iPhones can wait. Telling Grandad you love him can't. Ciao Bella is an Australian home phone designed for children from four years old to smartphone-ready. It rings only for the people you choose — no apps, no internet, no screen. Just real conversations with the people who love them.
You decide exactly who can call your child: grandparents, aunties, best friends. Through the Ciao Bella parent app you add approved contacts, and only those numbers ring through. Everyone else is blocked automatically. No strangers, no spam, no surprises.
Ciao Bella is a phone that is just a phone. No apps, no internet, no scrolling. Kids pick it up, talk to someone they love, and put it down again.
One-press speed dial to their top three contacts. Voicemail from Nanny when they miss her call. Quiet hours for dinner, homework and sleep. All the good parts of a home phone, made for small hands.
It is a home phone, not a wearable — it lives on a desk or a bench, with no SIM card, no cellular plan and no GPS tracker. Calls between Ciao Bella phones are free, always. It is hand-finished one batch at a time in nine colourways. And it is Australian owned, designed, set up and supported from Sydney, with local stock, local warranty and real people on email.
Solo is $109 (RRP $139). The BFF Bundle is $199 for two phones (RRP $278). The Talking Trio is $279 for three (RRP $417).

Reserve any bundle for a $25 deposit, fully refundable until your phone ships.
