New Phone Setup
New iPhone or Android setup
We walk through the first-time setup, accounts and the basics so the phone is ready for everyday use.
Contacts, photos and message transfer
Where the old phone is accessible, we help move contacts, photos and supported messages to the new one.
Apple ID or Google account sign-in
You enter the password. We help with the official sign-in prompts, two-factor steps and account settings.
Email setup on the phone
We add the email accounts you need and test that new mail arrives on the phone.
Making the phone easier to use
Text size, notifications and home-screen basics can be adjusted so the phone feels less confusing from day one.
Connections and Everyday Apps
Home Wi-Fi connection
We join the phone to your home Wi-Fi and check that it stays connected in the rooms you use most.
Bluetooth accessories and hearing aids
Supported headphones, watches and hearing aids can be paired and tested during the visit.
Apps and app store access
We help install the everyday apps you need and check that the App Store or Play Store is working.
Passcodes, backups and basic security
We can set a passcode, check backup options and review basic security settings without taking over the account.
Suspicious messages or scam warnings
Unexpected pop-ups or messages on a new phone should be checked before you tap them. We help you recognise the common ones.

Setup with your existing home accounts
The phone is set up with the Wi-Fi, email and other devices you already use, then tested before the technician leaves.
iPhone and Android support
Common setup, transfer and account issues are supported on both iPhone and Android.
Patient, plain-English guidance
We show you the main buttons and settings you will actually use, without rushing through a script.
Clear starting price
A standard scheduled home visit starts from $160. Accessories and new subscriptions are separate.
Common problems solved
Problems we help with
You do not need to diagnose the problem before booking. Choose the closest service and the technician will work through the issue with you.
New phone setup is incomplete or confusing
A new iPhone or Android phone often still needs accounts, apps, email, backups and security settings finished. We can complete supported setup steps and test calls, messages and essential apps before we leave.
Contacts, photos or messages need transferring
If you are moving from an old phone, we can transfer available contacts, photos and app data using the phone's official tools, then check that the important items arrived on the new device.
Email will not work on the phone
Mail that never arrives, will not send or keeps asking for a password on the phone is usually an account or mail-app setting. We can add supported email accounts and test sending and receiving.
Apple ID, Google account or app store sign-in problem
If you cannot get into the App Store, Google Play, iCloud or a Google account, we can guide you through the official sign-in and recovery steps where you have the required details.
Phone will not connect to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
When the phone cannot join home Wi-Fi, drops off the network or will not pair with headphones, hearing aids or a car kit, we can check wireless settings and test the connection with your household devices.
Phone is hard to use and settings need simplifying
We can adjust display, text size, notifications and home screen layout so everyday tasks are easier, and explain the features you actually want to use without extra jargon.
