teleCalm stops problem calls for families living with cognitive challenges.
Our landline and cell phone service empowers family caregivers to stop late-night calls, repeated calls, 911 abuse, and elder fraud -- while reducing social isolation and family stress.
For a great home phone solution, there's teleCalm Caregiver. This service works with regular home phones and replaces the existing landline service provider.
Our teleCalm Mobile service works with your loved one’s existing Android smartphone and current carrier. The service includes the teleCalm Dialer app, which installs directly on their smartphone and replaces the default dialer.
Both services are managed remotely by the family caregiver using the teleCalm Caregiver app.

Yes, teleCalm phone service replaces current home phone service, often times for less money than the current basic phone service. teleCalm also has simple pricing. All taxes and fees are included in the monthly pricing.
No, internet is not required to have teleCalm service.
Yes, teleCalm can transfer (port) the existing number of your loved one to teleCalm. Please note there is a $5 port charge and the transfer process can take up to two weeks. You MUST keep the current phone service until the transfer is complete. During that period, you can forward the current phone number to your new, temporary teleCalm number and begin using it right away.
To transfer a phone number to teleCalm, you must complete a Letter of Authorization (LOA) provided by teleCalm and provide a complete copy of a recent phone bill. Once submitted, the port process can take two weeks. Do not cancel the existing service during that time, as you can lose the phone number.
You can use the teleCalm provided phone number as long as you like, and then port your old phone number over when you are ready, as long as you have not canceled your old service. If you decide to port the old phone number, follow the instructions on our Porting page.
If you don’t have an existing phone number, or don’t want to transfer a current number, teleCalm be happy to give you a new number when you sign up.
To program the recommended photo phone, follow these steps:
There are two ways that you can use two phones:
1. Where you plug the phone into the back of the teleCalm Adapter, you can plug a phone line splitter, which would allow you to plug in two different phone line cables, which would then attach to each phone. These are available on Amazon.
2. However, the preferred way is: Use an expandable cordless phone system, with a base station and an extension.
Here are two examples; one with an answering machine; and one without an answering machine.
Currently, teleCalm only works on home phones. We are developing a solution for mobile phones and will be testing it in the near future.
Yes, it’s very simple. Click here to watch a video on installing the teleCalm adapter. Also, an installation guide is included with your teleCalm adapter.

Yes, we provide 911 service. During signup, you will be asked to provide the physical address of the end user. The physical address provided is used to route the 911 call to a local emergency response center.

The repeat dialing feature will automatically detect when your loved one starts calling the same contact over and over again, within a specified period of time, and block those outgoing calls. You can even be notified that the feature has been activated. See the blog post “Repeat Dialing Feature Promotes Peace of Mind” for more detail on how it works.
The Quiet Hours feature helps curb late night calls, and disruptive calls during work hours. The feature lets you set up two different ranges of time that your loved one is blocked from making outgoing calls. You can record a personalized message for your loved one in your own voice, reassuring them. For example: “Mom, it’s really late and we are asleep. Please call back in the morning. Or if you need to wake me, press 5 on your phone.”
You can also enable or disable the “press 5 to dial out.” When turned on, your loved one can press any key to connect their call, even during quiet hours.
Multiple family members can use the app. You just have to share the log in information of the primary family caregiver with them.
Yes, through our mobile Caregiver app you can disable and enable the teleCalm calling rules in the Settings screen. When you disable the teleCalm calling rules, it becomes a standard home phone service. Telemarketers and scammers can now easily reach your loved one.
Your teleCalm service includes unlimited calling minutes and no long-distance charges.
With teleCalm Caregiver service, here is how voicemail works, with Enable Voicemail turned ON from the Settings screen:
With teleCalm Trust service, we currently do not offer voicemail as most of our customers prefer cordless home phone systems that already have voicemail built in. You can use a telephone that has the answering machine functionality built in, or a standalone answering machine.
Although we don’t sell home telephones, we have strong opinions on different models based on years of experience serving seniors and listening to our customers. If you want a great landline replacement or home phone for yourself or somebody you love, we want to share the benefit of our experience. We hope you find this review of our favorite senior phones useful.
Yes, all the information you enter and submit is secure. We use the highest level of security for all online transactions. teleCalm uses Stripe, securely processing billions of dollars a year for thousands of businesses.
