FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Provo-Based Wiley Launches WiFi Home Phone to Give Local Kids and Families Safe Calling Without a Smartphone

PROVO, Utah — July 28, 2026 — Wiley, a Provo, Utah-based company on a mission to give kids and families the freedom to connect without a cell phone-based childhood, with its new WiFi Home Phone & service with — the Wiley Buddy. The Buddy works like a traditional landline but runs entirely over home internet WiFi, giving kids their own 10 digit phone number and the ability to call the people who matter most, all without a smartphone, an app, or a phone jack to use.

Rooted in Provo and inspired by the families next door, Wiley set out to solve a problem parents across the community feel every day: how to give children independence and connection without handing them a device built for endless scrolling. The Wiley Buddy answers that with a simple, plug-in-anywhere home phone and a full suite of parental controls.

"This is a problem parents all experience and don't know how to solve. We're typically one sentence in, parents get it, and ask when they can get it set up" laughed a Wiley spokesperson. "Parents want their kids to be able to call grandma, reach a friend down the street, or to be able to leave to run an errand while leaving a way for their kids to connect — without a smartphone. Wiley is proud to launch it from right here in Provo, Utah to serve families here & across the nation."

The Wiley Buddy WiFi Home Phone includes:

• Its own home phone number with unlimited nationwide calling over WiFi — no phone jack, no apps.
• Approved-contact-only calling and call filtering, so parents decide who can reach their kids.
• Enhanced 911 with instant alerts, assigning a physical address to the phone so first responders — and parents, and even a neighbor — know immediately when 911 is dialed.
• Spam and robocall blocking, Caller ID, voicemail, speed dial, and customizable quiet hours for peace of mind at home.
• Call history and monitoring designed for accountability and safety, not snooping.

Serving families of Provo and across the country, Wiley pairs the product launch with its short film "Let Kids Be Kids," a look at what childhood can be when doomscrolling is left behind.

The Wiley Buddy WiFi Home Phone is available now in white and black at $89, with free shipping, a lifetime warranty, and easy returns.
