Nokia 106 - User Reviews

  • 35 Day Battery Life.

  • used it once

  • You need a manual to use this ahahaha

  • Since then, Nokia has never released a Series 30 phone.

  • Game Boy Color? Never in my life have I heard anyone ask such a weird question!

  • 384KB memory? Huh, that's weird!

  • Keeps showing mobile registration failed even though previously it was working ok, why is this?

  • I still have mine! I've not used it since 2016 but just powered it on and it's still going strong!

  • can we play gbc in this phone

  • perfect phone for calls and texts. had some terrible falls with it but it stands strong

  • how can i unlock my nokia 106?

  • I use it mostly to play games on

  • no USB

  • would like to inquire.. is this model have auto answer setting.. tq

  • A great little simple phone with good battery life (and no frills) but the volume is not very high so it's difficult to hear on some calls - just be aware that it is 2G only so cannot be used by the operator "3" because (as "3" tells me) they do not supply 2G coverage.

  • hi every one the 106 i dont think myou can get a better phone the that i love it

  • LMAO!!!

  • Best review 2K15

  • Is it even possible to connect the nokia 106 to a pc, or laptop in order to get more ringtone or something, or is it limited to what is only on the phone

  • Personally think the vibration on the Nokia 106 is incredible, you can really feel the vibrations on your leg which is slighly arousing to be honest, also love how small it is cause i really like small things eg soap bars and marbles

  • This phone is crap, and the support, ie a decent manual, seems to be non existent. I would not recommend it to anyone. It would probably be ok if I could get hold of a more detailed manual than the useless user guide that comes with the phone and seems to be the only one available online. Microsoft's so called "support" is rubbish, like most Microsoft products.

  • I have buy this phone already, when i buy this phone i my expectation is have long live battery because in specifications the battery stand by can up to 840 h. but my battery live only one weeks

  • I think i'ts the best for second phone.

  • It is incredibly good value for money and is very lightweight. It also automatically glows in the dark once turned on and I have never heard of it getting broken. The features are very good and incredibly trustworthy and it allows for customization.

  • Very disappointed. Volume level is so low I cannot use without speakerphone. If put phone down too hard the flashlight comes on. Installer had bit of trouble getting SIM to boot. To small and lightweight.

  • Does anyone know what the calendar is like e.g. is there a limit to how many appointments that can be stored, does it allow for recurring appointments. Thank you.

  • well sexy you need a top up

  • C ant acsess puk no help please

  • Samsung Galaxy Y

  • I just got a Nokia 106 and it says emergency calls only when I've inserted my vodaphone sim. Also it says Demo down the bottom left corner, is this normal? Because it doesn't let me go to settings or anything.

  • Are you from NZ? spear phone..made me giggle

  • Love the nokia 106 just exchanged my sony z3 for one cause these are a lot better except it doesnt have snapchat so no more selfies :/

  • You can't

  • Who said that this phone supports java ? It doesn't has any micro SD card slot and no gprs :(

  • It doesn't has any internet connectivity and how would your friends go to internet on this device ?

  • Does this phone have Call Blocking? Is that what the Call Screening means on the display as a option for a received call?

  • How do I go on internet a friend has the szame phone and can go on internet!?

  • You press on the one for a long time the listen!

  • It's a really good phone it works fine it is my phone till I get my new be because it's broke then after its a spear phone

  • Oh ! why can it support java but doesn't support gprs/micro sd? How to install java apps ?

  • How do you get your voice mail

  • can anyone suggest me how can I unlock this phone?

  • Yes, you can use it in major European cities.

  • unreal sham best phone ever

  • Nokia 106 is my replacement phone in case my smartphone is broken or stolen, so I don't use it much. It has an excellent filter - even if a train goes by, it's hardly heard on the other side :) For me the only downside is rather quiet speaker (calling in noisy places is rather hard) without regulation.

  • Just want to unlock it so I can use it with giff gaff sim!

  • This phone works well for basic calling and texting, but only stores 200 messages and the texts aren't in a threaded view so you have to flick between messages to find the one you want. The flashlight is a useful tool but isn't as bright as some others. The phone is quite lightweight. The radio works well. Battery lasts generally last between 3-6 days depending on usage.

  • Can I use it abroad

  • If its a push in clip i used the tip of nail clippers to hold clip in and then pushed the back cover off or the sharp end of a nail file. When battery goes it expands and can make getting the back cover off more difficult. Not sure if this phone has the same cover type as my old nokia phone.

  • I have a new Nokia 106 with an old SIM card When I type in a number that's not in my phone or not saved, but has been phoned from my sim before and I type this number in for the first time (that I know about)and go to call history it comes up I have phoned this number before is this coming up from my SIM card or phone??

  • hi just press the back logo and drag the cover to yourself (upper half), it will open. regards

  • I just got a new unit and I am finding a hard time opening it. Can somebody suggest how to open the back

  • I need a decent but low price phone as in my city phones get snatched a lot. So how is Nokia 106, I need it for calling and texting

  • where is the usb input ? thx for info

  • how did u eventually opened it?

  • as mentioned above,it support java but it have no gprs so,how we download java apps

  • So which phone you suggest in same price with no voice leakage and good battery time?

  • Nokia 106 its a great phone i have white coloured nokia 106 its a value for money it has got radio and speking clock thats why its awesome plz buy this phone it has a long lasting battery i am very happy with my nokia 106

  • Does anyone have the product codes for it.

  • 150 or 200 SMS. No threaded view.

  • Woi how can phone rm 80 can had wifi. If u want u open your own company and i will buy 1000pcs by price rm80/phone! Poodah!!

  • smart phone nokia 106

  • good set of nokia 106

  • good set of nokia 106

  • voice leak is sometimes use espetially in crowded area@@buses,mall. This phone is special for garage peoples, day workers, and so on... Many peoples are not using headphones.so those who want speak some secret so buy different phones.

  • Please go to Samsung E1207

  • this phone hav punjabi typing..

  • Yes they provided Headphones...

  • battery is only 800 mah... not too good . this is not an awesome phone.... plzzz dont buy this at olll i request you to all

  • ROLF !! Completely laughing at you.. !! China is still miles away from A Finnish Product Quality.. !! i dont think you have ever tried a Finnish/German Designed PRoduct manufactured in India !! the nokias/Blackberry which you might have used must be all from china .. !!

  • Yeah bor, Made in India is Truly rubbish, The Chaina Made is Good

  • Hi frndz, plz tell me in this earpiece present or not for hearing of callz.

  • Taking 1400 and not giving earphones. Rubbish...

  • voice leek problem in this set plz not buy this set buy 108 108 have no voice leek problem call voice leek from back speker in 106 poor fone

  • Can any one tell me that this model have also voice leakage problem? If not then i am going to buy it otherwise not.

  • very poor fone voice leak from back not good signal week signal resp. Nokia new low price set is not good nokia plz made 2310 and 1112 type great sets.i have nokia 2310 my 2nd mobile.2310 is a great signal and no voice leak.

  • Please listen to all the negative reviews. There are cheap phones out there that do the job quite nicely (calls/texts etc) but this one certainly does not. If you can get the back off you deserve a medal. I have used other cheap phones (£9.99) and the signal has been very acceptable. Again this Nokia goes out of its way to be the worst in every department and it succeeds. AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

  • Complete rubbish. Made in India from cheap and nasty plastic materials. Almost impossible to get the back off to insert battery and sim card. I wanted a very basic phone to replace a previous Nokia basic that I had lost - I got a piece of rubbish from India. Stay away from this 106 and spend a bit more to get quality. I will bin it to-morrow and check out other models/manufacturers in the shops rather than the provider. Chicken George

  • is this mobile have voice leakage problem ??? please tell me.

  • If this phone having back speaker then it is bad. Back speaker phones having voice licking problem.

  • Finaly, Nokia knows that many people need such like this phone. Simple with multitab keyboard. Perfect for Indonesia rural market.

  • "In the past" is 1/3 of the world population.This part of the world needs Nokia and nokia needs them.

  • This is stupid we are moving forward not backwards. Y won't Nokia produce a phone with dual sim,browser, flashlight,USB,Bluetooth and all?

  • Voice leakage problem ???

  • When will this mobile release?

  • SAR value??

  • call recording was the handset feature so it not support to call recording because of mamory was low and the micro sd card was not support

  • its just a simple basic mobile.

  • its good mobile but the call record facilty is not availble on that phone so you can not have to write about that

  • not a bad entry level phone.battery life for me has been a week of ave use .not sure it will do 14 days of low use.reception is ok but build quality could be better

  • hi the galaxy note is a smartphone and you cant compare it to any nokia.the 106 is for basic use only but has a decent battery life.the note is a very good phone

  • This is a good example how Nokia is far from present world...they stayed in the past.

  • 1280 model is far more better than this phone.

  • what is the SAR value of Nokia 106?

  • Thanks, even for the nokia 105 they said it has micro usb charging but i have seen the phone first had and it has no usb port as all ..

  • In European Union, the law says that all phones and other electronic equipment must have MicroUSB chargers. Except one.

  • Can anyone let me know does this phone also having loudspeaker/audio problem during calls like other nokia cheap phones..?? m not seeing any loudspeaker at its back

  • I am waiting for galaxy note 3 which was announced at 4 September 2013 you friends please guide me which phone to buy Nokia 106 or galaxy note 3 which specification and software system better thanks waiting your reply best regards Khurram shahzad

  • If she thinks that Nokia phones can easily be mistaken at the top of his cell phone because everyone will be destroyed rather old-fashioned phone android phone buys

  • Does this phone really have a micro-usb port to charge the phone ??

  • well an update of l09 but not really so...update of 1280 tis better...a budget phone? a back-up phone? same audio problem?...tell me soooh?

  • good luck finding that phone in any stores and if you actually found one, good luck finding accessories for that phone

  • Very good , must have introduced more features

  • LOL! The old Nokia 7210 Supernova is better than this.

  • ah?

  • So I'm seeing conflicting information. Nokia's English-language "global" website lists ONLY 900/1800 MHz for BOTH the 106 and 107, while the Chinese-language Nokia blog post announcing them (Google translated), lists 900/1800 AND 850/1900 MHz for BOTH the 106 and 107.

  • Nokia's website says the 106 only runs on GSM 900/1800 (dual-band).

  • The phone looks great except for the battery.

  • Hope this Phone will not have any sound leakage problems.Those time whether it is RM100 phone or RM1000 the telephony and messaging functions will be on par,just the extra money charged for all the goodies packed with the much expensive phones.But now all had changed.
