Zillennial Revives Landlines with Bluetooth Tech
Cat Goetze, a young entrepreneur, had an idea to make landline phones cool again.
She wanted to use a landline instead of her smartphone, but didn't want to get a new phone number or pay for a phone line.
So, she made her own landline phone that works with Bluetooth.
Her friends loved it, and she decided to sell it online.
People really liked the idea, and she sold a lot of phones quickly.
Now, her business, Physical Phones, sells different styles of these Bluetooth landline phones.
They connect to your smartphone and ring when you get a call, even if it's a video call.
She's working with a manufacturer to make more phones, and they'll start shipping soon.
Cat Goetze created Bluetooth-compatible landline phones to reduce smartphone dependency.
Her business, Physical Phones, sold $120,000 worth of phones in just three days.
The phones range in price from $90 to $110 and come in five different styles.
Physical Phones has sold over 3,000 units, making $280,000 in sales in three months.
The devices connect to both Android and iPhone via Bluetooth and ring for all calls, including video calls from platforms like WhatsApp and FaceTime.
