Thumb-powered connection is here

Just a few minutes on the phone with a loved one is proven to improve your mood and boost your well being. Yet many of us face the same problem: our thumbs go straight into autopilot the moment we pick up our phones.

That’s why we’ve launched a new innovation as part of our Fairer Phones Project. Meet Ring Ring, a wearable reminder to stop scrolling and start ringing. The latest in thumb-stopping technology designed to intercept your scroll and encourage meaningful call time over mindless screen time.

Commit to calling more and scrolling less

We spend more time on our phones than ever, yet genuine connection feels harder to find. It is easy to slip into scrolling without thinking, even though a real conversation with someone we care about leaves us feeling more grounded and uplifted.

Ring Ring helps break that autopilot moment and guides you back to what your phone was made for. A few minutes of honest conversation can brighten your mood, strengthen your relationships and offer a sense of closeness that endless feeds cannot. It is a simple reminder to choose connection over distraction.

Get involved without the ring

  • Create a call list: Jot down a few people you want to stay in touch with and favourite them in your contacts
  • Pause before you scroll: Ask yourself, “Could I call one of them instead?”
  • Start small: Aim for one extra call this week, then build from there
