To get started with Gimi, your child needs their own login details. For security reasons, we send a unique code to the email address or phone number used to log in to verify their identity.
If your child doesn't have their own phone number or email address, there are a few different ways to get started.
Create an email address for your child:
Creating an email address is usually quick and easy. There are several different services that offer email accounts, and we recommend Google Gmail.
Use a family member's phone number or email address:
You can use a phone number or email address belonging to a family member who does not use Gimi. You can also use an additional email address that you, as a parent, have.
The unique login code will then be sent to that phone number or email address.
Share your own email address with your child:
If you want to use your own email address as the login for your child as well, you can create an alias. This only works with Gmail.
Here's how:
When you are asked to enter an email address, start by entering your own email address. After your name, but before the @, add a "+" followed by the alias you want to use. This way, your child's verification code will be sent to your own email address.
