Gabb Watch 2

Amanda_W8

Is the Gabb 2 Watch no longer supported? Our current watch is no longer updating when our child leaves the house. Because of this, I have been looking into the Gabb 3. This search created questions:

Is there a way around the $30.00 activation fee if you're a current customer?

How does the billing work if you're in the middle of a current billing cycle?

and while I still have not found the answers to those two specific questions, doing this search has uncovered several questions / concerns showing there seems to be quite a few issues with the Gabb 3 watch; leading to hesitation on purchasing the upgrade.

How do I get the current Gabb 2 to update the location of the child wearing it?

Hello @Amanda_W8,

Sorry to hear that you are having some troubles with your Gabb Watch 2. We can assure you that our services still support the Gabb Watch 2, it is just no loner in stock for purchase. We would be happy to help answer your questions.

Is there a way around the $30.00 activation fee if you're a current customer? Good question! That $30 activation fee applies to all newly activated devices, including upgrades. When upgrading from the Gabb Watch 2 to the Gabb Watch 3, a new monthly service plan is required to support the new device. This activation fee is required.

How does the billing work if you're in the middle of a current billing cycle? If an upgrade device is purchased/activated in the middle of a billing cycle, your upcoming invoice will look a little different. You will see a prorate-out of your old plan (Gabb Watch 2 plan) and a prorate-in of the new plan. You can learn more about prorates and your monthly bill in our Gabb Billing article.
