Does the Nokia 105 (2023, 2G) work on 1&1?
It works, with caveats.
Works with caveatsCalls and texts work over 2G, but this is a 2G-only phone with no mobile data. 1&1 has no 2G of its own and uses Vodafone's 2G through national roaming, which ends in September 2028, and then it will stop working.
Fine for now. The catch is how calls get through: if they ride on 2G or 3G, they stop when 1&1 switches that off.
We worked this out from the phone's published bands and 1&1's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.
1&1 (Germany)
- 3G: No 3G network
- 2G: No 2G of its own: uses Vodafone's 2G via national roaming, so Vodafone's September 2028 date applies
