Tell Mel Goes Global: Now Available in 25 Countries

Your father retired to India. Your grandmother lives in Melbourne. Your great-uncle never left Munich. The stories they carry—about how your grandparents met, what your hometown looked like before you were born, the family recipes that exist only in memory—those stories don't stop at borders.

Until now, capturing them meant coordinating complicated international calls or waiting for that next visit that keeps getting postponed.

Today, Tell Mel works wherever your family lives.

Why This Matters

Here's what we hear from families every week: "My parents moved back to India after retirement, and I'm running out of time to record their stories." Or: "My grandmother is in Sydney and I'm in San Francisco—how do I capture her memories?"

Distance shouldn't determine whether your family's history gets preserved.

We built Tell Mel so a simple phone call could become a family heirloom. And now that phone call can reach your loved ones in 25 countries across six continents.

No apps to download. No video calls to schedule. No tech support calls to your parents. Just a phone that rings, a friendly voice that asks the right questions, and stories that become permanent.

How It Works

Getting started takes about two minutes:

1. Add their phone number with the country code (the + and digits before their local number)
2. Choose questions from our library or let Tell Mel guide the conversation
3. We call them at whatever time works for their time zone
4. You receive their story — transcribed, edited, and formatted into a beautiful memoir chapter

That's it. Your grandmother in Mumbai doesn't need to download anything. Your dad in Berlin just answers the phone. Your aunt in Perth simply picks up and starts talking.

The Stories Waiting to Be Told

Every family has stories that live only in the minds of their oldest members. The immigration journey that started everything. The career change that shaped a generation. The love story that nobody talks about anymore.

These stories exist in Mumbai and Melbourne, in Berlin and São Paulo, in Hong Kong and Dublin. They're waiting for someone to ask the right questions.

Tell Mel asks those questions—in whatever time zone, in whatever country—and turns the answers into something your family can keep forever.

Start Today

If you've been waiting for the right moment to capture your family's stories, this is it.

Your parents' memories don't require your parents to learn new technology. They just require a phone call.
