The Pixbee Pro is a brilliant watch and needs a reliable network and Nano-SIM card to support it.

The Pixbee Pro Kids Watch requires a Nano-SIM card. It is best supported by a Vodafone, Telstra, or Optus Nano-SIM (either pre-paid or post-paid) with a minimum 2GB capacity to facilitate the Pixbee’s super-cool functions like voice and video calls, SMS, and image sharing.

If you fall into this category, we recommend you physically go into a Telstra, Optus, or Vodaphone store (or contact your specific service provider) directly with your Pixbee Pro and ask them to supply, format, and insert a nano-SIM for you.

Yes, but check with your provider to ensure the other specs of the Nano-SIM card support the needs of the Pixbee Pro. It’s specs should be on the back of the Nano-SIM packet.

We suggest you update your Pixbee Pro watch Firmware when you first set up your Pixbee Pro and continue to check if updates are required.

To update the firmware on the Pixbee Pro Watch, please follow the below steps:

  1. Swipe from right to left on the Pixbee Pro watch and enter main menu. Slide up to 4th page and enter setting menu.
  2. Swipe up until you see ‘Update’ come up in the options.
  3. Press ‘Update’ to check if there are any Firmware updates. Press the arrow in the middle of the screen to initiate the Firmware update.
  4. Once the Firmware update has downloaded and you have pressed the arrow your Pixbee Pro watch will re-start and update its Firmware, you’re done!

A geofence zone is a virtual boundary set by you around a designated area on your map. Say your watch-wearer is going to the park with their friends. Maybe you’re a little apprehensive. Bring up the map on the Pixbee App, find the park’s location, set a red boundary around its outside perimeter, and rest assured you will get a notification from Pixbee if your child leaves this zone.

Good question, but one best answered in our manual, so follow this link.

You will receive a notification directly to your smartphone. However, something as simple as an outdated app or a smartphone low on battery (or is about to die) is enough to throw the best-laid plans to a fault.

To make sure you can always receive notifications when your child enters or leaves a safe zone, make sure your smartphone is on, fully charged, the App is running, and your phone is off silent.

You can make SOS requests (calls) to the numbers listed in your emergency contacts in an emergency. To do this, hold down the power button on the right of the watch. The SOS request will trigger a call to the contacts on the emergency list.

You can do this through the Pixbee Pro App. The SOS calls are sequenced.

You can’t disable the siren. Please check out our Dear Pixbee pro page where we discuss this function, including how to best educate your small person on its appropriate use.

Your child can receive incoming SMS messages from approved contacts. Your child or watch-wearer can then call the message sender back or send back an emoji.

Pixbee Pro has removed this feature to avoid the temptation for your small person to spend unnecessary time texting. We want to ensure kids are safe and connected but also and encouraged to spend time IRL (in real life).

Parents and guardians can send texts to their watch wearer, who can only reply and acknowledge in emojis- like a thumbs up. This is so your watch wearer can get the information they need but isn’t compelled to spend all day texting. “Hey Mick, I am going to be 5 minutes late can you wait at the gate?”

There are several steps to go through to block unknown calls. Please follow this link to the manual, which has clear steps to guide you through the process.

The Pixbee Pro watch can only make video calls to approved contacts, who also have the Pixbee Pro App on their smartphone and have the App paired to the Pixbee Pro watch they are trying to call. This allows you to safely make video calls, thanks to the security offered by the software in the Pixbee Pro watch and Pixbee Pro App.

In order to make a video call, the caller will need to be added to Pixbee Pro as an Approved Contact via the App. To add a new, approved contact and enable them to make receive video calls to Pixbee Pro, they will need to download the Pixbee Pro App, register a new account and pair the Pixbee Pro to the App. During the pairing process, Pixbee Pro will ask the main Pixbee Pro App account holder for permission to allow this person to be an approved connection with your Pixbee Pro. The administrator Pixbee Pro App account holder can remove this new person as an approved contact, anytime.

Once your approved contact downloads the Pixbee Pro App, pairs with the Pixbee Pro watch and is granted access, they will have full access to your Pixbee Pro App features, so they will be able to see the watch wearers’ location, change settings and more. In light of this, we recommend only granting this access to people that you trust implicitly.

Please note, if you are not able to physically get to the Pixbee Pro watch you are trying to the App with, we suggest you ask the Pixbee Pro watch owner to take a photo of the QR pairing code on the Pixbee Pro watch and send it to you or someone else you trust so that you can then pair the Pixbee Pro App to the watch remotely.

We have several suggestions to help get you back on track. Please be aware, video calls can only be made between the Pixbee Pro App and the Pixbee Pro watch.

Things to check:

  1. Have you updated the Firmware on your Pixbee Pro watch?
  2. Is your Pixbee Pro App the most current version? (You can check for updates in the App update section on your smartphone)
  3. Is your Pixbee Pro App paired to the Pixbee Pro watch correctly?
  4. Is your Pixbee Pro watch connected to a strong Wi-Fi or mobile network?
  5. If using mobile data, have you ensured that your SIM card has had its data enabled?

Please note, on rare occasions using your Pixbee watch or the
Pixbee App in an area that is heavily built up, remote, or with little reception, this has been known to momentarily impact the clarity of video
calls. We suggest you contact your network provider to confirm there is a coverage issue in your area.

If you have run through these steps and are still having trouble, please email our help desk at info@pixbee.com.au and we’ll be happy to assist you further.
