Kids Home Phone

Everything your child needs to stay connected – nothing they don't.

Four digits, not eleven

Emma dials 1003 to reach her friend Mia. No memorising full phone numbers. No asking mum every time.

Simple 4-digit extensions for friends

Group calls, not group chats

Three friends on one call, planning Saturday's adventure. Real voices. Real laughter. No screenshots.

Conference calling built in

Emergency & approved numbers

Grandparents. School friends. Emergency services. If they have a phone number, your child can call them.

Full UK & international calling

Tried & Tested

Reliable technology made simple for families.

Secure Communications

TLS encryption for call signalling, SRTP for voice traffic. Same security as FaceTime or WhatsApp calls.

HD Voice Quality

Crystal-clear wideband audio. Better than traditional copper landlines.

Parent Portal

Web-based dashboard to manage contacts, view call logs, and configure settings.

Generous Inclusive Minutes

Call any UK landline (01, 02, 03) or mobile (07) number. No per-minute charges.

Intentional Limitations

Kite Phone is a home-based landline. By design, it does not provide:

Mobile/portable calling
Video calling
Text messaging or SMS
Internet access
Apps or downloads
Camera or photos

These limitations are features, not bugs. They're what make the service safe for children.
