How it works

  1. Get your number

    Pick from available numbers, or we'll assign one.

  2. Plug in the phone

    We're planning a cute retro-style handset for home. We set up the number.

  3. Choose your people

    Add family and friends on a simple admin page. Change it anytime.

Their own line

  • Grandparents, cousins, best friends: you pick the list.
  • Rings only the house phone, with its own special ring.
  • Never rings your cell. The kids answer their own calls.
  • Kids will be able to call Grandma on their own: only numbers you approve, plus simple speed dials.

“That's Grandma's ring! I'll get it!”

Made for picking up

  • Your people ring straight through to the house and your cells.
  • Urgent callers can get through with your family PIN, like a kid who lost their phone.
  • Spam doesn't ring through. When it rings, it's someone worth answering.
  • One number for school, doctors & coaches. It rings the house and your cells.

Questions

Is the $5 really refundable?

Yes. Email hello@hellohellophone.com anytime before service starts and we'll refund all $5.

Does joining the waitlist cost anything?

No. It's just your email. We'll write when we're ready to set up your family, and you can ask us to remove you anytime.

When does it ship?

In small batches, in waitlist order. We'll email before anything ships or bills, and we won't charge for equipment until we can give you a real date.

Does it work with our cell numbers?

Yes. Keep your own cells and carriers. Your family number rings your cells, plus the house phone.

Does my kid need a smartphone?

No. Grandparents and friends call the kids' line, and it rings the house phone.

What equipment do I need?

We're planning a cute retro-style phone kit, sold at about cost. We'll share the details before anything ships or bills.

What if we move?

Your number isn't tied to your address. Bring the phone and update your details on your family's settings page.

Can it call 911?

We'll explain exactly how emergency calling works, including its limits during power or internet outages, before you're ever billed.

Built for our own kitchen

“I wanted a phone our two little ones could run to, one that rings for the people we love, like Grandma and Grandpa in New Jersey. So I built one for our house. Now we'd like to build yours.”
