NOKIA 100
on: December 15, 2011, 08:22:41 PM
http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_100-4120.php

I just came home with this simple phone  :)
And I like it a lot  :tu:

And I will use it for some weeks and then it will go to the drawer as a backup phone and I will continue using my iPhone 3GS , at leest I wish I will , but I think I will use it until I get bored from it

I got for 99 AED (nearly 25$) from a phone store

Can you swap sim cards across platforms without a problem?

Can you use sim cards from different service/network providers. like T-mobile or Vodafone or Etisalat or DU in the same phone.

I guess you can tell that US carriers don't allow moving sim cards.  :-[

What I was wondering is, can you pull a SIM card out of an iPhone and have it work in an Android or Nokia handset seamlessly?

Do you mean putting two sim cards in the phone at the same time ?

No, one at a time, but from different carriers. Like if you buy a phone from Etisalat, can you put a sim cars from DU in it. (google tals me these are the only two mobile carriers in UAE)? Or if you use the phone in another country, can you put the sim card from another foreign carrier in your phone? Most european carrieres don't allow that, so I keep an old Samsung phone that can be unlocked by an IMEI code when I travel abroad for a longer period of time.

I thought about doing the same thing, so I have a phone I don't cry over if I lose/break it while doing outdoor activities, but there's no cheap phone that support HSPA and takes sim card.

I guess you can tell that US carriers don't allow moving sim cards.  :-[

As long as your phone is unlocked and support the signal band, I don't see why it would not work. ???

The only other issue would be if one of the phones uses a micro sim, which I thought the iPhone did.

Maybe the newer Nokia's do as well, which would allow an easy swap.

No , iPhone 3GS uses rigueler sim

Only iPhone 4 and 4s use micro sim

Micro SIM is the exact same card, but with less unused plastic around the chip.

Hey guys , I am back  :D
With my review of this phone

Pros :
Long battery life
Bright flashlight
It's simple  :gimme:
Great size

Cons :
The screen is colured :(  I wish it was black and white , because chronograph screens increases battery life
The flashlight is small :( I wish it was a little bigger and brighter
