I, the primary contact/guardian, can't call or text Gabb 3 Watch. Everyone else can.

I can receive my daughter's calls and texts, but my texts to her don't go through and my calls ring once (for me. Not at all on the watch) before a message saying the voicemail box has not been set up. How can I fix this? All other contacts work both ways.

Has anyone else struggled to reset their gabb 3 watch? I first tried on the app but removing and resetting, but all it did was remove the device. Then I tried on the watch and the reset screen comes up but it doesn't reset.

I'm trying to do this because it stopping making calls. The most important this is having a reliable way to contact my kid, especially in the summer, and gabb is not delivering.
