Hello @kmscanlan00,

Great question! Phone data such as contacts, photos, etc. are saved in the Gabb Cloud. To ensure all information is saved properly, follow these steps:

First: While the old Gabb Phone is still active (before activating the new phone):

1. Connect the phone to WiFi
2. Open the Gabb ID app
3. Log into your Gabb ID profile
4. Select the loading arrow at the bottom of the Gabb ID screen to ensure the device is fully backed up
5. Wait for the data to be fully backed up if necessary
6. Log out of the Gabb ID profile

Second: Activate the new Gabb Phone 4 Pro:

1. Connect the phone to WiFi
2. Open the Gabb ID app
3. Log into your Gabb ID profile
4. Allow the device time to back up the information from the old phone to the new phone
5. Stay connected to WiFi and logged into Gabb ID for fastest results

If you have any trouble with this process, our Gabb Support team would be happy to help during their working hours They can be contacted by chat at 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.

Hope this information helps!

👆🏼this needs to be in the instructions for all setup, nobody is telling you to backup first.

I am trying to switch all of my files onto my new gabb phone 4 pro and I was backing up my gabb phone so I can sign out of the gabb ID on it and I would go to restore it and then it would pause at a random number and not continue. It has been doing this for the past 1 hour and I have tried restarting a bunch of times and re trying it hasn't worked. What do I do?

Hi @Alivia,

Great question! Your post was merged into this one as it applies to the steps above and is a great addition to this post. If you experience a pause in the process of ensuring all data is backed up to Gabb Cloud before activating the new phone, the troubleshooting steps below can help:

1. Confirm that device is connected to WiFi.
2. Confirm that the device is logged into the Gabb ID that is assigned to the device in your MyAccount.
3. Confirm that Gabb ID is not signed into any other device.
4. Logout of Gabb ID and then log back into Gabb ID.
5. Manually back up data:
   1. Select the three dots in the upper-right corner in the Gabb ID on the Gabb Phone > select Back Up Now
   2. (Data syncing has a 10-minute timeout. If the data syncing times out, try manually backing up the data again)

Hope this helps!
