Gabb Activate gabb.com/activate : Setting Up Your Gabb Phone

To activate your Gabb device, Pull your new phone out of the box and plug it in using the included charging cord. You’re ready to get started! Your device is active and now needs to be paired with the parent MyGabb App!

Before you even turn your phone on, you’ll notice lots of buttons, lights and holes. Take a minute to compare your phone to these pictures. Can you find the speaker on your phone? How about the front camera? Where will you plug in your phone’s charging cord?

Activation Fee: All new Devices are subject to an activation fee of $30 which is non-refundable (“Activation Fee”).

Getting started with your new line Gabb Watch 3 ordered at gabb.com

Your device is active and now needs to be paired with the parent MyGabb App!
**Before beginning, please connect your Gabb Watch 3 to its charger to ensure it has a charge**

You’ll need a few things:

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Your Amazon order number
  • Your Gabb Watch 3’s IMEI
  • Your billing information
Steps to pair:
  • Enable bluetooth on your parent smartphone
  • On your parent smartphone, Download the MyGabb App from the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android)
  • Existing customer? Make sure you update your MyGabb App in the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android) as our pairing process has been updated
  • Log into the MyGabb App using your Gabb Account credentials. This is the username and password you use to log into your parent Gabb Account. This is the email and password you used to set up your account during your initial order
  • Now that you have logged into your MyGabb App, select Add Device and select Gabb Watch 3
  • Enter the child (the watch user’s) information
  • If your Gabb Watch 3 is powered on and Bluetooth is enabled on your parent smartphone, your smartphone will detect the Gabb Watch 3 – select the Gabb Watch 3 and click Select Device, then click Confirm and Connect, then click Next!
  • Create your child’s Gabb ID. This will automatically log your child into Gabb ID on their watch once pairing is complete. A child Gabb ID is your child’s secure user profile that will allow their settings and more to be backed up in Gabb Cloud and will allow your child’s watch to function properly
  • Connect the new Gabb Watch 3 to your Wi-Fi network in the parent MyGabb App. Connecting to Wi-Fi helps the watch get more accurate locations and will allow for critical software updates to be performed, including adding new apps to your child’s watch
  • Add previously created Safe Zones or create new ones in the parent MyGabb App. Safe Zones alert you when your child enters or leaves a designated area and enable improved GPS locations
  • You’re all paired!

Now that your Gabb Watch 3 is paired to your parent MyGabb App you can add up to 100 approved contacts that your child can call and text.

To activate your Gabb Watch 3 from Amazon, visit gabb.com/activate and to process your activation!

How do I set up Gabb ID?

A Gabb ID is created on the Gabb Phone itself inside of the Gabb ID App. Please make sure you’re connected to a strong WiFi network before opening the Gabb ID to create a Gabb ID.
Here are the steps to create your Gabb ID
Important Note
You must be connected to WiFi on your Gabb Phone (Z2) when opening the Gabb ID App to create your Gabb ID.
Steps
  1. Open the Gabb ID App
  2. Click on the “Create a Gabb ID” button.
  3. Enter a username and password.
  4. Enter verification code. This code is sent to the parent/account holder email. This is the Parent Gabb Account – the email that was first setup during the initial checkout experience with Gabb.
  5. Finish setup

Getting started with your Gabb Watch 3 that is a replacement or upgrade for an existing line

To set up your upgraded or replacement Gabb Watch 3, you’ll need to unpair the old watch from your MyGabb App, transfer the phone number from the old device to the new one, and then pair your new watch! To do so:
1. In the MyGabb App select the device profile of the old watch, then scroll all of the way to the bottom and select “Unpair”
  • Log in at gabb.com/account
  • Select the old device being replaced (view details)
  • Select “Swap SIM”
  • Enter in the 20 digit ICCID number of the new watch. It will be found on the packaging (retail box) of your new device
Your previous device’s phone number will then be transferred to the SIM card in the new watch! Restart or power on your new device in a high cell service area.

Turning on and unlocking your phone

Turn on your phone by pressing any button, and then tapping the Power button on the screen

Your phone screen will go dark and lock after you stop using it for a few seconds. This makes your phone’s battery last longer. It also makes sure you don’t accidentally open any apps when your phone is in your pocket or backpack

To unlock your phone, press the power button on the side of the phone, then hold lock and swipe up. You can lock your phone again by pressing the power button

You can also open your camera app from the lock screen. Tap and hold camera_alt, then swipe away from the icon.

There are some ways you can prevent other people from unlocking your Gabb Phone. You can set a password, PIN, unlock pattern or fingerprint.
