Question 1

How can my child call me from a tablet without a SIM card?

Accepted Answer

Kids Call Home works perfectly on tablets, iPads, Kindle Fire, and Chromebooks over Wi‑Fi without needing a SIM card or phone number. First-time setup is secure (via QR code, magic link, or simple code). After that, your child opens the app and taps to call approved family members. Parents control all contacts, so only family members you approve can connect with your child.

Question 2

Is this app safer than typical kids messaging apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kids Call Home is designed specifically for family-only communication. Unlike many kids messaging apps, there are no public profiles, no search features, no friend requests from strangers, and no "friends of friends" connections. Only parent-approved family members can contact your child. The app uses encrypted communication, collects minimal data, does not show ads, and does not sell family data to advertisers or partners.

Question 3

Can my child use this to call both parents in different homes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kids Call Home is built for co‑parents and long‑distance family. Your child can easily call both parents, grandparents, and other approved family members across different homes and even different countries. Parents control which family members are approved, making it ideal for shared custody situations, divorced families, separated parents, and international families.

Question 4

Is Kids Call Home good for divorced or separated parents?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kids Call Home is perfect for divorced and separated parents. Your child can call both parents from either home, whether they're with mom or dad. Parents maintain full control over contacts, so both parents can be approved while ensuring your child only communicates with family members you've approved. This makes it ideal for shared custody, weekend visits, and maintaining connection between homes.

Question 5

Can single parents use Kids Call Home?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Single moms and single dads can use Kids Call Home to allow their children to safely call the other parent, grandparents, or other trusted family members. You maintain full control over who can contact your child, so you can approve the other parent, relatives, or any family members you trust, while ensuring your child only communicates with people you've explicitly approved.

Question 6

Does Kids Call Home work on iPads and tablets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kids Call Home works great on iPads, Android tablets, Kindle Fire, and Chromebooks. It works over Wi‑Fi without needing a SIM card or phone number, making it perfect for kids who don't have their own phone. The app is also available as a Progressive Web App (PWA), so it can be added to the home screen like a native app.

Question 7

Are there ads or in‑app purchases in Kids Call Home?

Accepted Answer

No ads. Start free with 1 child. Optional paid plans are available for additional kids or features. There are no manipulative design features. The app is designed to be a simple, safe communication tool for families, not a platform for engagement or monetization. Your child's attention stays on connecting with family, not on games, feeds, or notifications designed to keep them online longer.

Question 8

Does my child need a password to use Kids Call Home?

Accepted Answer

Kids Call Home supports simple magic links so children can tap once to log in from trusted devices instead of remembering complex usernames or passwords. Parents control where and how these links are used.

Question 9

Does Kids Call Home include filters or games?

Accepted Answer

No. Kids Call Home is focused on real connection between kids and family, so there are no face filters, social feeds or games. When your child calls, you see their real face and hear their real voice.

Question 10

How much does Kids Call Home cost?

Accepted Answer

Kids Call Home is free for 1 parent and 1 child. The Family Plan is US$14.99/month or US$149/year (Save 17%) and includes up to 5 kids under one subscription plus unlimited invited family members.

Question 11

Is Kids Call Home available in app stores?

Accepted Answer

Kids Call Home is currently available as a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works on all devices and can be installed on your home screen like a native app. Native apps for Google Play Store (Android) and Apple App Store (iOS) are in development and will be available soon. The PWA provides the full experience and works on iPhones, iPads, Android phones, tablets, and more.

Question 12

Can my child call relatives internationally?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kids Call Home works anywhere there's internet access—Wi‑Fi or mobile data. Your child can call approved family members in different countries just as easily as calling someone in the same city. There are no geographic restrictions, and international calls work the same way as local calls (no extra charges beyond your internet connection).

Question 13

Do parents have full control over who can contact their child?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Parents have complete control over all contacts. Only parent-approved family members can contact your child. Parents can add or remove contacts at any time, see call and message metadata, and children cannot add contacts themselves. This ensures your child only communicates with people you've explicitly approved.

Question 14

Is Kids Call Home GDPR ready?
