Looking for Tin Can in the UK?
We were too. That's why we built Kite Phone.
Tin Can's "super-magical WiFi landline" is brilliant—but it only ships to the US and Canada. Kite Phone brings the same concept to British families: a real home phone for children, no smartphone required.
Same Idea, Made for the UK
A Real Phone, Not a Toy
HD voice quality. Physical handset. Calls to any UK number—mobiles, landlines, grandparents.
No Internet. No Apps. No Worry.
Works over your home WiFi but connects only to phone calls. Nothing else.
Stays in the House
A stationary phone means no loss, no theft, no playground pressure. When they leave the room, they leave the conversation.
