About Us
Hi! We’re so glad you’re here. We are a group of millennials who are nostalgic for the days of less technology and saw a need to bring back the landline… sort of. Our Tin Can is a wi-fi based corded landline to help families stay connected to their communities and kids’ friends all while becoming less dependent on our smart phones. Some of us have kids and some of us don’t but we all see the value in a lower tech communication device. Teaching kids to talk on the phone builds confidence, strengthens communication skills, and reminds them that connection doesn’t always need a screen.
Our mission is to foster connection without distraction. Stringing communities together one tin can at a time.
“At the time [learning to talk on the phone] was a scary experience, but it was through regular practice with conversations that I became confident in talking with adults and seeking out information I needed.”
— CEO of Bean Ninjas, Meryl Johnston
