Our super-magical WiFi landline for kids. It doesn’t have apps, texting, or games—just real conversation with friends, neighbors, Grandma, or whoever you add to your approved contact list.
And anyone not on that approved list, like strangers or scammers, can’t reach your Tin Can.
Tin Can comes with free, unlimited calls to other Tin Cans, no subscription needed. It also includes 1 free month of our Party Line Plan, so you can talk with approved contacts who have regular phones.

Features
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!
