Calling Grandma
FRI - 4:45PM
Hi Grandpa!
TUE - 5:20PM
That's hilarious!
SAT - 4:12PM
Your turn!
WED - 6:30PM
You won't believe this!
FRI - 4:45PM
“Grandma, guess what!”
“Can Ellie come over?”
“I lost a tooth!”
“Dad, it’s me. Just calling.”
“Is Pop Pop there?”
“Wanna hear a joke?”
“Can Ellie come over?”
“I lost a tooth!”
“Dad, it’s me. Just calling.”
“Is Pop Pop there?”
“Wanna hear a joke?”
Every parent eventually hears the question:
“When can I get my first phone?”
We know it’s coming, and we know why. Our kids want connection. They want to call their friends, talk to cousins, and feel a little more grown up.
But a smartphone? That’s a big leap.
Meet ChatterBox.
ChatterBox gives kids the ability to connect without the distractions, risks, and pressures of a smartphone.
It’s a Wi-Fi home phone designed especially for kids, with thoughtful parental controls and simple, real conversation at its core.
Connection first. Smartphone later.
Features
You decide who they talk to
ChatterBox gives you complete control over who can call your kids, and who they can call.
Approved contacts only
Kids can only call the numbers you’ve approved, and only those numbers can call them. Everyone else is blocked before the phone ever rings.
911 Priority
Emergency calls bypass every restriction, and you get a text the moment one is dialed.
Quiet hours
Bedtime, homework, dinner. Block calls in and out during the hours you choose (except 911).
One-touch speed dial
Press 1 for Mom, 2 for Dad, 3 for Grandma. On the FamilyTalk, just tap their photo button.
Call history
Who called whom, when, and for how long. All in the Parent Portal.
Parent PIN override
Need to call a number that isn’t on the list? Enter your PIN and the call goes through.
Several phones, zero apps.
Every phone works with the same $9.95/month ChatterBox plan and the same parental controls. Just pick the one that fits your family.

Reviews
What parents (and grandparents) are saying
Questions?
The things parents ask us
What phone numbers can ChatterBox call? Can my kids call cell phones?
ChatterBox provides outbound dialing to any phone number (cell phones, landlines, etc.) in the United States and Canada.
Inbound calls can come from any of those same kinds of phone numbers.
And, of course, you can call any friend with ChatterBox phone service too!
But - no matter the phone number, it must be set up in the Parent Portal before a call will be allowed in or out.
Do I need a phone jack or landline?
Not for our Wi-Fi phones! ChatterBox phones connect via Wi-Fi (except for our “OldSchool” analog adapter). You can put the phone anywhere you have Wi-Fi - your child’s bedroom, the kitchen, or wherever makes sense for your family. You can even move it from one room to another whenever you like: just remember, you do have to plug it in to power for it to work.
What happens if my child calls 911?
Emergency calls (911) go through, regardless of parental control settings. After an emergency call, a 2-hour callback window opens where anyone can call in so emergency services can call back even if they’re not on your approved list.
If you have 911 alerts set up, you’ll receive a text message alerting you that an emergency call was dialed from the ChatterBox line.
How does buying here work with the ChatterBox plan?
You buy the phone here, one time. Create your ChatterBox account and add contacts before it arrives. When the phone arrives, use the activation card in the box to choose monthly ($9.95) or annual ($99) service and activate your line.
What if I need to call a number that isn’t approved?
You can add it to the approved contacts list, or you can enable our parent override mode that allows you to dial a PIN to complete an outbound call.
Is there a contract or commitment? What if I don't like it?
No contracts! Cancel anytime. The phone is a one-time purchase that you keep even if you cancel service. And if it doesn't work out for your family, you can return it for a full refund within 30 days of delivery.

No apps. No feeds. Just a phone.
