An article in The National recognized the VoIP service provider for its simple, distraction-free, landline-style alternatives, even as people push back against smartphone use.
Pittsburgh, PA (PRUnderground) July 27th, 2026
Voiply, a nationwide provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) home and business phone service, is drawing attention from a growing cultural conversation about smartphone distraction and the demand for simpler communication alternatives. A July 2026 feature in The National,¹ a widely-read English-language publication based in the Middle East, cited Voiply as a company meeting this demand.
The National’s feature documented a broad revival of dedicated home phone use, driven by growing concern over the behavioral impact of always-connected smartphones. The piece cited a UK House of Commons Committee finding of a 52% increase in children’s screen time between 2020 and 2022, with nearly a quarter of young people using smartphones at rates described as consistent with behavioral addiction.
Adults are wrestling with the same pull. One professional quoted in the piece described picking up a smartphone to call her mother, only to find she had spent 40 minutes scrolling instead. Psychologists noted that voice calls on a dedicated phone cultivate empathy and real-time communication skills that text-based platforms can’t replicate. For households that want a phone line focused on conversation rather than distraction, Voiply’s residential phone service delivers exactly that experience.
The Better Business Bureau-accredited company serves more than 50,000 customers across the United States and Canada and is founded on the principle that reliable phone service should not require technical expertise or a daily tug-of-war with apps and notifications.
Voiply’s platform bridges the gap between the simplicity of a traditional landline and the features modern users actually need. Voicemail-to-email delivery, free Robocall Defender, call routing, and an app-based softphone extend the service’s usefulness without adding complexity. For small businesses and remote teams, Voiply’s business VoIP and cloud PBX service adds professional call handling, auto-attendant capability, and CRM integration through the NetSapiens platform at a fraction of traditional phone system costs.
The company’s kid landline product addresses the parenting concern at the center of the landline revival trend, giving children a way to reach family without internet access or app exposure.
“What people are finding again is pretty simple: a phone line that exists only to make calls,” said Felix Yanko, President and Co-Founder of Voiply. “Our customers have always wanted clear calls, honest pricing, and a setup that works the moment they plug it in. The fact that so many people are now actively choosing that kind of simplicity tells us the demand was always there.”
As coverage of intentional technology use and the search for focused communication options continues to grow, Voiply is positioned to serve customers who want reliable, distraction-free phone service at home or the office. For more information, visit Voiply.com.
