The Hottest Phone for Kids Right Now Is a $100 Landline

Probably dependent on age of kids. For the 4yo-6yo demographic with no access to an iPhone or screen device, the analog phone is a blast. And family/friends, especially those living elsewhere, are having fun with it. Admittedly, we’re a month in but I’d be surprised if interest zeroed any time soon.

Run your own Asterisk server with special #0 that the kids can dial to listen to children’s podcasts, etc., it can be very entertaining.

Have an upvote. I have landlines for my kids. It was fun for about two weeks, then they had friends with FaceTime and you’re not able to compete with real time video conferencing.

I think I fall into this camp of parents. It was cute but my kid definitely grew bored of it. I keep hoping that it will pick back up, and maybe it will.
