This company is amazing. We were so excited to receive our flashback phone. It’s brought back so many memories. We can’t wait for our kids to use them. It’s been such a great way to reconnect with people and bring back the nostalgia! The phone works so well and the app is awesome. Bringing landlines back is iconic!! This company is amazing.

People giving bad reviews for a single morning of inconvenience would always be looking for something bad to say anyways… don’t listen to those reviews. The company increased traffic on the app by orders of magnitude overnight. They crashed, they recovered, and the app/phone works great now. As someone who works in tech, I applaud the recovery, I don’t critique the misstep. This is perfect for both of our kids.

With the huge influx of users on Christmas there were some hiccups but I will say that their support has been so responsive even on Christmas Day! Support was very communicative during their issues and they personally reached out to make sure our issues were resolved. Our phone is now set up and the app is working properly and my kids could not be happier calling their friends and family. The phone and app deliver exactly what we were looking for and we have recommended to our friends.
