RetroDial
The retro corded handset that plugs straight into your phone.
- No app, no pairing. Plug it in and talk
- Easy on the ear, easy on the arm
- Looks like 1985. Works with your 2026 phone
- A gift that gets used, not just displayed
📱 Will this fit my phone?
3.5 mm → any phone with a round headphone jack
Heads up: iPhone 8 through 14 have neither port (Lightning only), so they're not compatible with either version unless you already have a Lightning adapter.
[Placeholder] What Customers Are Saying
[Placeholder] Feels like a real phone call again.
[Placeholder] I forgot how nice it is to hold something solid up to my ear instead of a tiny earbud. RetroDial just feels right.
[Placeholder] So much clearer than my earbuds.
[Placeholder] Background noise on calls used to drive me crazy. This handset cuts it out completely — my calls sound noticeably clearer now.
[Placeholder] A fun little conversation starter.
[Placeholder] Everyone who sees it on my desk asks about it. Didn't expect a phone accessory to double as a decor piece, but here we are.
The basics
Can the other person hear me?
Yes. Your voice picks up a warm, old-telephone tone, which is part of the charm. If you need studio-clean audio for work calls, this isn't that, and we'd rather tell you now than have you find out.
How long is the cord?
Coiled, so it stretches, but shorter than you may be picturing. It's made for the desk, the armchair and the bed, not for pacing around the kitchen.
Specs
- Feels like: matte, rubbery, solid in the hand. Not a toy
- Colours: Red, Bubblegum Pink, Black and White
- Plug: USB-C or 3.5 mm, you choose
- In the box: the handset with its coiled cord, terminating in either a USB-C or 3.5 mm jack cable, depending on what you ordered. Nothing to assemble
Shipping
Free tracked shipping on every order. Processing takes 1 to 2 business days and shipping takes 4 to 9 days, with tracking the whole way. The price you see at checkout is the price you pay, nothing more on delivery.
30-day guarantee: what it covers
If your handset arrives broken, damaged or faulty, or the wrong item turns up, we replace it free within 30 days of delivery. Email us first with your order number and a photo and we'll sort it one to one. It covers faults, not a change of mind: a working handset stays with you, so use the plug guide above or email support@unboxgem.com before you order if you're unsure.
The phone rings. It's 1994 again.
It plugs into your phone, sits on the table where you take your calls. One rings and you lift the handset instead of pressing glass to your ear — just like the hallway phone everyone waited their turn for.
Every call becomes a small event. It doesn't do anything your phone can't. It just makes picking up feel like something again.
Made For Moments Like These
The Marathon Call
No hot ear, no cramped shoulder holding a phone in place. Just talk the way people did before headsets existed.
The 1 AM Wind-Down
The kind of call that goes long after it should've ended. You're lying down, lights off, in no hurry to hang up.
Calling Mom
She still asks why you never call properly. Now you have an excuse to sit down, hold something real, and actually listen.
The Gift Everyone Recognizes
Everyone had one of these on a wall growing up. Now it's the gift that gets a reaction the second it's unwrapped.

Got questions? We'll pick up!
Which plug do I need for my phone?
USB-C → iPhone 15 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S8 and newer, Google Pixel (any generation), and most Android phones released since 2017
3.5 mm → any phone with a round headphone jack
Heads up: iPhone 8 through 14 have neither port (Lightning only), so they're not compatible with either version unless you already have a Lightning adapter.
Not sure? Email support@unboxgem.com with your phone model, we answer before you order.
Is it loud enough?
Loud enough for a desk or a bed. There's a +VOL/−VOL rocker on the edge right where your thumb lands. One buyer got it for a hard-of-hearing parent and said loud and clear. It's not for a noisy street.
What colours are there?
Red, Bubblegum Pink, Black and White, each with both plug options. Red is the classic look. Pink is the one people ask about. Black is for the desk that doesn't want to make a point. White keeps it clean and out of the way.
Which pack should I pick?
[Placeholder] One handset if it's just for you. [Placeholder Bundle Name] if you're giving one away. [Placeholder Bundle Name] is the best price per handset and covers the whole family.
What if something is wrong with it?
Email support@unboxgem.com within 30 days of delivery with your order number and a photo or short video. If it's faulty we send a new one free, and usually don't ask for the old one back. We don't take back handsets that work as described, so if you're unsure which plug you need, ask us before you order.
