🎁 Everyone who sees it wants a go

Will it work with my phone?

Almost certainly. Pick the connector that matches your phone when you order.

USB-C for iPhone 15 and newer, and for Samsung, Pixel and most other Android phones. Lightning for older iPhones, and we put the adapter in the box. 3.5 mm jack for anything with a round headphone hole.

Not sure which you have? Look at the port on the bottom of your phone, or send us your phone model and we will tell you.

Can the other person hear me?

Yes. There is a microphone in the handle. Your voice comes through with a warm, slightly old-fashioned tone, which is most of the charm. If you need studio-clean audio for work calls, this is not the thing for that, and we would rather say so now.

How long is the cord?

About a metre, coiled, so it stretches a little further when you need it to. Think desk, armchair and bedside table rather than wandering round the kitchen.

Product details

Feel: matte and rubbery, with real weight in the hand. Not a toy.

Colours: red, pink, white, black and blue.

Connection: wired, about a metre of coiled cable. Choose USB-C, Lightning or 3.5 mm jack when you order.

Size and weight: 23 x 6 cm, 180 g.

In the box: one handset with its cable attached, plus the adapter if you chose Lightning. Nothing to assemble.

Shipping

Free shipping on every order. Most orders arrive in 9 to 13 days, tracked the whole way. The price at checkout is the price you pay, with nothing more to settle on delivery.

Handsets that arrive working as described stay with you, so check which connector your phone takes before you order, and ask us first if you are unsure.

    How it works

    When it rings, you reach past the phone.

    It sits beside your phone, already plugged in. The screen lights up, you lift the handset, and the call starts the way calls used to start.

    Answering turns into a small pleasure.

    It does nothing your phone cannot already do. It only changes how the call feels while you are on it.

    • 1. Plug it in

      Choose USB-C, Lightning or the 3.5 mm jack to match your phone. It plugs in once and stays there, ready whenever someone calls.

    • 2. Lift it up

      Answer with the handset instead of the phone. One button on the handle picks up, and the same button ends the call when you are finished.

    • 3. Notice the difference

      Your ear stays cool and your hand has something solid to hold. A long call stops being something you get through and starts being something you enjoy.

      Three ways to plug in: USB-C, Lightning with the adapter in the box, or 3.5 mm jack

      Before you order

      Three ways to plug in. Pick the one your phone takes.

      USB-C for iPhone 15 and newer, and for Samsung, Pixel and most other Android phones. Lightning for older iPhones, with the adapter in the box. A 3.5 mm jack for anything with a round headphone hole.

      Look at the bottom of your phone and choose the matching one.

      Still not sure? Send us your phone model before you order and we will tell you which to pick.

      Five colours: red, pink, white, black and blue

      About the colours

      Red to be noticed. Pink to match the room. White, black or blue to say nothing at all.

      Nobody has ever asked about the cable on your desk. They will ask about this one.

      It earns the space it takes up.

      Everything else on the desk is grey or black. This is the part of it you actually enjoy looking at.

      For anyone who remembers a phone with some weight to it

      Not remotely necessary. Completely worth it.

      You already own a speakerphone and a drawer full of earbuds. You will want one of these anyway, because a handset in your hand makes a call feel like a call again, and because it is quietly funny every single time the phone rings.

      • brand-two-hour-call

        The long catch-up

        Your ear stays cool and your arm stops aching. It turns out that was the problem the whole time.

      • brand-video-call-family

        Video calls with everyone

        Stand the phone up, hold the handset, and you can see them while you talk instead of shouting at a speaker.

      • brand-gift

        A present that lands

        For the person who grew up with one of these on the wall. Nobody expects it and everybody wants a turn.

      • brand-answering

        Answering your mother

        She has told you for years to keep the phone off your ear. Look at you, finally listening.

        brand-always-ready

        After the novelty

        You buy it laughing. You keep it out of habit.

        The joke lasts about a week. The handset stays on the desk for good, because an hour on a real earpiece beats an hour on a warm sheet of glass.

        Always there, never charging.

        A cable means it works the moment the phone rings, with no battery to run flat and nothing to connect first.

        Ring Me next to what you already own.

        We will not pretend it beats earbuds on sound. It wins on everything else that matters once a call runs long.

        brand-not-hifi

        Why people choose it

        Earbuds wander off. This stays where you left it.

        Earbuds go missing and need charging. Speakerphone tells the whole room your business. Holding the phone gives you a warm ear and a tired arm. A handset settles all three at once, and it is the thing your friends ask about.

        Not hi-fi. Just a far better way to take a call.

        On that one measure it beats everything else you own, and it is not close.

        What's in the box: the handset with its cord already joined, plus a Lightning adapter if you need it

        What turns up

        One box. Nothing to build.

        The handset arrives with its coiled cord already joined to it, so there is nothing to assemble and nothing to charge before you use it.

        23 cm long, 6 cm tall, 180 g.

        If you chose Lightning, the adapter is in the box with it. Plug it in and it is ready for the next call.

        Questions, answered

        Before you order.

        Will it work with my phone?

        Pick the connector that matches your phone when you order. USB-C covers iPhone 15 and newer plus Samsung, Pixel and most other Android phones. Lightning covers older iPhones, and the adapter comes in the box. The 3.5 mm jack covers anything with a round headphone hole. Not sure which you have? Look at the port on the bottom of your phone, or send us your phone model before you order and we will tell you.

        How long is the cord?

        About a metre, coiled, so it stretches a little further when you need it to. Think desk, armchair and bedside table rather than wandering round the kitchen.

        Can the other person hear me clearly?

        Yes. There is a microphone in the handle and your voice comes through with a warm, slightly old-fashioned tone, which is most of the charm. If you need studio-clean audio for work, this is not the thing for that.

        Is it loud enough?

        Loud enough for a desk, a sofa or a bedside table. There is a volume control on the handle alongside the answer button. It is not built for a noisy street.

        Does it need charging or an app?

        Neither. It is wired and takes what it needs from your phone, so there is no battery to run flat, no app to install and nothing to connect.

        What colours are there?

        Five: red, pink, white, black and blue. Red is the one people notice. Pink is the one people ask about. White, black and blue are for the desk that would rather not start a conversation.

        What is in the box?

        One handset with its cable already attached, plus the adapter if you chose Lightning. There is nothing to build and nothing to charge.

        Which pack should I pick?

        One if it is just for you. Two if you are giving one away, so you keep one and whoever calls you most gets the other. Three works out best per handset and covers the whole house.

        What if something is wrong with it?

        Email us within 30 days of delivery with your order number and a photo or a short video. If it is faulty we send a replacement free, and we usually do not ask for the old one back. We do not take back handsets that work as described, so if you are unsure which connector your phone takes, ask us before you order.

        30-day guarantee

        You have already decided, haven't you.

        You have read the honest bits. The cable is shorter than you think and your voice comes out warm and a little old-fashioned. You still want one, and that is exactly the right reason to order.
