Скачать или смотреть Tin Can Phone for Kids: What I Wish I Knew (Returning It)

I bought the Tin Can “home phone for kids” (Wi-Fi-based) because I loved the idea of having a simple, dedicated phone at home for the kids. After using it, we’re returning it.

Here’s what I wish I knew before buying:

It’s not wall-mount friendly (no mounting points + no clip/cradle to hold the handset)

The cord is heavy and pulls the handset around, so it won’t stay put on a counter/table

USB-C power connection doesn’t stay seated well in the base when the phone is handled regularly

There’s about a 1-second delay in the voice system

The buttons aren’t reliable—kids press them and think it didn’t register (frustration level goes up fast)

I still love the concept of a kids home phone—we’re just going to look for a company that executed it better.

If you’ve used this phone (or you’ve found a better alternative), drop it in the comments.
