Family calls.
Made simple.

A home phone for six trusted people. Tap a face to call.

Concept rendering of Family Phone mounted on a wall in a warm home setting
01Six trusted people

Chosen and managed by a parent.

02One-tap calling

Large faces, names, and plain call states.

03No open internet

No games, social feed, ads, or app store.

Designed around the call

The contact faces are the product.

Family Phone stays in one place and focuses on family calls.

01

Everyone stays visible

Six parent-approved contacts. No scrolling or child-facing editing.

02

Plain from hello to goodbye

Clear states for ringing, talking, missed calls, voicemail and offline.

03

A calm fixture, not another screen

Wall-mounted, portrait and speakerphone-only.

Phone-assisted setup

From the box to “Hi, Grandma.”

Tested with Android and a working prototype. Plans, numbers and payments are still demonstrations.

  1. 1

    Match the nearby phone

    The shared phone shows a temporary six-digit code. The owner confirms that code in the Owner App.

  2. 2

    Connect home Wi-Fi

    The Owner App hands Wi-Fi information to Family Phone without displaying the password on the wall screen.

  3. 3

    Finish setup, then add family

    Finish the sample steps, then add people, photos and ringtones.

Fewer paths. Clearer boundaries.

Safety is designed into what isn’t there.

Children see trusted people and clear actions. Setup and controls stay with the parent.

  • Approved contacts only

    Unknown callers stay away from the child screen.

  • Parent-managed controls

    Parents manage people, Wi-Fi and calling choices.

  • Emergency confirmation

    The phone confirms before calling a chosen trusted contact.

Important: Family Phone is not a replacement for emergency services. The current emergency design does not call 911.

Questions, answered plainly

What families should know.

We’ll update these answers as the product moves from prototype to qualified hardware and service.

Current product information
Can I buy Family Phone today?

No. Family Phone is still in development and is not available for purchase. Pricing, release timing, and ordering have not been announced.

Why exactly six contacts?

The Gen 1 concept keeps all six parent-approved people visible at once. There is no scrolling or hidden contact list on the child-facing home screen.

Does the Emergency button call emergency services?

No. The current design uses a confirmation step and calls a trusted contact chosen by the parent. It is not a replacement for 911 or other emergency services.

Does it need a mobile app?

Yes. Parents use an app for setup and family contacts. Android setup has been tested with a prototype; iPhone setup is still in development. Neither app is available to download yet.

What happens to family information?

The prototype stores family information locally and uses an authenticated connection to synchronize approved contact changes between the Owner App and Tablet. Production cloud services and final privacy and retention terms are still being developed.

Built for everyday connection

Less screen.
More family.

Family Phone is being developed by Gigacircuit Inc. No purchase, reservation, or public pilot is currently offered.
