The Audly Phone
Feedback lights
Every Audly guestbook is equipped with LED lights to let you know what's going on. Many other guestbooks leave a lot of guess work. Is the phone on? Did my message record? Was the phone hung up properly? Audly phones provide active feedback to your guests so they'll always know they're using it correctly.
Versatile battery
In 99% of cases, you won't even need to think about how an Audly guestbook is powered. The internal battery lasts for over 12 hours, and is always charged before you receive it. In the case where you'd prefer to not use the battery, or it malfunctions, Audly guestbooks have 5 different ways to power them.
Great audio, and lots of it
The messages from your loved ones are processed and converted on the best technology for the job. This means the files you receive don't have any buzzing, hissing, or other poor audio qualities that come from poor audio processing. In addition, Audly guestbooks are capable of recording over 100 hours of messages so you'll never miss anything.
Pre-recorded greetings
You have a million things going on leading up to your event, we get it. The last thing you want is to receive an audio guestbook the day before your event and have to figure out how to record your greeting properly. That's why we ask you to record your greeting on your smartphone and send it to us. Your greeting is loaded onto the phone before you even receive it, and you'll never have to worry about someone accidently deleting it.
How do the phones differ?
Since Audly phones are each hand crafted, not every phone is built the same. While there are some obvious differences in things like colour and style, there are some bigger differences in our phones that we've gone ahead and identified for you. Each phone listed below will specify which phone line they are a part of, which is important in how the phone feels, and most importantly, sounds. Make sure you're familiar with the differences before picking your phone!
C
Capital Line
The phones in the Capital Line are your typical audio guestbook experience. They are newly manufactured phones, meaning they've never been used for a purpose outside of this. They are equipped with new microphones and hardware, which results in a very clear sounding audio message free of any noise or static.
B
Bytown Line
The phones in the Bytown Line are a unique, retro audio guestbook experience. They are phones acquired through a variety of sources like flea markets, garage sales, vintage shops, and more. They sat on someone's table many years ago and have been refurbished and modified into a guestbook. The wiring of the original phone remains unchanged, so these phones result in an older sounding message authentic to what you would've heard from them in their glory days.

The Preston (New!)
Capital Line
Because a rotary dial would confuse the kids, right? This phone is a darker red than the Midway and might resonate a bit more with a millennial crowd.

The Highlander
Bytown Line
This beige, or off-white phone was acquired from a shop called Almonte Vintage. It definitely saw some use in its day, and even came with a photo of someone's kid with a sweet bowl cut. Its tame colour fit in with almost any aesthetic. Just be careful, it's heavier than it looks!

The Flapjack
Bytown Line
This unique gem was another find at Almonte Vintage. Butterscotch with a gold underbelly, this pancake phone is sure to catch some eyes at your event. It has a lighter feel to it, but sounds great for an older phone.

The Midway
Bytown Line
This phone was acquired from Almonte Vintage as well. Originally beige like the Highlander, it was spraypainted by the shop it was at. As a result, it has more of flatter matte look and feel, rather than shiny plastic. It's a heavy one!

Virtual Line
Free with a booking
Have guests who can't make it to the wedding? Normally, they unfortunately wouldn't be able to sign your guestbook. With the virtual line add-on with an Audly audio guestbook, your guests can call a toll-free number from anywhere in the world and leave a message for you. This service is totally free with the booking of a physical phone, just be sure to mention it so we can set it up!

Via Bluetooth, USB stick, or SD card, you'll be able to load your messages onto these cute little speakers to play for years to come. A perfect physical keepsake for your not-so-physical messages. The speaker will be included in the box when you receive the phone.
