About Gabb

Written by the company

Gabb is an American technology company that specializes in safe tech for kids and parent education. With kid cell phones and kid smart watches, Gabb offers the solution to digital communication in steps, offering parents peace of mind. Gabb prioritizes the safety and the mental health of children.

Gabb offers a safer, simpler mobile experience designed specifically for kids. With a focus on essential communication features, Gabb devices block access to the internet and harmful apps.

Gabb Wireless devices were intended to provide a basic, locked down alternative to adult smartphones with features such as calling and texting parent-approved contacts, GPS tracking, safe zones, and SOS alerts. At the same time, they lack features such as internet browsing, social media access, and app stores.

Gabb devices have safety built in with their own operating system. This sets them apart from competitors, since they don’t require complicated parental controls to protect kids’ devices. Instead, their devices are locked down from the start.

Gabb’s goal is to provide parents a no stress way to connect with their kids without exposing them to potential risks and distractions associated with unregulated smartphone access.

Gabb’s CEO Nate Randle actively advocates for single parents and safe tech for kids.

The Gabb support team responded to my text quickly. They asked all kinds of questions to help me figure out what was wrong with my son's Gabb watch 3e. Even though we weren't able to solve the problem right away, they offered a solution and checked back in with me the next day. I appreciate the quick response and the help I've received from them!

Excellent customer service…

The phone we bought had a lot of issues with calls not going through and no way to specifically turn on Wi-Fi calling. However, the customer service staff were excellent in helping us get it all straightened out. We had to have a lot of patience because it took a while and they ended up doing a factory reset, but they got it fixed. I really appreciate the excellent customer service help. I’m looking forward to our son being able to have a phone that does not have Internet access.

Overall it works well for just calling and texting. There is quite a delay in location, and updates. The sound quality is 4 out of 5.

Highly recommended…

I have had the Gabb phone for my daughter (13) for over 2 years now. Gabb technical service reached out to me and I actually did need their help. It was so efficient and easy! Sara was great! We just upgraded and I recommend this phone to anyone with kids under 18 who want the piece of mind of contact your kids without worrying about social media.
