Retrophone

Frequently asked

What exactly do I receive?
A fully restored vintage telephone with modern internals installed — ready to plug in and use. It connects over Wi-Fi; no landline required.
Will my friends see my normal number when I call?
Yes. Outbound calls are linked to your primary mobile identity, so people see your usual caller ID.
How does answering calls work?
When someone calls your mobile number, the retro phone’s original brass bells ring. Lift the handset to answer.
How long until it ships?
Each phone is restored to order. We’ll email you a timeline after purchase; typical lead time is a few weeks.
Where do the profits go?
After costs, every dollar of profit goes to EarthPercent — the music industry’s climate and nature foundation co-founded by Brian Eno — and its Sounds Right initiative. See the Mission page.
