One phone number. All your family’s devices.

Kids can make calls from the devices they already use, without needing their own phone number or borrowing yours.

Your family's number on the devices you already own.

    Ringing

When school calls, both parents can answer.

No more deciding whether school should have Mom's number or Dad's number. Give them your Home Phone number and the call can ring both parents at the same time.

Whoever is available can answer. If one parent is in a meeting, driving or simply misses the call, the other parent still has a chance to pick up.

    Available to join

A family call shouldn't belong to one person's phone.

When grandparents, relatives or family friends call your Home Phone number, everyone you've allowed can hear it ring. Whoever is available can answer.

And just like picking up another handset years ago, other family members can join the conversation.

One family number. No guessing which parent to call first.

Let them call. You choose who.

Children don't need unrestricted calling just because they need a way to reach the people they know.

Contacts Only limits outbound calls to saved household contacts. Add parents, grandparents and other trusted people and those are the numbers they can call.

Questions families ask

Straight answers about the shared household number, kids on their own devices and parental controls.

Does the shared household number ring and can family members call from it?

Yes. Incoming calls to your shared household number ring every device you choose. Each family member can answer those calls and place calls from their own account on their own phone or tablet.

Can kids answer and make calls from their own tablet?

Yes. When the household number rings their tablet they can answer and they can place calls themselves so they never need to borrow a parent's phone to talk to family.

Do quiet hours lock the whole house out of calls?

No. Quiet hours are a parental control for kids. They stop calls and notifications for that child. Adults keep their normal access.

Does Home Phone include video calling?

No. Home Phone is for voice calling only. It does not include FaceTime or video calls.

Home Phone includes a three-day free trial then costs $9.99 per month per household. One subscription covers your whole household.
