Address
— this is how other YapYaps reach it. Keep it private; it isn't a
public phone number.
How this YapYap knows it's this YapYap
Every handset runs identical firmware — the chip ID is the only thing that tells them apart. Register it here, then the board identifies itself with nothing provisioned onto it.
Read it off the board's console at boot:
YAPYAP: chip ID 246F28AABBCC
Setup code
(valid 24 hours, single use)
Who this YapYap can call
Adding a contact also lets them call back.
Cards that ring this YapYap
Calling cards arrive already pointing at a YapYap — there is nothing to set up. A card works in any YapYap, so whoever holds one of these can ring this one. Lost a card? Switch it off here and it stops working everywhere, immediately.
Greeting
What someone hears before the beep when nobody answers. Leave it empty and they hear our standard message instead.
Your browser will ask to use the microphone. Recording happens on this device and stops on its own after 30 seconds.
Wi-Fi
A YapYap has no screen to type on, so it listens instead: this page plays your Wi-Fi details as a short melody and the handset hears them. Use it to set up a new YapYap, or to move one to a different network.
- Hold the Rec button on the YapYap and, still holding, switch it off and on again.
- It plays a chirp to say it's listening. Let go of the button.
- Fill this in, hold your phone next to the YapYap, and press play.
Your password is turned into sound by this page and never reaches our servers. Keep the room quiet while it plays — it takes about ten seconds. If the YapYap doesn't chirp at the end, press play again.
Voicemail
Messages left when nobody answered, the YapYap was switched off, or it was quiet time here. Live calls are never recorded. Listening here does not count as heard on the handset — the message still plays when the voicemail button is pressed.
Calling hours
Green = calls allowed. Leave everything empty to allow calls at any time. Applies to calls in and out.
