Does the Nokia 105 4G (2023) work on Telekom?

Last checked 23 Oct 20266 sourcesWorked out from published specs

Mostly, with a catch.

Works with caveats

Calls and texts can fall back to 2G. Telekom plans to switch 2G off completely by 30 June 2028. It supports 4G Calling, but we haven't found confirmation that it's enabled on Telekom. Its 4G bands aren't published, so we can't confirm 4G data.

It works today, but calls on the Nokia 105 4G (2023) rely on a part of Telekom's network with a switch-off on the way. Check the dates below before you commit for years.

We worked this out from the phone's published bands and Telekom's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.

Telekom (Germany)

  • 3G: Switched off in 2021
  • 2G: On until 30 June 2028, when Telekom plans to switch it off completely

Nokia 105 4G (2023)

  • 3G: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1700/2100 (AWS) MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz
  • 4G bands: 4G LTE (bands not published by GSMArena)

The same applies to networks that run on Telekom: congstar. Smaller networks sometimes handle 4G Calling differently, so check with them too.
