Manufacturer's Description
The Nokia 1100 (dual-band GSM 900/1800) phone is a robust mobile phone that provides reliability and simplicity to first time users. The Nokia 1100 phone offers voice and messaging functionality and an affordable price.

Weighing 93 grams, the Nokia 1100 phone is small and lightweight and can be easily slipped into a pocket or a handbag. The phone design features anti-slip sides to provide a better grip as well as reduce the risk of dust and rain damage. The high-resolution black and white display (96 x 65 pixels) and keypad layout makes the phone intuitive and easy-to-use. Users can customize their display with a selectable font size and up to 4 lines of text. The large keys, two-way scroll and Navi" key make navigating the user-interface a breeze. In addition, the Nokia 1100 phone has a range of useful features like a stopwatch, alarm clock, flashlight, vibrating alert, and two built-in games. The long lasting battery gives users a talk time of up to 2 hrs to 4 hrs 30 mins and a standby time of up to 400 hours.

Messaging with the Nokia 1100 is fast and easy thanks to standard features like predictive text input and speed dial. Distribution lists facilitate sending the same message to multiple recipients at the same time. Users can personalize their Nokia 1100 phone with a wide range of interchangeable Xpress-on covers, as well as a variety of ring tones, operator logos and picture messages.

To enable operators to offer high quality voice services in a cost effective manner, the Nokia 1100 supports Adaptive Multirate (AMR)* speech codec. AMR is the fourth speech codec defined for the GSM system. It combines the benefits of Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) and Half Rate (HR) codecs as it both improves the voice quality and the capacity of the network to carry phone calls at the same time.

Customer Reviews

Great basic phone
I've read a few bad reviews about this phone which criticise its lack of features, but I think they've missed the point. A phone doesn't need to have a camera, video, colour screen, mp3 player etc...etc..., to be a good PHONE. If you rate this as what it is - just a phone with a few basic extras - it excells. It's very small and solidly built, inexpensive, very simple to use, and(thanks to a lack of power-hungry extra functions) has amazing battery life.
For me its simplicity is an advantage not a disadvantage and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a basic phone.

fantastically basic
Do you want a phone to make phone calls? If so then this is the baby for you!

I got one of these for my wife as she's a bit of a technophobe.
Also she never charges it but this has a quite outstanding 400hrs standby time.

Ohh and it also has a wee led torch on the top.

My experience with a virgin phone
I have only been in possession of two other phones, this is definitely the best I have had. It is easy to operate, the battery lasts for an amazing amount of time and I fully recommend it.
