Across the country, parents are delaying smartphones as concerns grow around social media exposure, excessive screen time, cyberbullying, and unwanted contact from strangers. But many families still want their children to stay connected with friends and relatives — without the distractions and risks that come with smartphones. As a result, families are rediscovering the value of the household landline — a simple way for kids to communicate while avoiding social media, apps, and endless notifications.


MyPhone delivers the solution many parents have been asking for: a modern landline phone service that keeps kids connected with friends and family while giving parents greater visibility, control and peace of mind.


Built on Ooma's trusted cloud-based home phone platform used by households across North America, MyPhone brings the reliability and scale of a proven communications provider to this fast-growing parenting movement.


"There's a growing body of research suggesting that delaying smartphone use can be beneficial for younger children. MyPhone brings together the simplicity and safety features parents want for their children with the reliability they expect from Ooma," said Jim Gustke, senior vice president of marketing at Ooma. "Kids get the freedom to call friends and grandparents, while parents rest assured their child's phone is designed to keep them safe."


A Safe and More Complete Phone Experience for Kids


MyPhone combines the simplicity of a home landline with advanced safety and parental controls not typically found in basic children's calling devices today.
