Start with the basics.

We use this to review your request and contact you about next steps.

+1

Does this sound like you?

You want your phone set up right from the start

You have a new or replacement phone

Set up the accounts, security, communication, apps, and preferences that make the phone useful from the first day.

The setup started but now feels stuck

Work through one clear setup problem, such as email, an account, an essential app, a confusing prompt, or an important setting.

You want the phone to feel comfortable to use

Adjust text, display, notifications, privacy, accessibility, and everyday features around how you communicate and stay connected.

Defined outcomes

Leave with the important settings understood and checked

A secure, accessible start

Review sign-in, recovery, updates, device finding, and automatic-backup settings while you keep control of every account.

A phone set up for daily use

Connect essential communication, selected apps, privacy settings, notifications, and display or accessibility preferences.

A clear handoff

Verify the important functions, explain where key settings live, and receive a written summary of what was completed.

Eligibility first

Make sure the phone is ready before you pay

Good fit

The phone is accessible and ready to configure

This service works when the phone turns on, can be unlocked by its owner, can connect to the internet, and you can access the accounts you need.

  • The phone powers on, reaches normal setup or the home screen, and accepts input from its owner.
  • You can access the required accounts, Wi-Fi information, and carrier details when activation guidance is needed.
  • You can participate during the session and use a second communication device if the phone cannot be used for the call.

Not covered

The phone needs transfer, recovery, repair, or carrier resolution first

We pause when old-device data must move, account ownership is unresolved, hardware has failed, or a carrier must resolve activation or billing.

  • The phone needs a data transfer, full backup, password recovery, security bypass, or carrier-number dispute resolved first.
  • The phone will not power on, needs physical repair, is locked to a previous owner, or is employer-managed without authorization.
  • The request is for broad photo cleanup, ongoing technical support, carrier-plan selection, or unlimited application setup.

Before and after booking

A defined setup service, with clear limits

What your guided phone setup is designed to do

The goal is a phone that is securely accessible, connected, personalized, and ready for the everyday tasks that matter to you.

  • Review access, updates, device finding, automatic-backup settings, and the core privacy and security choices.
  • Connect essential communication and selected apps, then personalize notifications, display, accessibility, and battery preferences.
  • Verify the important daily-use functions and provide a written setup summary.

When another service should come first

We explain the boundary before payment whenever possible and route data movement, cleanup, recovery, or repair to the correct next step.

  • We identify transfer, repair, account-access, and carrier blockers before payment whenever possible.
  • We never add guided time or cost without your approval.
  • If a provider-controlled delay stops the session, we document the issue and reschedule remaining eligible time without charging for the delay.

Questions answered

Guided phone setup FAQs

Can you transfer everything from my old phone?

Data movement, backups, restores, and migrations belong to Backup & Transfer. We can set up the new phone after the transfer is complete and help review the settings that make it comfortable to use.

Can you help if I already started setting up my phone?

Possibly. Describe where you are stuck in the request. If the issue fits an eligible phone setup session, we confirm the fit before payment. Provider, carrier, account-access, transfer, repair, and recovery issues may need a different next step first.

What should I have ready for the session?

Have the phone charged, connected to Wi-Fi, and available to its owner. You will enter your own account credentials and verification codes, so please do not send them to us. A second device for the call can be useful if the phone is still in setup.

Do I need to share passwords?

No. You enter all passwords, passcodes, verification codes, and recovery information yourself. We guide the process without taking control of your accounts.

Can you help set up a refurbished or pre-owned phone?

Possibly. Tell us in the request so we can review readiness first. We cannot bypass Activation Lock, Factory Reset Protection, carrier locks, or another person’s account.

Can an adult child book for a parent?

Yes. One contact can request help, and we confirm the participant and communication details during follow-up. Setup details are shared only with the participant’s consent.
