Why Gabb™
As they get older, kids need independence, and parents need the peace of mind that comes with knowing their kids are safe.
We Created Gabb to Give Parents the Best of Both Worlds:
A phone with everything a kid needs with none of the stuff they don’t!
If 2 out of 3 adults show signs of phone addiction, we can’t expect kids to develop healthy phone habits on their own!
You can think of Gabb as the training wheels or safety net around screen usage. Gabb Phones teach kids the skills they need to become successful, screen-savvy adults.

Kids might point out there’s less to do on a Gabb Phone than a smartphone. As parents, we’d like to respond: that’s exactly the point.
Protecting Kids
1 in 3 kids are a victim of cyberbullying. To us, that’s not okay. We aim to help lower those odds and protect kids from online bullying. Cyberbullying is a complicated issue, and we’re working hard to prevent it alongside parents and teachers.
- Social media is one of the main platforms where cyberbullying happens.
- Social media can help kids express themselves, but it can also be dangerous.
- 24/7 access to social media can mean 24/7 access to bullies.
- We encourage families to make smart decisions about social media use together!

Stay Connected With Friends and Family
Sometimes getting together in-person isn’t an option. Kids can stay connected to friends after school, or easily talk with grandparents and other family members who may live out of town. Kids with phones can easily reach out to their support system and develop relationships with relatives who love them.
High-Quality Device, Affordable Price
At $99.99, Gabb Phones are a smart and affordable choice for kids’ first phones. Parents have heard all kinds of stories about what happens to kids’ phones: from running the phone through the washing machine, dropping it in a lake, to simply losing it.
Luckily, a kid can mow a few lawns or babysit after school to help replace a $99.99 phone. Replacing a $700+ smartphone is a lot more painful!
Kid-Proof and Durable
Gabb Phones are built to be durable and to withstand daily use by kids. It’s still good to be careful, so we have a few tricks up our sleeves to really keep the phone safe.
Protective Cases
After you add the phone to your cart, you will have the option to select a case. At $12.99, these thin and light cases can protect the device from accidents.
Screen Protectors
Along with the cases, you can also add a screen protector for $9.99. This will help prevent scratches and cracks to the phone’s touchscreen.
Extended Warranty
The $4.99/month extended warranty covers damages from drops and spills. If you have an accident-prone kid, you will enjoy having the peace of mind.
Raise Kids Who Live Life Outside the Screen
There’s so much more to life outside the screen, and we want to help kids live their lives to the fullest. We know that screens are no substitute for real human connection, the great outdoors, and so much more! Gabb kids spend 80% less time on screens, and that’s a win for many reasons.
Too Much Screen Time Lowers Grades
Studies show that the more time kids spend on screens, the more difficult it can be to get good grades. Kids might say they’re great multitaskers, but math homework and social media just don’t go together!
Active Kids are Healthier and Happier
Playing outside, participating in sports, or exploring the outdoors are all great ways for kids to stay active! Moving around and getting outside helps improve kids’ mental health in addition to physical health. Kids need that vitamin D!
Real Life is Simply More Fun than Screen Time
Everyone is familiar with the allure of the screen, from babies to adults. It makes sense: screens are fun! However, as parents, we know that real life is even better. As kids learn to live life outside the screen, they’ll appreciate the skills they’re learning, the relationships they’re developing, and the memories they’re making: no screens required.

Kudos to Gabb.
The phone I ordered for my 10 year old son just arrived and I am beyond thrilled. As a parent who worries about online dangers kids face today, getting him this as his first phone was a no-brainer. Kudos to the awesome dad who saw the need and made this happen!
I love the communication!
I LOVE that she can communicate with me and friends anytime. I mostly love that once she’s done sending a text, she can put it away because there are no other distracting games or apps on it! She’s not constantly on her phone which is amazing!!!
Gabb has filled the void.
The Gabb Phone has filled a void in the cellphone industry that desperately needed filling. Kids today have a need to be connected, but big tech industries have failed children and their families by not providing legitimately safe options! Thank you for finally giving parents a good option! It allows my child to feel connected in a safe way.
Everything on the Gabb Phone is so easy!
Everything on the Gabb Phone is so easy. Photos are easy to access. I can let my parents know I’m okay. I like that it has no internet so I’m not getting into Snapchat and all that stuff.
I am so glad someone has finally done this.
In all the work I do with high schoolers, I don’t envy our kids in this world of hyper-connectivity. I am SO glad someone has finally done this. Long overdue, so this is the first time I’ve ever considered a phone for my kids! THANK YOU!
I knew Gabb Wireless was the right answer.
When I first saw an ad for Gabb Wireless I knew right away it was the answer. I don’t want my son to be exposed to social media, addiction, and bullying. He’s too young to deal with that. This world gets really hard, really fast and I’m more than happy to keep it simple for my kids, as long as I can.
I’d rather have a Gabb Phone than a smart phone!
I’d rather have a Gabb Phone than a smartphone, it’s just a lot safer. There are so many things you can do on it. Like with the voice recorder, I record my songs and stuff that I like.
It looks like an iPhone.
I like how it looks like an iPhone. It’s so easy to text. You feel protected so you don’t waste so much time on it. We’re hanging out and doing stuff with each other more.
