App and firmware need updates
This product would be much better if the app and firmware received some much-needed updates. (1) I think there’s supposed to be an indicator light on the phone if someone has left you a message? It doesn’t work, and there’s nothing in the app either. (2) Kids need more time to dial phone numbers than what the phone allows; if they’re not fast enough, the phone says the call can’t be connected. This is super frustrating for my 8-year-old. (3) Why are “missed calls” not indicated as incoming our outgoing in the app? They look exactly the same. (4) There are more - the volume is too low even when maxed out, there’s no way to change the ringtone, etc - but I’ll stop there. Nice product, needs work.

Tin Can is Lifechanging
We have had a tin can since last fall and my 11 year old uses it daily. It's in the living room and when it rings its so cute to see my younger kids rush to the phone to try and answer it first just like in the olden days. It has really kept my tween connected and given a lot of independence without having a smart phone. I feel like we could keep the no smart phone rule going for many more years all thanks to tin can. It's also super cute. Thanks so much for this great idea and making it happen!!!!!

Not enough stars possible
We could not love a product more. I originally purchased one for my kids and one for the out of town grandparents as a way of keeping in touch more often without using my phone. The kids (7, 5, and 3) took to it immediately and call almost daily. So I was already a big fan. Then this summer several friends also purchased and they began to call and get calls from peers. Some of the cutest/funniest conversations I have witnessed. I especially love the connection with our out of town friends. I have since purchased two more as gifts and plan to get more in the future for other families. I know the landline is not a new invention, but this new take is amazing. Perfect that it just uses the WiFi. For now we just have can to can but as our kids get older we will definitely add on the party plan.

My kids’ new favorite thing!
The Tin Can is nostalgia to the max… Remember how novel it was to hear a phone ring in the middle of the house and not know who was calling? My kids LOVE staying more connected to friends and family, and my wife and I love that it’s screen-free. It’s amazing how much more engaging conversations are with my kids when they’re not staring at a screen – total fame-changer. This has been one of the single best purchases we’ve made for our family in recent years. The phone, service, and app are all top-notch and the TC team has done a wonderful job pushing updates to continually improve the experience. I recommend the Tin Can to everyone and am grateful for this incredible and fun way to stay more connected relationally!
