Our Story

It started with a simple problem: our extended family wanted to let all the cousins keep in touch with each other, but we weren't ready to give them unrestricted access to a tablet or smartphone.

As parents of four kids, we watched our kids light up every time they talked to their cousins or grandparents. But we also knew the risks that come with giving young children access to smartphones - the apps, the internet, the strangers.

I work in telecom IT, and I kept thinking: there has to be a better way.

So we built one.

ChatterBox is a modern landline with powerful parental controls built in. Kids can call anyone on their approved contact list - grandparents, dad, mom, their best friend - but they can't call strangers, and strangers can't call them.

Our "Why"

Kids need space to talk freely and safely, without the distractions, pressure, or noise that come with apps and endless scrolling.

ChatterBox was created with families in mind, giving parents peace of mind and kids the freedom to connect in ways that feel simple and safe.

Phone conversations help kids feel heard, grow in confidence, and stay close to the people who love them - near or far.

What Makes Us Different

We're not a big telecom company. We're parents who understand what families actually need:

• Real control for parents - You decide exactly who your kids can call. Period.
• Real safety built in - 911 always works, even if it's not on the approved list.
• Real simplicity - Simple setup. Plug it in, connect to WiFi, and go.

What We Believe

We believe kids need conversation and relationships - not screens.
We believe parents need peace of mind - not worry about what is popping up on screens.
We believe families need better options to communicate than "just give them a smartphone".

ChatterBox is the phone before the phone. It's how kids learn to communicate, stay connected to family, and build independence.
