PuffinCall turns a spare Android phone into a stripped-down video and voice caller for children ages one to five.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The page lays out a four-step workflow: install on a spare Android phone, add up to six people by photo, send invite links, and hand over the device. The child-facing screen contains only large face buttons, while incoming calls require acceptance by a person on both ends. The free plan states 20 monthly talk minutes; the S$2.98 Plus plan lists 60 video minutes, 300 voice minutes, rollover, and missed-call alerts.
