GET YOUR TIN CAN

The landline, reinvented for friends.

Let’s face it. You’ve been your kid’s secretary long enough. Tin Can gives them the independence (and confidence!) to connect with friends all on their own.

Approved contacts = no stranger danger.

Only the contacts you approve in the Tin Can mobile app can get through. No robocalls, no strangers, just voices you know and trust.

Party on (or off) with callable hours.

Don’t want the phone ringing off the hook at 10pm? Set Quiet Hours to prevent calls in and out, on your schedule.

“Best of all: They have completely stopped asking for a smartphone.”

“They are more thoughtful in how they speak, better at listening, and just more confident overall.”

“She was so excited when I told her that no, she doesn't have to ask before making a phone call.”

“Parents can control who calls in and out, set hours for use, and can add 911 as an option”

“Tin Cans are all the rage!”

Tin Can Chatter

"The families in our neighborhood are all on the Tin Can network. Now our 6-10 year olds are calling each other, setting up their own social time, and running from house to house as they go from one play date to another. We are so happy to be building community and delaying the demand for smartphones!"

- Sarah

"Tin Can gives younger kids the freedom to call their friends without asking an adult to use their cell phone and getting distracted by games or apps. They can make plans on their own, have conversations vs. face time just watching each other do something. Tin Can is just like the good ol days! Basic is best!"

- Andi

"Tin Can has been such a fun and positive addition to our household! My kids love the independence it gives them to connect with their friends or our extended family on their own."

- McKenzie

"We love Tin Can! Our 9 year old no longer asks about getting a cell phone because she can now connect with her friends and grandparents whenever she wants."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tin Can?

Tin Can is a screen-free, kid-friendly home phone that lets kids call and receive calls from approved contacts — giving them independence without the risks of smartphones or internet access.

Can Tin Cans call regular phone numbers?

If on the Party Line Plan ($9.99 / month) they can call anyone that you add as an "approved contact" in the mobile app. This includes external numbers (e.g. cell phones, landlines, etc). Additionally, they can call other Tin Cans that you approve; Can2Can calling is available on both the Partly Line Plan and the Can2Can plan (no monthly subscription required).

Can a Tin Can call other Tin Cans?

Yes! Whether you're on the free or paid plan, you'll be able to call other Tin Cans.

Can people call into the Tin Can?

Yes — anyone on the approved list can call your Tin Can (including approved external numbers if you have the Party Line Plan ($9.99 / month)

Does Tin Can support 911 calls?

Yes, you can enable 911 emergency calling from the Tin Can mobile app. You can also disable it if your kids aren't ready for this feature.

Is the Tin Can wireless?

Nope, sure isn't! And we designed it that way. Conversations are richer when we're not running around, and it also keeps Tin Cans away from the dinner table.

Does Tin Can need a landline or phone jack to work?

Nope — Tin Can looks like a classic landline, but it runs entirely on Wi-Fi — no phone jack required. Plug it in, connect it to Wi-Fi via the parent companion app available on iOS and Android and you're ready to ring.

What happens when quiet hours are turned on?

Quiet hours fully disable both incoming and outgoing calls. It's perfect for bedtime, study time, or anytime you want the phone to take a break. If you have 911 enabled, however, you'll still be able to dial 911 during quiet hours.

What is your return, refund, and/or exchange policy?
