i am using airtel in banglore...!!! mobile is handy and nice but some times very irritating. Even though i updated the software but still no change...Nokia fell down in the market. But are not they trying to get up.?? i feel they want to die permanently doing such mistakes i believe..!!!!

  • I bought this phone about 2 weeks back, it is really very nice handset compare to any mobile. Quality wise sound wise, clarity wise its too good. Once again thanx for NOKIA making this one.

  • to solve the problem: pls remove the battery , then insert it again. Switch on yr phone and set the dual sim function properly (manual setting). Hope everything will be in order :)

  • i bought one for my son. At least, i can hear him very clear and loud. Tremendous clarity.

  • My nokia 101 do not show 2 sim contact in same time.pls help me

  • i bought this mobile. its very nice and user friendly

  • It's an awesome phone. It has good price , small , light weight and can use two Sim cards (dual standby). Thanks to Nokia.

  • Dual sim handset with very affordable price is Nokia 101. It has almost everything I need. Just its loudspeaker turns on by itself while dialling (not always & we can turn off by pressing its loudspeaker button 3 times) besides it has speaking clock, flashlight, black list "can stop 10 unwanted number", battery back up is enough for two days for normal use, signal strengh is always good but depends on the coverage erea of mobile network. .I am still using this mobile because the newest nokia handset doesn't have flashlight & speaking clock. .this N 101 can write sms fast by using T9 and supports many languages such as: vietnamese, chinese, french, russian, thai, cambodian ,fillipino etc . .

  • I was very excited when I first saw this model but then I decided to search the internetz about any related problems and issues and I see a lot of people have complains. I desperately need a very simple Dual Sim mobile phone that can actually have no flaws and yet Nokia isn't giving quality like it used to be.

  • My phone never had a restart issue. firmware version is 7.20

  • Restarts happen when the Dual Sim feature is enable. A workaround solution is to disable the 2nd sim if you are not actually using both of them.

  • My experience with Nokia 101 and 110: when I am receiving call with Sim one , I can't get a call via Sim two at the same time. But if someone call me via Sim one while I am on call with Sim one : I can hear a beep (alert tone) so I can accept a new call by pressing the receiving button.

  • while u r in call ur second sim network itself disappears (No Tower in sim2) so the persons calling might get no tower else not reacheable else call wont get connect it wil just simply beeps

  • I used to hear an incoming call tone from sim 2 while I am on call with sim 1. To answer or receive call from Sim 2 , I just press the sending button.

  • Does the call on the sim 2 appears waiting when i am on a call with sim 1 or does it show busy?

  • This phone has a problem when we call its speaker turns on by itself (sometime). But its perfect by texting.Its not costly. .it has torch, screening list/black list, mp3, dual sim & dual standby, signal streng is very good, battery can last for two or three days depends on how long we use it. One more point: this handset supports multi-lingual by writing/receiving sms.

  • just go through the nokia mobile pages in gsm arena...you can see similar looking phones introduced by nokia in late 90's and early 2000...that is nokia 101....volkswagen beetle, fiat 500, etc are classics still in production with more features than earlier....that is what happened to nokia 101...featured an old phone with color display mp3 etc... These type of nonsence thinking is the reason why people hate nokia... Nokia's life cycle is in declain stage now...Every thing is against nokia , mostly because of their bad marketing techniques and lack of proper competetive models... Just compare Nokia 101 with similar featured Samsung e1232.... In India Nokia 101 costs 1200 to 1400 INR based on markets.. Samsung e1232 costs 1500 INR.. Display is similar size.. Samsung jas many extra features like privacy lock for applications, most importantly BLUETOOTH is there... And looks far more better..... Nokia's rival is samsung , sony, and HTC etc... Not Karbonn, Lava , videocon or any other chinese outsoursed phones...

  • it is good mobile

  • won't this fon can share phone memry with card.........?

  • Hai frnds, What about music player? Can we browse songs through albums list or need to browse all the track list every time for songs selection? Would you plz help me?/?

  • there is good mobile

  • Before this phone i use to have nokia c3 my brother throw it into the toilet i put out the memory with three songs the sutans of suing the bigmouth strikes again and the headcleaner i against i.Iheard them now in nokia 101

  • rate for the comen at down

  • i bought this phone with the purpose of listening to music that i put on my memory card shockingly the thing could not read the card neither the mp3 music files on the card,........was so frastrated

  • Its speaker vibrate like . Mobile vibration

  • the battery is good for 1 day i used it for texting and only 1 hour of radio , thebattery drains easily

  • Speaker is good. Not so faulty. Light weight. Nice buttons. Few games no internet. No fb nor tweeter.

  • I bought this device two month ago, because I need a two-SIM phone. Compare with its price, it seemed to be a real bargain at first; however there are some drawbacks make me regretful of my purchase: Sometimes the phone suddenly restarts, which is really annoying, battery standby time is much less than the Nokia says, the backcover is very loose, and when you remove the battery and put it again, all the recent contacts disappear.

  • this phone does not have tracking option if the phone is lost. But nokia 101 with 16 GB expandable is the cheapest ever phone introduced by the nokia.....outstanding nokia....outstanding....but in order to capture the market share pls introduce something which is the combination of the features which is found in branded phones and also with the phones like that of Lava, karboon, Beetel etc...etc. Because of this only today samsung have take over the market. Every second or third people today have samsung in their hand. There was a time when nokia was famous but today it seems as if Nokia's end is near.

  • does it have mobile tracker

  • it's a nice phone... How can i reduce the backlight?

  • Nice phone, nice features.. But its earphone problems overshadows its qualities.. not in my cell only but in many others too.. Need to use headset for calling purposes :(

  • pls put blutooth options

  • passwords

  • Love this phone, especially the keypad and i find it easy to use since all of it's operations are just basic or easy to understand. Although this is a dual SIM phone I only use the SIM 1 slot but in the future if I will be able to save enough money I'll be buying a retailer SIM for the second slot.

  • i have using this basic phone since 2 mnths ....its good for basic uses .....more flexible and etc...bt i had experianced a little prblm in sound .....its vibrating heavly while ringing.....

  • Iam using this from 2 weeks.I have a problem with Sound ,i.e its getting vibrating ...../

  • i think i they include voice recording i will be nice

  • I got this basic phone yesterday. I was actually considering the Nokia X1 as the price between this and X1 was only minor, but I finally went for this b'coz it has spaced out number pad rather than it being joined/ connected liked the Nokia X1. As for the price, it's ok. Does the job. Certain tracks sound as if if the loud speaker is broken. While speaking on the first voice call I felt I could not hear the caller very clearly, but soon I increased the volume and that was sorted out. This a good phone. Better than Samsung basic phone. Get it and I am sure you would not regret it. Cheers!!

  • inbox normal or conversation view

  • no

  • No. . . During call in SIM 1, the SIM 2 automatically goes to Not reachable.

  • is that phone both the sim card is working??????? i mean if i made a call from sim 1 the another sim card will work.....??????

  • this set has sound leakage . and some time loud speaker automatically gets on when u attend call. and one disadvantage is that some time u'll be unable to see saved contact ( specially when u forward a message u will be unable to find contact with s) this is cheep set dont buy it

  • I am using this phone, its speaker turns on automatically when calling but not always (not all the time). I can switch off its speaker by pressing loudspeaker button , its volume can in/decrease during call. I used Nokia X1-01 before , but it doesn't support multi language by texting like Nokia 101. Both phones have advantage and disadvantage. However Nokia 101'price is affordable in comparision with other dual sim handset . I (myself) use it for my secondary phone for half year already and I don't want to change to another one yet.

  • I bought this mobile 2 weeks before in India. Battery comes for 2 days under normal use (normal use means 3 hrs talk time & 3 hours music per day). Loudspeaker sound is good (Very louder). Dual sim function good. Memory card is only used for mp3 songs (We can access memory card only through Music player). There is no file manager so we cant delete mp3 songs (unwanted songs) in Memory card. MAIN DISADVANTAGE: This phone has voice leakage problem. During call backside speaker volume is high. So if any one stand near to us they can easily hear our talk. Also in front side speaker the sound is not good enough. So i am just turn the phone and hear the back speaker sound instead of the front speaker. A basic phone really used for Voice calls but nokia still not doing anything to fix this voice leakage issue. My simple advice is please go for NOKIA x1-01 instead of this one. NOKIA x1-01 (Dual SIM) just Rs.300 (6 to 7 dollars) more. After my experience please don't go for this mobile. Any queries pls call 0091-7200241219

  • Its necessary for me to buy a dual sim handset to be my alternative phone , before i want to go for Nokia 110 but it doesn't have flashlight, so i'll buy Nokia 101 instead.

  • The Fault is in the charger or in the Charging Base of the cell, try with another charger...

  • I bought this handset since Dec. 2011. Its really a good phone with many features such as speaking clock, screening list =black list (for preventing unwanted call), dual sim & dual standby, torch etc. . .this phone is light weight, small and supports multi lingual by writing / receiving sms. But Its loudspeaker turns on sometime by itself while dialling. I can solve this problem by pressing its loudspeaker button for 3 times. Anyway its volume can be adjustable (by using navigation key (turn to righ and left). On the other hand its sound quality & signal strengh is very good ( but sometime it depends on the coverage area of the network) . I think that this hanset is not perfect (100%) ,but it is worth for its price range & its really excellent to be a secondary phone at present. Thanks to Nokia .

  • No. memory is JUST mp3 storage...

  • I'm using my phone Nokia 101 more than 2 weeks, and I don't really like it that much. Unlike other nokia phones like N1616 it is user friendly and the battery is not drained faster. But still good :)

  • put ur one finger at the back speaker.u will here well

  • Why Nokia cheating the consumers in dual sim mobiles. In nokia-101, if we receive a call for one sim, automatically the second sim losing its signal. What is the of having dual sim then. such a big brand why doing so? One of the worst piece that nokia ever launched.

  • Hello all GSMARENA users I've had this phone about six months, This phone has some issues that I think mention here for other people who want to buy it. 1- Battery backup is poor it lasts two days in normal usage. 2- sometimes when phone rings it automatically goes to speaker phone mode or sometimes voice inside handset microphone is very loud. 3- Display performance under the sunlight is very poor. 4- When I reply a text after sending text the menu still stays at same place. 5- Themes are not so good and after months it looks dismal.

  • Better charge your mobile everyday.

  • Overall phone is quiet good but the thing is that when the bettry comes to full charging it automatically shows " NOT CHARGING" plz help me to sought out this problem. Thank You !!

  • it can store upto 300 messages in phone memory and messages can't be stored in memory card.

  • Nice basic function dual sim card phone. I am using it more than 4 weeks and i charged it only twice!!!The battery capacity, with moderate use lasts about 6 days. No problem with the sound quality. User friendly menu. Don't expect the complicated functions of the advanced models. I wish it could reproduce images from the memory card and not only music files. Anyway, i recomend it. It is an excellant choice for secondary phone.

  • I have been using this phone for more than 2 weeks now and I am a heavy user. It is very easy to use and very basic and don't why other users are finding it hard to use this phone. The box includes instruction for begginers on how to use the phone. This phone is very user friendly even my 60year old mother-in-law can use it.

  • i had mine for more than 2 weeks now and i am a heavy user. i have no problem maybe your phone is faulty. try to bring as soon as you can where you bought it. it still may be under warranty.

  • Depends on which country you are.

  • Sound quality is great. You just have to remember to increase the volume every time you use it.

  • wat if sim2 got a call while sim1 on call?

  • to those who are complaining.. you get what you pay for.. but even better. this is a basic phone with dual sim .. you can receive messages from any of the two sims and you can reply your sim 1 message using your sim2 message.. the battery is ok for me.. personally this is a nice secondary phone good for business what lacking is the "blacklist".. if they could have just put that i think it would be very awesome but nonetheless i love this phone

  • This Mobile is good.There is Replacement for faulty product.

  • my phone some time automatic switch off why???

  • I bought this handset and memory slot is faulty and no replacement from NOKIA. DO NOT BUY THIS HANDSET.

  • is 101 has 3.1mm jack

  • This phone has switched itself to 'silent'. Cannot find how to get it to ring when someone calls. Can only see adjustment facility in 'Profiles" but it will only let me 'activate' not remove the 'silent'ness.

  • sound quality at talking is very low ,you can not listen without speaker at any busy place.

  • this fone is 2 gud...simply look,style,and working i luv this fone

  • I didn't have problem with my phone battery. Its normal. But before buying we should check everything properly whether it is original mobile phone .

  • This fone is small and light and has nice features. Thanks to Nokia that you continue to release more models of dual sim handset. Of course , we do not use one mobile fone at the moment (at least two units) :)

  • i bought it few days ago. Its a good fone with many features (memory card 2GB included). I face sometime a problem with loudspeaker but everything else is ok with this mobile.

  • its battery is verrrryyyyyyy bad................

  • i think no mob s in the market wit ur requirement i.e. calls at a same time in both of the sims

  • side from black and pink. what are the other available colors of Nokia 101? thank you :)

  • I want to try this kind of phone because I heard many positive feedback and I know this phone is really nice and affordable :)

  • Sometimes ( rare ) self reset especially when orders are given simultaneous . Battery BL5CB not so good as specification . Reality 3...4 days . Attention : BL-5C � 970 mAh BL-5CA � 700 mAh BL-5CB � 800 mAh Speaker quality : satisfactory quality.

  • I'm using this mobile. Its dual sim and dual standby. While I receive a call on sim 1 . .I can not get a new call on sim 2..but its not a problem for me because not often that I got two calls at the same time. This low tech phone is very useful for me especially by texting ,its better than nokia X1or C2 because I can change language very fast and it supports T9 (predictive text) also. I like this handphone's features very much and want to say 100 thanks to Nokia.

  • call recorder wont work with this phone..

  • Its a dual sim dual standby phone. While you are on a call on one sim, the other sim is unreachable.

  • go to shops and check it.

  • Best Simple Phone EVER!!!

  • i wnt 2 buy this phone pls sugest me the real price.

  • See,the phone is a simple basic phone. It's for those who require a simple phone for texts and calls. I own a htc wildfire at present. I have kept it for just texts. This is the best you can get in Rs1500. Stop COMPLAINING!!!

  • I want automatic cal recorded option. So this ph have that feature? Plz suggest me. Coz most important to cal recording option to me.

  • I want automatic cal recording option. So this ph have this feature? Plz suggest me.

  • nice opinion . but i'll go for nokia 103 to be my secondary phone bec. I already own e71.

  • i'm using this phone. Only loudspeaker problem (speaker turn on by itself sometime while dialling). But there's nothing else with this handset. Its volume can be adjustable, Signal strengh is good, Battery is OK, Dual sim & dual standby, its screening list is enough for about 10 unwanted incoming call, Speaking clock works very good. .and what's I like the best is doing texting. This phone supports many languages inclusive of our language also (cambodian). Even it is not perfect (100%) but I am satified with its functions, its price and its durability.

  • This is really a very poor product from Nokia. I have been using nokia phones over 7 years. But this phone totally disappointed me. Problems are : 1. volume goes up or loudspeaker while talking. 2. phone gets restarted while typing sms. 3. while talking for a long time phone gets restarted. 4. phone is showing no sim sometimes where the network is full. More to come. But they must have tested the phone accurately before launching a phone to market. These type of phones will degrade the name of Nokia to people. Please do some thing.

  • its loud speaker automatically on during cal error in speaker

  • Beautiful phone. I am using a galaxy note and purchase this one as backup phone. its really very cute, basic phone. And in this price tag.. cant be better.

  • great phone.................

  • Can Nokia 101 RM-769 possibly have a recording? i just want to try recording my voice if it is possible

  • It's dual standby. I change my BL-5CB 'n using BL-5C battery to increase phone life till 4 days. But earpeace's not good, & loudspeaker sometimes turned on itself on call..

  • is it a hotswap phone? ie, can one remove d SIM while d phone is ON whitout switching it OFF just as C2-00

  • unfortunately, we can't!! :(

  • I've been using this handset. It is dual sim and dual standby. It is not perfect but its reliable and affordable. It has some good features that I need.

  • for those of u that have used this phone. Is it a dual standby phone?

  • I like this phone because it supports many languages by wrtting sms. on the otherhand it has flashlight, mp3, scheduled sms and good price. :)

  • Very Good Set

  • I have problem too! With loudspeaker... but I press "Loudspeaker" button 2 times and woila:no loudspeaker mode ;)

  • To all of you , just listen! If you want to buy a phone that really works well and have good specs, go buy blackberry, samsung galaxy, or whatever! phone like this for business, working people who doesn't have enough money to buy android phone. UNDERSTOOD!! so shut up your mouth and if don't like it, don't buy it!!

  • the worst phone i ever used it always losses the signals. when ever i send text msgs it says sending msg failed :@ :@ :@

  • This phone is really good.. I have been using it for 4 months.& I am satsified. good battery life. Thanks to NOKIa....

  • No, ihave one but I can't rewind or fast forward either!! A real pain

  • Facility is less

  • Four problems:- 1-sound comes up in loudspeaker automatically 2-restarts with it's own effort 3-no key 2 control brightnes 4-no key 2 control music system BUT, keypad is good..sound is good in speaker.price is cheap :-D

  • i'm using this fone too . I have the same problem like yours. But fortunately i can adjust its volume by using its navigation key. :)

  • I have used this phone almost 4 months. I face only one problem : its loudspeaker turn on automatically sometime but I do not face any problem else with this small & light weight handset.Its signal strengh is always good ( but we can check that some of the mobile network co. doesn't provide good enough quality of the connectivity ), its battery & sound are also good. By texting I am very satisfied with this N. 101 : I can write many languages inclusive of my local language . And I often use its speaking clock in case I not use my glass.

  • I hate this phone. Never buy it. Waste of money. Restart suddenly, loudspeaker is on when we call, very low signal search. Worst phone ever from nokia

  • Yes. I bought mine in Bangkok for US$30. I put my Australian SIM & my Thai SIM in it. They both work fine. Each call or SMS you make or send will ask you which SIM you want to use. You can set one SIM to be the default, and have the other SIM on standby. So it's possible to receive messages on one SIM but reply from the other SIM

  • This phone is rubbish. Voice clarity very very low, Sound comes louder in back speaker, i have to talk using the back side speaker. Dont buy this.

  • can we rewind/forward mp3 files on this phone??

  • Gud price,quality,slimy,it is a perfect choice for dual sim phone in a reasonable price...

  • excellent phone ... awesome battery backup only loudspeaker problem

  • a basic phone that works just perfect for me. Signal strenght is excellent, battery above average, large keys, very easy to operate. Perfect Nokia phone

  • yep!

  • Waste phone.I never seen from Nokia brand.I am using this phone since 8 months it totally waste of money invested in this. sometime phone gets automatic restart in my cases phone will not ring at all though the volume 5 point. don't buy this phone its my humble request.

  • Is this phone Dual Sim Active like allows the device to be connected to both networks at the same time?

  • how is it's battery,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,????????????

  • i just bought one, it looks nice, but the only inconvenient for the moment,, that's impssible to explore your mem-card, or delete any thing of it,,

  • You are using C1-02 now. As I know it is a very good one esp. by browsing internet but it has no camera & torch. Nokia 101 is just a low tech phone. Its good by talking & sending sms only. But it has Screening List (to stop unwanted call), Talking Clock, Dual Sim and supports multi- lingual by texting , microSD card up to 16GB (2GB included) . .but Nokia 101 has a problem bec. its speaker turn on itself sometime. .we know how to turn it off by pressing its loudspeaker button. We hope that Nokia will re-check this speaker problem. Finally I suggest you to go for the next/ latest model of Nokia phone (maybe Nokia 103). I am sorry for any inconvinience (its just my suggestion , but I myself will go for N. 103 when it released bec. I need one more spare phone for my daily work).

  • it suddenly..turn off or restart..this mobile phone suckz..very slow in getting signals..

  • Does it have inner memory? Can you tell me it's size? I have a C1-02, didn't need any shit camera, and I like this phone, does the same as my C1-02 + flash-light + dual-SIM. I would like this to be my next one, but I need a bigger inner mem as in my current one.

  • update your firmware...if it doesn't work, you'll need to re-flash your firmware..if it still doesnt work, mother board will be replaced..if all else fails...sell your phone.

  • I think it amedium tech mobile and i had the the same problems as all of you

  • How can u say it is a good phone????

  • phone is purchase or not

  • phone is purchase or not

  • why does this phone sometimes its restart?or auto restart?

  • This phone is just a low tech phone so its too hard to say multi-tasking with it. Besides everything is almost fine with it except its speaker turn on sometime by itself but its volume key is adjustable (navigation key turn to left & right)

  • I had this phone on 3-25-2012. and all i can say is the phone is not used to multi-tasking. i also experienced the same issues you guys had. major hang time, auto restart, no sim active. ever since i bought the phone, it took frequent trips to the Nokia service center. replaced my firmware at a whopping 6.90 and mother board after the 2nd visit. all i can say is when you type a long message and receive a long one in response (especially if your heavy in texting) unlock the phone quickly while the light blinks and you'll notice the lights dim for a bit, count 10 seconds flat and boom....your phone dies and you lose your call logs. all i can say is that the phone is not used to sudden multi tasking. the beauty of it is that you have multimedia functions like radio and MP3. but if your into the typical call and text phone and a person who's on the go..i suggest you go for a typical dual sim phone that has a the same functionalities (or even more) of a nokia for half the price. as the consumer, we should deserve defect free devices don't you think?

  • i bought it yesterday. It has some useful options that i prefere.The flashlight is bright and fone is less heavy & small. It is reliable. I like it. Thanks Nokia.

  • When i brought this phones version is v.6.65 but how can i add/install the snake game to it

  • of course you have a lot of i-phone what r you doing with so many i phones? I guess you sell iphone in shops don't you? Stop saying bullshits.

  • In our country (Asia) we do not use only one mobile phone at the moment. Many people use two or three phones inclusive of Tablet also. Some of the mobile network company provide unlimited call within the same network with lower rate. .so lots of people like to use two or three handphones or dual sim mobile phone. That does not mean that they are rich but its economical..they can reduce their expense. That is why I'd like to say thank you very much to Nokia that always bringing good dual sim mobile phones with best price for people.

  • ohh u got 3 phones how cool is that rich prick?? i got more iphones than u got any nokia

  • Dear Abbas, is it true what you said? I and my class friends use Nokia 101 for almost 3 months already. I'm not looking for the other handphone to replace it yet .It really a good one with its price range.

  • good phone but Speakr phone's voice come out

  • thank you for your Info but I do not face any problem with my battery . Now I own 3 phones and nokia 101 is my favorite one.

  • Dear all, one good news about its battery (Nokia 101). I have changed its battery BL-5CB to BL-5C on the way while travelling. Now i got the good result. My phone battery can last longer.

  • battery backup is not good

  • Nokia 101 is a good one. Its price is reasonable but has many functions. Phone is small and light. Sound quality is good too. Just its speaker turn on sometime by itself but we can prevent that problem by pressing 3 times to its loudspeaker button. Normally I can adjust its volume during incoming call so nobody can hear the caller voice. One more point : Its an economical phone also because I always use my 2nd sim card to contact my family by using unlimited call (provided by mobile network company). Thank you Nokia :)

  • i bought this phone, everything is fine but most thing that irritated me to reject it was that this phone has no earpiece it has only loudspeaker which is used during calls AND playing music! because of this, a person sitting beside you can hear the callers voice as well!!

  • I like this handset bec. it has speaking clock, screening list (black list), torch, schedule sms etc..this dual sim phone supports multi lingual too. it has good price but only its speaker turn on sometime automatically. I hope that Nokia will check this problem. Anyway I would like to say thank you to Nokia that always release useful and solid handphones for people.

  • Its not so good... But its adjustable compared to its low price.. The speaker of this phone is in the back side.. So we cant clear properly when attending a call.. The voice will hear also through the back side of the phone... Its a irritating thing...

  • this is good mobile

  • Anybody knows that, are both sims standby?

  • how much message memory of this phone

  • very good

  • hands free reqd.

  • HI, I am using nokia 101 for 4 months now and the experience is very good...

  • ..Very bad phone..i brought it 13 days ago and very complaint.....:)... It is restarting every time...and if it switch on and i press any button it switches off automatically and switches on...

  • I'm from Spain. I bought one on the internet and it came from Germany with no Spanish language. I don't really care because I can understand English perfectly. The thing is that it came with 6.25 firmware. I took it to a Nokia Center... they sent it to Madrid (I guess) and it came back with a week later with... the 6.25 firmware in Spanish. WTF? What a waste of time. Is there a way I can update it myself? Thanks in advance.

  • how to remove password

  • Gud phone...by frnds..it mainly lacks usb slot...gud sound,gud battery backup etc

  • 101 looks good, but performance is poor. I got one last month, now the sound cannot be heard properly when we speak from both the end. Seems to be a cheap instrument???. Now I will have to take it to a service center to get it repaired. Cheap products come with a price later!!!

  • Both sims will be in standby mode. Calls can be made and received on both sims. When one sim is busy in call other sim cannot be used.

  • no

  • Is it possible to connect the phone with the computer for backups..plz

  • i want to know that in this mobile both sim active in same time or no.

  • how is music quality thru earphones? Does it have equaliser?

  • Nice sound effect

  • update it to V6.65 If u have a pRoblemx in NETWORK and RESTART PROBLEMS . . If u have the v6.25 it has problems . Update its firmware to v6.65 Its a stable version . It will fix the pRoblems . To check ur firmware (*#0000) . Go to NOKIA CARE CENTER to update its firmware .

  • its very nice

  • the only problem is sim1 n sim2 does not work simultaneosly.for ex : if sim1 is on call then sim2 will show out of range.

  • what do u want in 1000? A home

  • cool phone yeh

  • it's phone vert cool

  • I got this phone last week. I already have a Nokia 5230 but thought of buying 101 because of Battery backup(in standby:- Flipkart:600hrs, Nokia Site:25days)and Dual sim. However I am not happy with Nokia 101. Battery is not lasting for more than 2 Days even for minimal usage!! Also sometime the battery always shows full and at the end of second day Battery Empty Alert shows up on the screen with the Battery Indicator showing "FULL Battery". This is misleading..!!

  • what is the stable(updated) firmware version of the phone?the one the don't have any problem about sudden reboot n automatically change to loudspeaker while on a call,,,,i got v6.65 when i purchased the phone,,,just want 2 know so that i need to go to the nokia care center or not,,,tq all,,

  • Ok phone,ok design. Dual simultaneously active sim,loud clear speaker. Testing with 1000mAh battery,let's see how long will go with light use.

  • Ya !!! U r ri8...!!! no more phones Required if this is Urs...!!!

  • Deligate piece !!!! No Minus Point !!!

  • hey! thats why you need to create folders in memory card, then go to ALL SONGS, press Right or Left,few times if necessary, and then you will be able to see all created folders ;)

  • i cannot callout fm my nokia 101.it can register network.

  • CONS and PROS of Nokia 101: CONS: - hard to search songs on its mp3 player,you have to scroll it down or up to find the song. - no camera and flash - a little bit laggy but then it's okay. - can't put any downloaded themes - no image gallery and no bluetooth - no infrared too - old features but it's okay - it has no Notes to write some of your important memos. - no voice and video recorder PROS: - very lightweight and very very handy - active dual sim support - very loud and clear speakers when playing music - clear and loud voice call - battery lasts for more than a day with normal usage - long talk time of 8 hour capacity - not very soft but it has good keypads MY OVERALL RATING: 79 out of 100

  • i both this nokia about 2 days and it works perfectly very good battery life exellent mp3 player and for 30 hours playing flashlight very usefull and 2 sim cards great job Nokia big up

  • in my nokia101 phone i can not receive any sms,but there there was no network problem,i contact the customar care they told its ur handset problem...plz can ane one tell me how to slove the problem?????????

  • Can anyone plz tell me how to play the songs on the memory card on this phone? I cant find it on the music player.

  • Can anyone plz tell me how to play the songs on the memory card on this phone? I cant find it on the music player.

  • nice and good in a cheapest price

  • brother standby not manually

  • is this a Dual SIM standby type of phone or do you have to shift the SIMs manually?

  • Overall Nokia 101 dual SIM mobile phone is an excellent and affordable choice for those who are looking for a low price but well performing mobile phone.

  • Please Go For it

  • this sucks! it hangs all the times. advise you to buy samsung instead

  • hi I'm planning to buy a new phone with a long life battery in normal usage and I'm interested with this one. should I buy this? with all the problems (especially the automatic loudspeaker). *advice needed* thankyou

  • nice handset with a low price

  • The best solution is delete contacts from both sim1 and sim2. Example: On sim1 delete the private contacts and remain the work contacts. On sim2 delete the work contacts and remain the private contacts. So you use sim1 for the work contacts and sim2 for the private contacts. On my Nokia 101 I use this system. For calling you always can choose wich sim you will use, but the contacts are split on the two simcards. Perhaps this is the answer you need?

  • Auto speaker off after fw upgrade

  • Great phone. Work nmicely with both SIM cards. The only concern is sound - not perfectly clear.

  • I don't know why Nokia101 will switch over automatically to loud speaker when I try dialing to any of the numbers.

  • I also faced the same problems like auto speaker on while dialing and auto restarting g also changed the firm ware through nokia care now its working smooth my current version is 06.65

  • I also faced the same problems like auto speaker on while dialing and auto restarting g also changed the firm ware through nokia care now its working smooth my current version is 06.65

  • The real Nokia + 1 card. The real thing returns! If you need a real mobile phone today, it doesn't get any closer than that!

  • I bought nokia 101. where in contacts i am getting all my contacts double with to sims. Pls inform me in which setting i can choose one phone book no.

  • Which Nokia Care did you go? I went to NCC PGC Cililtan and they still don't have the updated firmware yet. Tq :-)

  • plz keep 1 hour in the water

  • f i got latest firm ware,the automatic loud speaker problem will b solved or not?

  • loudspeaker automatic activation problem? any 1 has this solution plzzzzzzz...

  • loudspeaker automatic activation problem? any 1 has this solution plzzzzzzz...

  • It does what it says, great call and sms. Awesome battery life, i think it could last a week or more, as i just got this phone recently. but note that i've saw some review stating that the early batch of the phone which came with the frimware version 6.30 or those pre v6.65 version are having auto restart problem and auto activation of loundspeaker during call (press *#0000# to check), but as stated you can updated to the latest firmware by going to the nearest Nokia Care Centre, but you have to check with them whether they have the update or not. Other than that this phone is great, in terms of keypad and physical design.UI wise the phone is also pretty pratical with features such as calender and torchlight right at your finger tips. Pretty good call quality and responsive UI and of course the awesome battery life. using this phone as a backup phone for my samsung android phone, just perfect. Does what it says. for this kinda phone you just dont expect data support such as GPRS, EDGE or even 3G, forget about bluetooth, is just not made in mind for that kinda purpose. if you want that kinda feature this is just not the phone for you. The only thing i hope it has is a micro usb port as the standard for charging port has been change the the universal micro usb and data transfer

  • I had SIM1 signal lost (recovered only after phone reset) and intermittent loud speaker automatic activation. I sent my phone to Nokia care in Hanoi for firmware upgrade to 6.65 this morning. Now SIM1 signal lost is automatically recovered. Hope that loud speaker works well either. So go for 6.65 fw upgrade guys.

  • Can we set mp3 ringtones ?

  • is the voice leakage fixed in latest firm ware ?

  • is the voice leakage fixed by software update? Is this phone better than nokia x1-01?

  • no java its not available

  • It's Not Java Applicable. and No way to Browse/manage files of the memory card

  • Hi I purchased 15 days back. DisAdvantage No DualStand by. Poor battary back up.(Up to 1 day even though i used bl-5b 1020mah 3.7v)

  • While using the mobile eco sound will came, after resetting the phone i will comes to normal otherwise eco sound is occuring while using the mobile.

  • Is it JAVA capable?

  • Its fine chief and best.......... thank you Nokia

  • well, that's how it should be.. this is what we get from a very very cheap phone. :) after 6.65's release i don't have anything against my 101/nokia.. btw, there are other phones out there that can satisfy the need, which are more expensive of course. :D

  • I think it should be like that. Its a sound alert. Lets say you are listening to the radio in loudspeaker mode. You put the mobile in your bed or in your table & you are a meter or more away from your phone. How would you know when someboday text or call you if the loudspeaker is deactivated? (unless of course the vibrator alert is on). I have this phone also. I also have n70 & even if the headset is connected to the phone, the mobile alert me thru the phone speaker when there is an incoming calls or sms. BTW, re this N101, i really hate the loudspeaker being automatically activated when I make or receive calls, it really annoys me. & the battery only lasts for 2 days with minimal usage.

  • I don't like it when using headset, the phone speaker will sound at the same time when receiving call/text. Only they suggested to me is that I must use profile SILENT which is useless while I'm using headset. ^_^ -they.can't.resolve -they.can't.fool.me -but.i.do.understand

  • it's good phone in that price range. pros: dual standby spreadsheet ....... corns 1.sometimes loudspeaker activates automatically while calling 2.slow for texting comapred to other basic devices 3.you will not have signal to other sim if u r in call with SIM1 @kumar: u can forward the song y pressing 8 and can rewind y pressing 2

  • in this mobile no battery backup.and signol strength is less.

  • I am not satisfied that phone. That phone was very bad. its restarting many times and automatically switch on loudspeaker.

  • Today i bought this phone, its really cool and have great stuff. Having external memory card support too. Its really best in class phone for this range for just Rs.1400/- only.

  • bad signal strength ... cmon ppl u cannot get everything perfect in just this cheap price ... phn model only cost 700 rs manufacturing cost 160 for charger and 150 for headphn... thats it they make complete price of 1300rs. in india..so plz dont expect that this compete nokia 1100 or something like any legendary phn...

  • Really cool features for such a low pricing. I got a Nokia 101 for a friend as a surprise gift and she loved it. The deal was bagged at deals.sulekha.com and the delivery was too prompt.

  • oya lucky this phone is released recently & how come on earth you r using this handset for two years dear.

  • May i even know how many contacts can we select at a time while messaging...?

  • well does this cell has any sort of problem like weak signal strenght or somewhat like that...? I m asking becoz dis is a cheap range product so frnz i wanna jst know ,are the parts okk or good ones...? The nokia c1 ,did not have any clearity and i used it for a month and found it had bad signal strenght so i even doubt regarding the signal strenght and clarity of this nokia 101 gadget frnz who used n loved dis set kindly express this phone well.... Becoz only i wanna know about does nokia 101 has good signal strenght and voice clarity ,hearing clarity even.

  • does dis set provides d proper clearity in hearing and speaking...?

  • I bought this handphone today. Actually it has many functions such as dual sim, talking clock, torch, T9 ect. .especially it supports khmer fonts. I can do texting with many languages. Before I used chinese dual sim and 3 sim phone but they are not working good (several problem). I am pleased if Nokia launch 3 sim phone in the nearest future.

  • what's bad???

  • Nice phone ! I like it too. Thanks to Nokia. .

  • i've used Nokia 101 for almost 2 months. This handset is good for its price range. Only loudspeaker turns on by itself sometime but i dont face any problem else. This phone supports multi-lingual by doing text, it has speaking clock, scheduled message, screening list, mp3. One more thing : we can set different tone for sim 1 and sim 2. It will be better if Nokia can release 3 sim phone because its very useful in our country (Asia).

  • these is avery bad...................

  • I'm from Indonesia,just bought it with the price IDR 285.000(29USD). I get the problem with the loudspeaker which automatically active when making/receiving a call. Checking *#0000# appears that the software version in 6.25 then I go to Nokia Care to request software update. After 1 hour waiting I get the new s/w version which is 6.65 and my nokia has no problem until now. I like this phone very much since it has many "smart feature" like scheduled sms,sms speed dial,call tracker(which is i can make time limit for a call),and screened number(which i can ignore any unwanted call&sms from my admirer lol..) Thanks Nokia.

  • Hi inday. yes, the unit is either a smuggled unit or of those rejected by the NTC. the problems you mentioned are the same problems of the Nokia 101 version 6.25. have you checked your firmware version? better if you have it be replaced with one which has NTC sticker. because you are not covered by Nokia Warranty in the Philippines if you do not have NTC sticker.

  • its a bad model, sound quality gud, 2 networks disconected to somany times

  • guys i thnk u need a Belle Update. Wait..nokia will surely provide the update.

  • i bought this yesterday here is my experice ... last mobile i used was n70(god of all time)...:D here my review abt phn this phone is mainly for the chit chatters class....and buyers who purchasing first time mobile or want to experice nokia ... WHY BUY... VALUE FOR MONEY (I ENSURE u will not regeret even if u use for 2-3 month) good batery life .... since mp3 supports via card slot so cant be bored by using this set if u alter sim or use sim for cheap call rates good keypad for messaging (160 chars in 45-50 sec presing speed ..:D) light weight... loudspeaker with refined sound quality(..not like china phn ewww...) good management of contacts and view simplified color grafics .. iensure u like (pixels corrected) ideal for gift to gf/bf or granparnts WHY NOT TO BUY u cannot delete or disable sent items in messaging u cannot delete songs once inserted card into phn (..very bad or no file manager type option) loudspeaker sometime automatic ativated..(bad for night call when mumma next to u ) not for buisness class pplz and tech freaks...(they need gprs or bluetooth :D) panic headphone nokia provides nowdays all headset same earphone (nokia saving 0.01$ without puuting foamed cover in ear speaker)

  • yes you may.. if you just read

  • with version .65? are you sure? problems like?

  • (fix)- Sorry, I misread some comments here. Hahaha. I thought v6.65 is the latest firmware where in my mind is v6.50. Yeah, mine is v6.65. as I stated, still has many problems that can't resolve by technicians. ^_^

  • hi may i know the internal memory of this phone? thank you ]

  • are you on the right mind? what do you expect from a very basic & cheap phone? are you crazy man? lols!

  • hey h0rhe, yes, it's essential to update your firmware my friend, it should solve all the issues you are facing. Nokia will not release an update for nothing after all! good luck! :)

  • dude, the battery in this cell-phone is BL-5C: the best battery in its series. if u'r getting only 1 day back up, sth is seriously wrong.. for instance, i get smwhr around 6-7 days back up, on a normal usage

  • Is this Dual standby?

  • Hi tanduay.ice! -Yes, I already check all settings. Even Nokia.Care.Center said it depends on profile settings. No, they cannot confuse me because I'm electronic technician so I definitely understood them, even they can't fix the hardware/software because it's Nokia-engineering problem. (nah, probably I don't want to touch the inside of it because it has warranty covered so they must fix and do the work). They said the only thing to solve it is to sent on silent mode which is useless to do that where I'm using a headset to privately monitor the sound even I'm at work place. -maybe this might be fix if I update it to v6.65.

  • i bought it from flipkart.com, battery backup is worst, i am getting 1 day and 5 hrs backup with basic usage, without using mp3 player, sms'es , flashlight. Plz let me know how much backup u r all getting

  • yes/

  • plz dont buy this: 1. it does not support usb 2. no bluetooth also u need to purchase card reader. 3. less sms storage capacity. 4.you cannot create folders to store messages. 5.u cannot forward or rewind songs while playing (this option is available in almost all mobiles) 6. difficult to search your songs. 7. not possible to download games 8.loud speaker problem. after having all these problems, is anyone ready to purchase? Its totally waste of money. you can go for samsung or other nokia mobiles. thnks

  • auto laudspeaker during recieve or you make a call!! help me!

  • no it is not standby... only one sim active

  • by the way sid, not having bluetooth in the this mobile contributes to making it this cheap. :) cheers!

  • i cannot be specific with the explanation.. if cellphone without Ntc sticker is running smoothly i don't see any problem for the buyer..but it is in their own risks as cellphone without Ntc sticker did not undergone gov't security and quality check.. ------------------------------------------------­------ "All legal phones from manufacturers and authorized dealers have a tamper proof label at the back of each mobile phone along with the NTC logo and a Type acceptance number as part of one sticker. WHY SHOULD MY CELLPHONE HAVE AN NTC SEAL? All phones should be NTC approved as NTC aims to monitor and control the legal entry and sources of mobile phones and regulate their importation, sale, purchase, possession and ownership." @inday, i also experienced issue with my headset.. but in my case the problem was not with the headset port but with the motherboard, along with the update ncc also replaced it.. after that voila! good luck!

  • houssemus, it is. here's a repost... "Dual standby Dual standby - When idle, ANY sim can ring (the can call you to any/either SIM). You only select the OUTGOING (calling) SIM. Dual standby means, that if you are talking to one sim (and for as long as you talk) the other SIM appears unreachable. You can fix that by enabling call forwarding when unreachable from one sim to the other.. (but you usually pay for the forwarding, unless you also disable call waiting to both sims and the other gets a busy tone) source: keysmith / www.gsmarena.com / posted 2012-01-26 22:52"

  • anonymous, you can choose dual sim or which ever sim you want to use in standby mode. not showing up on the screen tells sim is not activated. P.S. if you are using only one sim i advice you go for nokia 100, it's almost identical, only, carries single sim good luck!

  • mukundh, negative. 101 is running s30

  • hey abhi, yes, there is. you can play songs in background by hitting back/end call key while in music player.

  • hi Amit, before you go call and ask nokia care first if v .65 is already available in their branch so you wont be wasting time. good luck!

  • is it double standby?!

  • its gud basic phn with dual sim, also music player, bt just wnt bluetooth in ths, bt its gud one

  • If you are only using one SIM card in slot 1, is it possible to de-activate SIM 2 so it doesn't need to show up on the homescreen?

  • can i download games???

  • hi van..i just bought a nokia 101 last friday..it doesn't have an ntc sticker on it..is that ok..is that even legal..or can i go back to the store and request for a replacement instead?..anyway, loudspeaker automatically turns on and it seems to have a faulty headset port..i went back to the store to have it replaced and was advised to return if it happens again after giving me a new pair of earphones..tnx.. :)

  • is there music playback for this phone??? i mean the background playback of music...

  • is there music playback for this phone??? i mean the background playback of music...

  • to know the firmware version, when you check the phone before buying, press *#0000# and an information about the phone will be shown, including the phone's date of manucaturing. the firmware version is recognized by a 'V' sign.. example 'V 6.65' please be sure that a sim is inserted before pressing the key. Just an advice, before buying this unit. check first the firmware version. Thanks!

  • Hello, Is that phone has urdu langugae?

  • hello everyone,i have this phone and im happy using dis as secondary phone,no problem so far,i love dis phone,very comfortable to use,i owned galaxy y and this,contented:-)

  • how can i know the firmware in nokia 101?..

  • No. The unit has no USB port/connection.

  • Thanks Van. the unit i bought here in Baguio City, which i actually bought from Tiongsan, has no NTC sticker and firmware version 6.25. I am experiencing problems like auto restarting, sim 2 not active, loud speaker automatically turns on during call conversation. Where can I go to update its firmware version? Is your store updating firmware version of Nokia Phones? Thanks Man -Julie, 18, Baguio City

  • Hello. The unit sold here in the Philippines particularly in Baguio City has its firmware updated. it has also Filipino language as an option if you want to use our national language. Just make sure that when you buy the unit, it has National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) Sticker to be assured that what you are buying undergone testing and check up by the government. if it has no NTC sticker I advise that you look for others who has. Its firmware is v 6.65. I can attest to this because I own a store and I am an authorized Nokia dealer in the Philippines and I am using one of this. its very great phone but I was disappointed with the speaker, for better sounds, i recommend the use of a headset. in general, i rate this phone 8/10. Thanks and Mabuhay!

  • Does this phone have usb port and if it has, is it USB rechargeable?

  • i'm from delhi, india, battery back-up also seems okay for me! no loudspeaker issue also! nyway, will update the firmware from nokia care as i get time thanks tanduayice

  • hi Amit, what is your location? i haven't heard of the .30 version but what's important is that you are not experiencing any of the issues. to avoid any of it in the future it's advisable and essential that you update your fw. good luck!

  • Hi Amit! My fw version is also 6.30. I have only one bug - The automatic loudspeaker bug. No other issues.

  • Guys yesterday i bought nokia 101 from an online shopping site, but when i checked the firmware, it said "06.30" i really fail to understand which firmware this is???? this is not 06.25 and neither 06.65, but since yesterday, i havent faced ny problem as such!! please someone reply, do i need to update the firmware?? or should i stick to this 06.30 only?? please do reply thanking you

  • hey.. can you please tell me what are the differences between the 6.25 and 6.65? please help so i could have the of it... t y..

  • OK. Thanks.

  • yay, here's a repost... tanduayice > In reply to fiz @ 2012-01-25 11:15 from IT@d - click to read hi fiz, "sorry to say but there is no possible way to update your nokia 101 by your self as this phone does not have usb port. take it Nokia Care Center (NCC) nearest you and have them do it for you. just make sure you'll give them a call first for you to be sure that they already have the 6.65 version.." good luck!
