Nokia New 1100 for Tracfone

I love this phone. Retro early 2000s kind of phone. Light and handy size. Good battery life, good signal. You need to call Tracfone customer service though, for a new sim card and to help you activate the phone (buy a prepaid card first before you call) Great back up phone for people with a smartphone, or a main phone for people who have low phone usage, and just does a couple of text messages or a couple minute calls a day.

The product turns on, but if you are looking for a device to actually use, keep scrolling. You cannot call or text with these phones.

I've had this phone for eons---at least 10 years, more like 12. My Nokia 1100 has been dropped many times where the back flies off and the battery flies out. It just keeps on working. No cracks or breaks. This thing has been dropped on cement more than once!! I just quit using it a week ago because I wasn't getting text messages sent from newer phones. It would come through as unreadable with the numbers 11001010 or something similar and I couldn't see who it was from either (if anyone knows how to remedy this, please tell me so I can go back to using this one!). This is my favorite phone. I also have a Samsung SGH-S425G and most recently added the Samsung Galaxy Stardust (all through Tracfone). The reason I like this Nokia 1100---I can text without ever looking at it because of the raised buttons. People with smart phones like to tell me that their phone has word prediction, which is when I get to tell them that this one does too! (Just gotta read the manual to see how to press the buttons once while spelling to get a list of suggested words). My smart phone takes me longer to do everything because it has too much stuff on it. With this one, I can make a call with 3 button presses, maybe 2. Not so on newer phones with more menus. If it weren't for needing to get text messages (work), I'd totally still be using this phone!!!!!

The best phone I have used say 10 years back and when I saw a new one wanted to have it. You cant go wrong with this phone as a basic phone.

came with no sim card not in the box like the picture, don't waste your time with this

I'm still using one of these as my phone. It has great battery life, and works pretty much everywhere I go. The one exception is my sister's house, but then nobody's cell phone can seem to get a decent signal there. I don't text, so having something that is just a phone is perfect for me. It does have one special feature, there is an LED flashlight built into the top end of the case. That light has come in handy on a number of occasions. Personally I like the Tracfone service. I pay around $99 a year for the service and I've purchased the double-minute card so that I get twice the minutes. Minutes accumulate as you go. It's too bad they quit selling this model.

I have had my 1100b for several (>5) years and it was a cast off from my wife who used it for a couple of years before it became mine. I plan on keeping it until it becomes unusable. The phone is simple,no camera, monochrome display and some simple games. It is very sturdy and has exceptional battery life between charges. For more details see the wikipedea article on it. I do not use my phone very much so trac phone works well for me. To put it simply: a pay as you go set up like trac phone is good if you want to HAVE a cell phone but don't plan on USING it all the time. It is a cheap way to have one availible but could get expensive if you do not manange your minutes or if you use the phone alot like some people seem to do.

I used to have a Nokia 1100. They are simplistic, indestructible and have near infinite battery life. (I often charged it like once every other week!) They are primarily made for sale in developing countries. As for Tracfone, I have no idea.
