Upgrading to the Gabb Phone Plus with Gabb ID Transfer & New Apps!

ngl the old phone was alot better. i will never understand why they took the apps away that they took away.

Gabb doesn't explain very well how to swap the SIM card to a new phone, so this video was very helpful. I'd recommend putting SIM card in the description box because I bet there's a lot of parents that could use the same help. Thanks!

[@TechForKidz]

Glad it was helpful! I had to look through a few different articles first and then just went for it to see what would happen.

[@RockysFunAndHelpWorld]

@@TechForKidz Also, Gabb Wireless is not it's own wireless network, they actually use the Sprint/T-Mobile networks to provide cheap basic phone plans for kids. Gabb saves you money by not building a network, but partners with other networks. Gabb Wireless is considered as an Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO). Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile build networks, and they are Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)

Great concept but terrible execution. The spell check is horrendous turning correctly spelled words into misspelled words on a regular basis. It gets worse, though. The Gabb messenger takes 15 seconds to load a message on a regular basis. Using this phone to text is as painful as using a flip phone. 1.5 years ago the product was great, and I regularly recommended it to people: no longer. Plus, you can no longer receive text messages with links in them. Instead of just stripping out the link, the entire message is gone. Adding contacts is beyond painful. There is no way to import them, so "upgrading" a phone is an awful experience. Pro Tip: Stick to the first generation phone! Combine the lack of contact importing with being unable to receive MMS messages from people not in one's contacts, and I would never recommend someone "upgrade" their phone. Tech help is useless, and salespeople don't tell you about the changes to functionality between older and newer phones, so you get new hardware with limitations that didn't used to exist and that you didn't want, and you are locked into a crappy phone for two years. It is hard to describe how truly terrible my experience has been.

Thanks for the vid. Question: Where is the activate page located? Or is it supposed to just pop up? We swapped my sons old SIM card to his new gabb 3 and we didn’t get these pages (even though it tells us it’s set up). It’s basically a paperweight now. Wish Gabb had people to help.

[@DouglasCoombsNM]

Another update. The spell check has been much improved by basically getting rid of most attempted corrections. However, the phone has extreme lag when bringing up the phone or messaging apps. Sometimes there is so much lag that it disconnects me before I can enter the voicemail password.

It’s an iPhone. Is android is better controlled?

[@ModricoTV]

Does the Gabb Phone Plus have Samsung Video Library? You know, the purple app that allows you to watch MP4s from KZbin and the Internet Archive? Also, does this support file transfers from a Chromebook via USB? I mean, it IS an Android, but it has very limited Wi-FI access.

[@finn-boi_]

Maybe 😏

[@videodistro]

Why is there no email on our gabb phone?? Useless system. If I let my child text, I'd prefer they can also email, which is what we prefer. Useless phone even for my child.

[@TechForKidz]

Email cannot be filtered and when you have access to add an email account, you could then add others. If you need email, look up Family Link with Android phones.

Omg so my dad told me that if I do good for this school semester, then he will get me a phone. Specifically a Gabb Phone. And I was like “but why”? And my dad said because iPhones are very expensive when all of the adults in my family have an iPhone 14 and my mom has 2 iPhone 14s. Also my dad said that that is the cheapest phone. Goofy.

I take it this will take any SIM plan even though they don't mention it because they want you to sign up with them, correct? Also, this is the phone EVERY SINGLE CHILD SHOULD HAVE. I'm sick of hearing my son talk about all the bad things the kids in his 5th grade are looking up because their phones are completely unlocked and they can do whatever they want. It's absolutely ridiculous. We only need to know where they are and call and text them. If they want to talk with other friends, great but other than that there's no need. Great video! If it takes any SIM card/service/plan i'll be buying one tonight!

[@TechForKidz]

Sorry for the slow reply. I'm glad to hear you understand the concept. This does require a Gabb Plan, other carrier SIM cards will not work.
