Device setup in Sydney so the new gear works the way the old gear did

The new phone is on, but the banking app, the work sign-in, and years of messages are still on the old one. The new laptop stays in its box because moving everything across feels like a lost weekend for you.

We set up computers, phones, tablets, and printers across Sydney, carries files and accounts over with care, and check each one before we go. Request a call back, or book an eligible visit online.

Device setup · Sydney

Which part is holding you up - the move from the old device, the sign-ins, or the printer?

Sydney setups range from a single phone in a city unit to a whole family's new devices out west. Whatever the size, we start with what you rely on most, and move the rest across around it.

Setup calls from across Sydney

  • A new phone where two-step codes still arrive on the handset being retired.
  • A laptop for a new job that needs the work email, a meeting app, and a dock.
  • A printer that ignores every device except the computer it shipped with.
  • A tablet for a grandparent, set up simply with large text and video calls.
  • An old computer cleared properly before it is sold or given away.

After you reach out

  • Same-day timing is often possible when the diary allows, and we say when it is not.
  • We ask what changed and which devices are involved before suggesting a visit or remote session.
  • The price is set out before work starts, and you approve the plan.

Where we set up across Sydney

We visit homes and small offices right across Sydney, from the Inner West and Parramatta to the Hills District, the Upper North Shore, and the Northern Beaches. St George and Western Sydney calls come in often too, usually a household with several new devices that all need to talk to each other.

FAQ

Straight answers for Sydney

Most setup goes best in person, whether you are in the Inner West, the Hills District, or St George, because devices get connected where they will live.

Some account moves and settings can be finished remotely afterwards, which saves a second visit for small leftovers.

Usually. Contacts, photos, messages, and apps can be transferred, then we check banking, two-step codes, and sign-in apps open on the new handset.

We only suggest resetting the old phone once you have tried the new one and are happy nothing was left behind.

Yes. We connect the monitors, dock, webcam, and headset, then sort the camera angle and microphone settings.

Before we leave, we run a test call with you so you can see and hear exactly what the other people on the call will get.

Bring out the new device and, if you still have it, the old one, plus a note of the email addresses you use to sign in.

Passwords make it quicker, but if some are missing we work through account recovery with you. A list of the apps you use most also helps us set things up in the right order.
