Tin Can - Companion App
Tin Can is the parent app for setting contacts, hours and call history on a separate Wi-Fi home phone.
Choose it if your household already has or plans to buy a Tin Can phone.
You can approve callers and manage multiple devices from the parent account.
Keep in mind: The companion app is not itself the child's phone; calling depends on hardware, power and Wi-Fi.
