Quiet Hours

Made for Kids

Say hello to friends & family, goodbye to strangers.

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

Want our Party Line Plan? You'll be able to add external contacts with regular phone numbers to your approved list.

Folks with the free Can2Can Plan can add and approve contact requests from other Tin Cans.

Both the Party Line Plan and the Can 2 Can plan support 911 calling.

No phone jack, no hassle.

Plug in, use the app to connect to Wi-Fi, and pick up the receiver to hear a real dial tone. It's like time travel, but easier.

Lights out = Tin Can off.

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

A phone they can call their own.

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. So that play date back-and-forth? They totally have it covered. Score!

There are Two Tin Can Plans, Man.

Tin Can supports calling other Tin Cans for free, and regular phone numbers with our Party Line Plan. Both plans support 911 calling.

Tin Can is the new-school landline for friends. And parents. And grandparents. And maybe your cool aunt. But yeah, definitely for friends.

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?
