Nothing coming through on phone
For a month now, my daughter has not been able to send or get messages. She has also not had her phone ring when called. The bill has been paid on time. It shows a signal and she is also still connected to our WiFi. I have tested it multiple times. I have called her while sitting next to her and it not ring on her phone. I have sent messages that went through on my side, but she doesn’t get. She has also tried sending me messages which never come in. I have emailed GABB support with this problem and have not gotten any reply. If it isn’t going to work when I need it then I want to cancel before next bill. Anyone had this problem and if so what was done to fix it?
Thanks

This happened to my childs phone. The customer service reprovisioned ours too and it worked after that.

I left my kid home alone for the first time and his phone wouldn’t let him call anyone and I couldn’t call him. It was awful and he was terrified. Can’t get anyone to chat or respond to my concerns to fix it. I’m sooooooo unimpressed by this phone!

My daughter has repeatedly had this problem- the phone and text services not working- on and off for several months. We have had the customer service reps reprovision the line repeatedly and it usually helps, but only temporarily. They have done several other things and the issue remains unresolved. We have several times when my daughter was unable to contact me, or I her, for hours at a time. Things get fixed temporarily, but then it suddenly stops working again- sometimes at very upsetting times when she really needed her phone. But even when I am able to reach a customer service rep, it can sometimes take days to get that temp fix and we are without service in the meantime.
There must be something more that can be done so that my daughter can have reliable phone service.1 -
Hi @OliveMom,

Glad to see I’m not the only one. We’ve had the same issues constantly since getting the Gabb phone a little over a year ago.
Have been through customer support at least a half dozen times, tried all the resets etc. They work for a couple days and then the phone again stops receiving texts and has issues making and receiving calls.0 -

Hi @ReaganKowal, I’m still having this same issue after following all the troubleshooting steps multiple times: clear cache, reprovision line, new SIM, factory reset. All of these provided temporary fixes but now calls are once again not coming through (the phone rings but doesn’t show who’s calling and doesn’t give the option to answer).
Do you have any other suggestions?0 -
Hello @AnotherDad
So sorry that you are still experiencing this issue after following all those troubleshooting steps. The next steps our team would take is checking to see if your device qualifies for a Manufacturer Warranty.
If the device does not qualify due to being past the 1 year warranty or there is damage to the phone, there are several amazing discounts in our upgrade program. You can find the upgrade options in your MyAccount on the website.
Our Customer Support can be contacted by chat on www.gabb.com, or by phone at 385.235.6646 Monday-Friday from 7:00 a.m-6:30 p.m., MT or Saturday from 7:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. MT.
