The details

What's in the box

One Dial Tone handset with its coiled cord and USB-C plug attached. Nothing else to set up.

How it feels

About 8.7 in (22 cm) long, the size of a real phone handset. Tuck it between your ear and shoulder and keep stirring the sauce, or twirl the springy cord around your finger like you used to.

Nothing to charge, nothing to pair

No battery, no Bluetooth, no app. Plug it in and it works. The volume buttons are right on the handle.

The three colors

Slumber Party Pink, Party Line Red and Disco Blue. Same matte, slightly soft-touch finish on all three.

Shipping and returns

Free shipping. Your order arrives in 5 to 8 business days, with tracking. Not for you? Send it back within 30 days for a full refund.

Will it work with my phone?

USB-C: yes

โœ“ USB-C: yes

Turn your phone over and look at the charging port on the bottom edge. If it's a small, flattened oval, you're all set: the handset plugs straight in. That's every iPhone from the 15 onward and almost every Android phone.

โœ• Lightning: not yet

A slim, flat slot on an iPhone, from the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 14 and every iPhone SE. This handset doesn't work with Lightning phones yet, so please check your port before you order.

Remember stretching the cord all the way into the pantry?

Same coiled cord. Same weight in your hand. The only difference is that now it plugs into the phone you already have.

She went quiet for a full minute

I gave the pink one to my mom for her birthday. She held it, didn't say a word, then told me she had the exact same color on her kitchen wall in 1978. Best gift I've given her in years.

So easy my mom figured it out alone

My mom is 74 and not great with technology, so I was nervous. She plugged it in, answered her first call and hasn't stopped using it since. No settings, no app, nothing to set up.

Works with my iPhone 15

I was worried it wouldn't work with my phone. Plugged it straight into my iPhone 15 and that was it: no app, no Bluetooth, nothing to charge. Just check your phone has the USB-C port first.

Not cheap plastic at all

I expected something flimsy for the price. It has a nice soft matte finish and a bit of weight to it, so it actually feels like a real phone handset.

I can finally cook and talk

I call my daughter every Sunday while I make dinner. Now I tuck it between my ear and shoulder and keep both hands free, like I used to. My phone stays dry on the counter.

The cord is the best part

Caught myself twirling the cord around my finger on the first call and laughed out loud. It stretches all the way across my kitchen and springs right back.

Questions before you pick up

Which phones does it work with?

Any phone with a USB-C port: iPhone 15 and newer, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and most other Android phones. It doesn't work with iPhones that have a Lightning port (iPhone 14 and older, and every iPhone SE).

Does it need charging or pairing?

No. There's no battery and no Bluetooth. It draws what it needs from your phone the moment you plug it in.

Can I charge my phone while I'm using it?

Not at the same time, because the handset uses the charging port. Top up before a long call.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping is free and takes 5 to 8 business days, with tracking. For Christmas, order by December 8.

What if it's not for me?

Send it back within 30 days for a full refund.

It's for you.
