Frequently asked Questions

How far in advance is my phone shipped?

All our phones ship out 8 - 10 days prior for arrival at our clients address 5 - 7 days prior to their event date! If this timeline does not work with your event please reach out to us and let us know an ideal date you would like to receive your phone by!

Do you do destination weddings?

Count us in for your destination wedding bash (our phones love to travel ✈️)! Here’s the deal: we only ship to the USA, Canada, and Puerto Rico, so please make sure to order the phone with plenty of time before your event so you can travel with it to your destination. Then, bring the phone back with you, ship it back to us, and we’ll handle the rest! Easy as 🥧.

Then, bring the phone back with you, ship it back to us, and we’ll handle the rest! Easy as 🥧.

I didn't originally order the vinyl record - is it too late?

No! We can invoice you separately for that whenever you are ready.

Do you remove any voicemails?

No! You will receive every voicemail that is left at your event. The only time we will ever remove a voicemail is if there is hate speech being used.

What is the typical turnaround time for getting my voicemails back?

You will receive your voicemails within 72 hours of us receiving the phone back in the mail! Vinyl records take roughly 2 weeks to be completed and shipped once audio is approved by the client.

When is my phone color confirmed?

We officially confirm your phone color upon shipping which happens 8 - 10 days prior to your event! We always strive to give all our clients their top color choice!

How far in advance do you recommend booking?

We have bookings as late as December 2023 currently - so we always recommend sooner rather than later to ensure availability!

How and when do I return my audio guestbook?

Super simple! To return the phone, all you have to do is pack it up in the box it originally shipped in. Please include the foam to keep the phone protected during travel. We include a prepaid shipping label for you to add to the outside of the box (pro tip: if you can’t find the label, check under the foam!). Once it’s packed, just drop the package off at your local UPS. We kindly ask that you please return the phone within 72 hours (3 days) of your event.

Is there a limit to the amount of voicemails I can record?

No! We will send you every voicemail that is left on our phones for you to cherish forever!

Do the phones need to be connected to a landline or wifi?

No! Our phones are completely wireless and require no outside connection to work, which means they can be placed anywhere! They are powered by a AAA battery which allows the phone to record for 8-10 hours, and we also provide you with a spare.

What's the Virtual Dial-in package?

Our Virtual Dial-in package is a designated phone number for your loved ones to call from their own cell phones/landlines and leave voicemails to. It also includes a web page that has a little blurb of how it works, pictures of you and your partner, and the voicemail phone number! It is active for around 1-2 weeks and once the line closes, our editing team will edit that audio to the end of your event phone audio, providing you with an updated audio file! HERE is an example of the web page.

What's the Shipped Phone package?

Here's How It Works:

  1. We ship you a vintage phone of your choice
  2. You set up the phone at your event (no wifi or plug-in needed)
  3. Guests record funny & heartfelt voicemails
  4. You ship it back to us using the provided box and prepaid label
  5. A week or two after getting your phone back to us, we send you digital and/or vinyl recordings of the voicemails that your loved ones left 😎

How does “The Bowie” orange phone guestbook look in different lighting?

The bright orange audio guestbook by After The Tone is loud and proud, yet still has a vintage feel. To really highlight the phone’s unique and colorful hue, we recommend placing this phone guest book outdoors in natural light. However, The Bowie truly looks gorgeous in any lighting, and will have guests running to leave meaningful voicemail messages at weddings and other special events.

What types of events are best suited for the orange rotary phone?

If you’re planning to have an audio guestbook at a milestone event with a bright, colorful aesthetic, the orange rotary phone is a classic, yet unique, addition. “The Bowie” voicemail guest book is one of our most iconic, as it brings a warm vintage flair to a summer wedding, 70s-themed birthday party, gender-neutral baby shower, outdoor graduation party, and more. It screams retro!

Does the orange phone guestbook match a specific theme or event style?

No! While we love the look of the orange phone against other bright, happy colors, this iconic hue is our signature color for a reason. It goes with more than you think!

How far in advance should I reserve my orange phone guest book for my event?

The orange rotary phone guestbook is very popular in the summertime! We highly recommend reserving the orange audio guest book at least 3 months in advance of your big day. But, we can absolutely accommodate your event date up to 2 weeks before.

What audio guestbook signage looks best with “The Bowie” orange phone?

The VIP is the perfect choice if you’re after something a bit more neutral, but if you’re going bold and want a monochromatic moment, The Spotlight in orange is spot on—perfectly color-matched to the orange phone for a seamless look.

We had After the Tone at our wedding, and I can honestly say it was one of the most meaningful additions to our celebration. Listening to the voice messages after the big day brought tears, laughter, and so much joy. Every single recording was full of love, personality, and emotion. It felt like reliving the day through the hearts of our guests. Hearing the voices of our friends and family, especially those who traveled far or may not always be near, made it an incredibly cherished keepsake. It's something we’ll hold onto forever, and I know we’ll come back to it year after year with so much gratitude. Thank you, After the Tone, for giving us something so intimate, timeless, and full of love. I can't recommend this enough to any couple. It’s truly a gift you’ll treasure.

We loved hearing from all our loved ones and it felt like we got to relive the day listening to their messages. Set up was easy, we had a little hiccup with the return, but overall an awesome idea that we'll cherish. Even got our messages turned into a vinyl that we can play whenever we want to reminisce.

After the Tone was a truly wonderful addition to my grandma's 90th birthday celebration! It was simple, the instructions were clear, the phone was SO cute and we got teary eyed after hearing all of the heart felt messages left for her! 10/10 would recommend!
