Nokia 225 4G 2.4-Inch UK SIM-Free Feature Phone (Dual SIM) – Black

Lovely phone, really easy to set up and great price

Bought this for my brother who had Nokia phones on the 2G/3G network that stopped working. He's so happy to get the same type of phone on the 4G network. Amazing phones for those who can't manage smartphones.

I've bought this to replace my (much loved) Sony Ericsson Cedar 2G/3G keypad phone which I've kept in my shirt pocket for at least 10 years. It is slightly heavier than the Cedar (90 g vs 87 g) and fractionally bigger - but unlike the Cedar it does not have email. But 4G is the future and this phone has the benefit of 4G voice (voice over LTE). 4G LTE coverage is now becoming very good and all the networks are using 800 MHz band which provides much better range and penetration than the higher frequency bands (1800 MHz 2G EE and 2100 MHz 3G). One needs the right SIM of course and Three network seems to have the most widely available VoLTE capability. My Three PAYG SIM supports VoLTE on the phone. Also, surprisingly my Sky (O2) provides VoLTE so I have both SIMs in this phone which is Dual SIM. With two 4G idle modes the battery life is not very good - I think perhaps only a day or two - but I'll put up with this for the superior 4G (+3G and 2G) coverage and excellent VoLTE voice quality - and because it seems to be the optimum size (not too large like a smartphone or too small) and weight to fit in the palm of the hand when talking for long periods. Postscript I have switched to Nokia 110 because I prefer its user interface - in particular the 110 allows texts to be forwarded unlike the 225

Just needed a phone for calls and texts, a decent phone, with a good reputation, nokia seemed the way to go. Unfortunately, there is so much wrong with the handset, fundamentally flawed with a OS that's confusing, and software that doesn't work properly. Texting is terrible, the messages do not appear in order and are mysteriously regularly rearranged without anyway of undoing it.

This is no better than a basic backup phone, save your cash and just buy the cheaper 105 or 106. If you need little more than a no frills phone but with 4G and a basic camera this phone is for you. The good Decent when making a phone call, clear and loud enough. Predictive text - Thankfully it has this feature, many backup phones from other manufacturers do not. Backlit keypad - Good for night use. Camera - Compared to my smartphone this takes photos lightning quick. It is much lower resolution however. The bad Bad screen - Terrible viewing angles, dim, poor definition. Gloss finish - The entire front of the phone (screen, keypad etc) is a really bad finger print magnet. It looks awful. Poor quality speaker - Distortion can be heard when simply listening to the built in ringtones with higher pitch. Software - Less options than a Nokia 206 circa 2012. Can't edit all the shortcuts, can't increase the text size - rubbish for a phone in the elderly category on Amazon. It also can't import contacts without issues, creating multiple duplicates for contacts with more than one number for example (ie. Mobile, Landline, Work). Camera - Inexplicably the flash the the camera is missing but they put a torch on the top of the phone instead. This makes no sense as it can't be used to help illuminate photos.

It seems wonderful at first with lots of good features and easy to use. However, battery has vey short life and callers consistently can't get through to me. I've changed network but it seems to be a phone issue. Less than six months with this and I've had to replace it.

I wanted a phone that is easy to set up and use and this one does that. I didn’t want a Smart phone so this one is perfect for texting, phone calls and has a bright torch too. It’s cheap so if it gets damaged I haven’t wasted too much money.

looks nice feels nice easy to navigate around a very nice mobile

El telefono esta perfecto, solamente el idioma, el Español no lo tiene. Con lo cual es un problema importante.

Pas de français dans les instructions La batterie se décharge très rapidement même sans utilisation Dommage

Très bien pour le 1er gsm pour un enfant
