It’s that time of year again—time to start thinking about spending time with friends and family, planning exciting holiday activities, and of course, giving gifts. 🎁
We want to make sure that you and your child have a great experience this holiday, so here are two things to help ensure your Gabb gift is successful:
- Holiday checklist: Complete these items before your child opens their device so it’s ready to go out of the box.
- Delayed activation: Buy your device early, start your service plan closer to the holiday.
Holiday Checklist: Make your new Gabb device a success this holiday
To make sure giving your child a new Gabb Phone or Gabb Watch is the best gift experience possible this holiday season, perform the following steps before your child opens their gift:
‼️Complete these setup steps by December 16 to make sure your child’s new Gabb device is ready to go when they open it.
- Purchase your device:
- New lines: New lines can be purchased on gabb.com or on select online marketplaces, like Amazon and Walmart (pending availability).
- Upgrade or replacement lines: Use the Upgrade or Replace option inside your Gabb account, or order a device from an online marketplace.

After you’ve finished these steps, your new Gabb Phone or Gabb Watch is ready to go! As soon as your child opens their gift, they’ll be able to use their new Gabb device right away. You won’t have to log on or contact us to get their device ready that morning.
Delaying activation/service for the holiday
We're happy to offer delayed activation this holiday season. Delayed activation allows you to buy your gift early and have it ready to go when your child is ready to unwrap their gift. If you want to buy your child’s new Gabb device early this holiday season, but wait to activate it until later, delayed activation may be for you.
Here’s how delayed activation works:
- Buy a new Gabb Watch 3e, Gabb Phone 4, or Gabb Phone 4 Pro on gabb.com between October 30-November 25.
- Select Delayed Activation at checkout.
- Your device will automatically activate between December 1-5.
- Set up your new device between December 5-16.
- Wrap your gift. Your child will be able to use their device right when they unwrap it, without you needing to log on or contact us.
Happy Holidays!
