ClearBeam Networks Launches HomeStation: AI-Powered Home Phone Service That Puts Families First

SEATTLE, WA, February 16, 2026 -- ClearBeam Networks, a Seattle-based telecommunications company, today announced the nationwide launch of HomeStation, an AI-powered home phone service designed to give families control over who can reach them, protect children from unwanted callers, and bring back the simplicity of a phone that just works, without a screen, an app, or a contract.

HomeStation replaces the traditional landline with a modern, intelligent phone service that includes a personal AI receptionist, kid-safe private numbers, call screening, quiet hours scheduling, and voicemail transcription. Service is available nationwide and starts at $25 per month.

The Problem: Homes Have Lost Control of Their Phones

Americans receive an estimated 4 billion robocalls every month. For families, the home phone, once a trusted communication lifeline, has become a liability. Parents have no way to screen calls for their children. Telemarketers interrupt dinner. Elderly family members answer scam calls because their phone rings and they pick it up.

Meanwhile, parents searching for a screen-free alternative to smartphones for their kids have few options. Traditional landlines from legacy carriers offer no call screening, no privacy controls, and no protection.

The Solution: A Phone That Thinks Before It Rings

HomeStation is built on a simple premise: your phone should protect your family, not expose them. Every HomeStation line comes with an AI receptionist that intercepts calls before they reach the handset, identifies the caller, and decides, based on rules the household sets, whether the phone should ring at all.

Key Features

• AI Receptionist: An intelligent call screener that answers unknown calls, asks callers to identify themselves, and lets the household decide whether to accept or decline, all via standard phone buttons (DTMF). Telemarketers and robocallers are automatically routed to voicemail without the phone ever ringing.
• Kid Safe Numbers: Children receive a real phone number that is private by default. Only contacts on a parent-managed approved list can call through. Strangers, telemarketers, and unknown numbers are blocked entirely. They cannot reach the child's line under any circumstances.
• Quiet Hours: Households set time windows (dinner, bedtime, family time) during which only approved contacts can ring through. All other callers are sent to voicemail automatically.
• "Marketers Go to Voicemail" Mode: Included on every plan, this feature silently redirects telemarketing and solicitation calls to voicemail. Transcripts are available for review, but the phone never rings.
• Call Screening with Accept/Decline: For unknown callers who pass the AI receptionist, the household hears who is calling and presses a button to accept or decline the call in real time.
• Voicemail Transcription: Every voicemail is automatically transcribed and delivered as text, so households can read messages without listening to them.
• Wellness Check-Ins: Daily automated phone calls to elderly family members that confirm well-being, remind about medications, and report status to a family dashboard.

Three Plans, No Contracts

All plans are month-to-month with no contract, no setup fees, and no cancellation penalties. Equipment is sold separately, with new and refurbished options available, and financing through Klarna installment payments.

From the Founder

“The phone company used to be part of your community. It knew your family. It cared about your neighborhood. That company got bought and sold until nobody was left who remembered why it mattered. We built ClearBeam to bring that back, but smarter. HomeStation is the home phone your family has been waiting for: one that screens out the noise, protects your kids, respects your dinner, and actually works for you instead of against you. No app required. No screen required. Just pick up the phone.” Tim Semakula, Founder & CEO, ClearBeam Networks

Availability

HomeStation is available now to households nationwide across the United States. Customers can choose their plan, select a local or toll-free phone number, and begin service immediately. HomeStation works with any standard SIP phone, including models from Yealink, Grandstream, and Poly, as well as analog telephone adapters for use with existing handsets.
