Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why are we offering a new GPS feature?
-
Does the GPS feature give kids directions?
The GPS feature is exclusively designed as a “find my phone” asset-to enable a parent to find the lost Gabb phone, rather than provide the child with a satellite map of their surroundings.
-
Who can use the new GPS feature?
This new GPS feature in the “MyGabb” app is available to any Z2 user. It works with one or more Z2 phones, paired with an Apple or Android phone.
-
How do I get the GPS feature on my phone?
Your Z2 Phone has an app called “MyGabb”. This app will provide a QR code that can be scanned by your parent’s phone to pair with the Gabb Phone. Simply go to the App Store or Google Play Store and download the parent “MyGabb” app. Then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
-
What are the main benefits of the GPS feature?
We know kids lose things. The GPS feature will help parents find a child’s Z2 phone- whether it got left at the park or slipped in the couch cushions. In the parent app, you can see the location of the Z2 in real time, and have it play a sound in case it’s hiding; making recovery that much easier.

Why we’re offering this new feature
Enabling GPS is the first of many services we plan to offer that give parents peace of mind, and give kids a device that has all of the features they need. By focussing on the essentials, rather than the extra distractions, Gabb Wireless will continue to provide the innovative device that kids want, and that parents need.
At Gabb Wireless, we are dedicated to providing the ideal mobile product for parent and child. The new GPS feature for the Z2 phone is the latest development in our progressive mission: to ensure connection in all the right ways, and to encourage life beyond the screen.

How do I pair my phone with my child’s Z2 phone?
Once the MyGabb app is installed on both phones, open the app and follow the prompts on each device. Some sign-in information will be required for your phone, in addition to confirming your email address. For a more detailed step-by-step guide to this process, watch the tutorial video below.
Simple, adding the GPS feature to our device adds an additional layer of safety. Being able to find and locate the device gives parents peace of mind, and puts an end to that terrible cycle of losing and having to replace expensive phones.
