I was struggling getting my new phone to activate and another phone I wanted the plan changed. I chatted with customer service and Sara helped me so quickly with both issues!! Such great phones for my teens and a safe "house" phone to have around!!

Great for preteens
We have had the Gabb watch for our 11 year daughter for 2 years now. It has been great to be able to connect with her when needed and we love that we can monitor who she is in contact with by being able to manage her contacts.

We’ve had a Gabb phone for several years now, this is actually our second. I so appreciate the peace of mind it gives as well as the chance to start teaching my kids smart phone habits. I have found them very helpful every time I needed anything.

We are VERY pleased with GABB products
We are VERY pleased with GABB products. We’ve been using your service for over 2years now and will continue to stay with you as our daughter goes through high school. GABB is safe and secure and I personally feel confident as a parent that my child is safe and protected

We love hearing this! Thank you for being a part of our Gabb family.💙
So far so good with the Gabb phone 4 for my almost 11 year old. Set up was relatively easy. He is so excited to have a way to directly communicate with friends and family, and I am so excited the device’s safety and age-appropriateness has been thought through so well!
Also customer service has been excellent — very responsive and friendly.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review!! We really appreciate it and your feedback. :)
The watch does exactly what I need it to do. The platform is easy to navigate and set up if fluid. A little patience is needed because new devices need to be updated and restarted a few times before everything syncs. Overall, well worth the wait.

Thank you, Meghan! We're so glad to hear the watch is working well for you and that you found the setup process easy to navigate. We appreciate you sharing your experience and your patience during the initial updates. Thanks for choosing Gabb—we hope you continue to love your watch!
The Gabb phone has some good things going for it (flagging potentially suspicious texts, location tracking) but the problems with the phone may outweigh those benefits. There is no way to know when someone left a voicemail other than always checking the voicemail. There is no notification otherwise. And when a call is missed, it seems to tally all calls ever missed such that it'll show 40-something missed calls when maybe it was just 1 or 2.
I tried troubleshooting the voicemail issues with Gabb reps a couple times, no luck. It was hard enough transferring an existing phone number to the Gabb phone. I had been warned about setup issues by my sister-in-law but thought maybe it was just because her son had the Gabb watch. She ended up ditching the watch and getting something else for her son after awhile.
I can't say I recommend this phone, at least not in its basic form (no web/apps, just phone, text, camera).

Great starter device that gives sense of security!
We purchased a watch 2 years ago for my son. So now that he is ready for a phone, it was a no brainer to stick with Gabb. The purchasing, shipping and transfer/setup of new device was quick and easy. As parents, we enjoy being able to monitor usage for safety while allowing him opportunity to stay I communication with friends outside of school. Great stater devices that allow parents security!

I recently bought this device for my nephew, and transactions were smooth, once I received the device Gabb checked on me to see if I’m enjoying it, and if I needed anything they were there to help. Love that they checked on me. 5 stars!

Got Gabbed
I have had a grand total of 6 gabb watches for my kids. Failure rate in their hardware is way too high. When the device isn’t pending a software update inexplicably failing to connect to a cell towers or refusing to produce location data it does at least manage to be a lower tier smart watch. Of course that was as of 10 months ago. The last watch working gave up the ghost. The line stayed active because gabb refused to admit their hardware failed and wanted me to buy a whole new device or pay $140 early cancellation fee.
I can not stress this enough……do not get Gabb if you have any other options. The price is appealing but even as cheap as they are, you will not get what you are paying for.

So far so good
So far, so good with the Gabb 4 phone. This is a great starter phone for my 11 yr old son. He is able to message family and friends, plus we can track where he is at, as well as the phone calls and text messages he sends and receives.
