The Nokia SIM manager allows users to select which SIM card to use to make a
call or send a text message helping them manage costs and maintain network
coverage without needing several phones. In addition, the SIM manager allows
users to store the settings of up to five SIM cards on the phone, and to
personalize them by assigning names and logos for each SIM setting.
In addition to an FM radio, the Nokia 101 features an integrated MP3 player and
a 103 phon loudspeaker, and provides support for up to 16 GB microSD memory
cards, allowing users to carry their entire music collection with them.
The Nokia 100 is perfect for people looking for durability and simplicity as
well as affordability when making calls and sending text messages. The Nokia
100 is Nokia's most affordable color display phone, and people can enjoy its new
attractive grid-based menu system with fun and easy-to-read icons. Furthermore,
the Nokia 100 features an FM radio, enabling users to tune into their favorite
music stations, whether on-the-go or at home.
