It works, with caveats.

Works with caveats

Calls and texts can fall back to 2G. EE starts switching 2G off from May 2029. It supports 4G Calling, but we haven't found confirmation that it's enabled on EE. Its 4G bands aren't published, so we can't confirm 4G data.

Fine for now. The catch is how calls get through: if they ride on 2G or 3G, they stop when EE switches that off.

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

EE (UK)

  • 3G: Switched off (completed 2024)
  • 2G: Staying on for now; EE says it will start switching 2G off from May 2029

Nokia 105 4G 2nd Edition

  • 2G: GSM 900 / 1800
  • 3G: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1700/2100 (AWS) MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz
  • 4G bands: 4G LTE (bands not published by GSMArena)
  • 4G Calling: yes – Listed in HMD's VoLTE-verified product list (TA-1691).

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