A tech startup made a modern home phone that is meant to cut down on screen time, and the product has become very popular very quickly. The gadget, which looks like a regular phone, pairs with smartphones via Bluetooth, so users can make and receive calls without using their phone’s full screen. The new business made over ₹1 crore in sales in just three days after it opened.
The idea and its growth
Two years ago, when the founder became worried about people using their phones too much, the idea for the product came to them. It was important to her to be able to make calls without being interrupted by her phone. She made the connection between old and new technology by remaking a classic landline phone so that it could work with Bluetooth.
The phone can connect to both iPhones and Android phones. Once it’s linked, it will ring whenever there’s a call, whether it’s from a regular phone line or an app like FaceTime or WhatsApp. Users can also make calls to other people using the cellphone, either by dialling by hand or by using voice orders on their smartphone.
Start-up and first sales
The founder thought that people would not be very interested in the product when it was first released. But the post about the device got a lot of attention right away, and orders poured in. The new business surprised everyone by making more than ₹1 crore in sales in just 72 hours. Soon, the first lot of units will be sent out. The company has sold different styles of the phone for between ₹8,000 and ₹9,800.
Specifications and style
Even though it has modern technology built in, the unit looks and feels like a regular home phone. The way it’s made makes it appealing to people who miss old phones but want the ease of connecting to a smartphone. The gadget is small, light and simple to use. Its goal is to make talking without any distractions. Users can spend less time on their screens while still staying linked by limited access to apps and alerts.
Drive and a goal
The company’s founder said the product was made because people were tired of being online all the time. A lot of people spend too much time on their phones, which makes them feel stressed, unable to focus, and always connected. The founder wanted to give people who want to stay in touch without being constantly sidetracked by alerts and apps a useful option by making the device simpler.
People are becoming more interested in digital simplicity, which means they want to limit their screen time while still being able to connect to the internet when they need to. People are really interested in technology that makes their digital lives easier, as shown by how quickly the cellphone was received.
