Nokia 106 all carriers 4GB Dual Sim 2018 Dark Grey With LED Torch - FM Radio - Big Button Phone

The Nokia 106 is exactly what a basic phone should be: reliable, easy to use, and built to last. If you’re looking for something straightforward without all the distractions of a smartphone, this is a brilliant choice. The interface is clean and intuitive, the buttons are responsive, and everything works exactly as expected with no fuss. It’s ideal as a backup phone, a work phone, or for anyone who prefers simplicity. The standout feature is definitely the battery life. It lasts for days on a single charge, even with regular use, which is something you just don’t get with modern smartphones. It’s incredibly reassuring to have a device you don’t need to constantly monitor or plug in. The charging is quick, and the phone holds its charge very well even on standby. Call quality is clear, the signal reception is strong, and the Dual‑SIM option is genuinely useful for travel or managing work and personal numbers. The build quality feels solid and durable, with that classic Nokia toughness that can handle being dropped or thrown in a bag without worry. The size and weight make it comfortable to hold and easy to carry. It also includes the classic features you’d expect — torch, FM radio, and of course, Snake — which add a bit of nostalgia and practicality. Everything runs smoothly, and the phone does exactly what it promises.

Rubbish!!! I bought for an elderly relative whose original nokia finally broke, but she finds the phone too small, the buttons are too small, its too hard to use the buttons that have more than one function especially the middle one - some of the buttons you have to tap the edges to do different things - and one button is dedicated to setting the alarm clock - why? And why put it where most Nokias have the end-call button? Its been thrown in the bin where it belongs - dont buy it, its tiny, takes ages to charge up and the sound quality is tinny and echoes your voice. Absolutely Rubbish

Ideal for emergency,backup

Why did you choose this product over others?: I just chose it as a phone I'm familiar with. However the phone has T9 dictionary but it does not switch on, very disappointed but the description didn't state anything about the T9 so be aware of that if you buy this item....

Main button a bit dodgy but great for an occasional burner phone. As per all old Nokias it's battery will outlast us all

Used this as a backup for site work and travel. Dual SIM setup’s handy for separating work and personal calls. Buttons are big and easy to press—even with gloves—and the screen’s clear enough for quick checks. Battery life’s proper—lasts days on standby and handles calls without draining fast. FM radio and LED torch are actually useful, especially on night shifts or outdoor jobs. No touchscreen faff, just clean, reliable function. Perfect for drivers, site workers, or anyone who wants a no-nonsense phone that won’t let them down. Minor gripe: no camera or internet, but that’s the point—keeps you focused and off the grid. 👍 Pros ✅ Dual SIM—great for work/personal split ✅ Long battery life—days on standby ✅ Big buttons—easy to use with gloves ✅ Built-in torch and FM radio ✅ Lightweight and durable 👎 Cons ❌ No camera or internet access ❌ Basic screen—not ideal for long texts ❌ Limited storage—just for contacts and SMS

The middle button is absolute rubbish. Impossible to know which key will register, up down or right. Left doesn’t work at all on mine! It has a rubber membrane on top, designed to be imprecise apparently. If you insist on buying a feature phone like this, get one with a solid plastic middle button. This was designed to be disposed of and binned. The battery compartment is also made of stiff plastic, designed to break nails. A once great brand known for quality is now absolute rubbish. How were they producing flawless products 20 years ago and now produce this?

I was a bit skeptical about buying this at first, as some other reviews said it had a poor battery life, and the middle button was playing up. However, I have not had these issues, and find it perfect as a back up phone. Yes, when you unplug it from charging it shows the battery bar go down slightly, but it stays like that for 3 days before going down again. I keep it switched on 24 hours a day, and it takes a full week before it needs recharging again. The middle menu button just takes some getting used to. You have to be gentle with it and it works perfectly fine. If you lose your temper with is you will get even more frustrated. Over all though, I cannot praise this little phone enough.
