Hello, I keep getting an error message when trying to pair my son's new Gabb phone pro 3. I have an android phone and downloaded the recommended apps, restarted the phone, and both phones have enough service. I have also tried scanning the code and entering it manually. Getting frustrated here, please help!

    Hi @Nointernet and @Jeff - a few steps to follow and try for paring your Gabb phone with the parent MyGabb app for GPS tracking:

    1. Make sure the Gabb phone is active. If it can place calls and receive texts etc, it is active.
    2. Download the MyGabb App on your smartphone. Make sure you login using the same information you'd use to login at gabb.com/account. Login at gabb.com/account and make sure the Gabb device in question appears under that account. This will ensure you're not logging into a Gabb account on your app that is not associated with the Gabb phone.
    3. Connect the Gabb phone to WiFi.
    4. Open the MyGabb App on the Gabb device. You might need to scroll and tap "Show QR Code"
    5. You may now open your MyGabb App on your parent smartphone, click "add device" and scan the Gabb phone's QR code to pair.

    Im having the same issue. I was working the chat feature and they were trying to help, but after 6 hours messing with the app, the new phone is still not connected.

    I can't get my son's device paired either. I have been trying for days now! I have had to take an afternoon off work to deal with the incredibly slow user chat. Customer service isn't available during off business hours and I haven't been able to find a phone number anywhere for assistance other than the online chat. This is an incredibly frustrating experience.
