Got this as a little surprise for my mum and she absolutely loved it. She said it instantly reminded her of the phone they had at home years ago. Such a fun gift.

Honestly thought it might feel a bit cheap, but it’s actually really solid and has a nice weight to it. Feels just like the old phones I remember.

Everyone who sees it on my desk picks it up and asks what it is. It’s such a simple idea but somehow makes phone calls more fun.

OBSESSED. I got the red one and it’s perfect.
Such a cool gadget
I got the pink one and I’m obsessed. It looks even cuter in person and makes every phone call feel a little more special.
Bought this as a birthday gift for my best friend and ended up ordering another one for myself.
I bought this for my dad, he loves it.
Got two so I could give one to my sister. We used to fight over the house phone when we were younger, so this made us laugh.
A nice balance between decor and memory piece.
The black one is so sleek. Retro without looking too kitschy.
My phone case is pretty bulky so holding it for long calls gets annoying. The handset is much more comfortable.
The nostalgia is REAL. The second I picked it up I felt like I was back at my parents’ house in the 80s. Super cute and it works perfectly with my phone.
I didn’t expect to love this as much as I do. It’s such a simple idea but somehow makes phone calls way more enjoyable. I’ve actually started calling my friends instead of texting them all day.
No issues with the order, everything went smoothly.
Bought one for me and one for my mom. She laughed when she opened it and then immediately called me with it. Such a fun little gift.
It looks soo nice on the desk
My calls are actually longer now. So much nicer than holding my phone against my face for an hour. I just put my phone down and relax with the handset.
Funny Gift
Everyone asks me where I got it. I have the red one and it looks SO good. Definitely one of my favorite random purchases.
Good value for the price.
No charging, no Bluetooth, nothing to set up. I plugged it into my phone and it worked straight away. So simple.
Everything arrived as described.
This brought back so many memories. My mom had a phone with a cord like this when I was growing up. Now I use mine almost every evening to call her.
The perfect gift :)
The quality is solid. No complaints.
Everything arrived as expected.
Arrived yesterday and I’ve already had a 90 minute call with my sister. So I guess it works 😂
I miss when people actually called each other. This makes me want to do it more often.
Not going to lie, I mostly bought it because it looked good in photos. Turns out it’s actually useful too.
The red is PERFECT. Very 80s without looking like a costume prop.
I forgot how nice it feels to actually hold a phone while talking. Somehow my calls feel way more relaxed now.
Worth it.
The coiled cord is my favorite part. It instantly reminds me of being a teenager and talking on the phone for hours.
I genuinely use this more than I thought I would. I keep it next to my sofa and plug it in whenever my sister calls.
Great product
I wasn’t sure at first, but I’m glad I ordered it. Cool idea
It arrived on time and well packaged. Everything looks as described.
Such a fun way to make something as ordinary as a phone call feel special again.
The size is perfect. Fits in the bag
The phone arrived as expected and feels well made. Quality is good.
I was worried it would be complicated to connect but it literally took seconds. Plugged it in and called my friend straight away.
