Activating Your Chumby back to topics
Why should I activate my chumby?
Activating your chumby gives you access to the free Chumby Network, which offers a variety of widgets designed especially for the chumby. If you don't activate your chumby, it will only work as a clock.
What is the Chumby Network?
The Chumby Network offers a variety of widgets designed especially for the chumby. Access to the Chumby Network is FREE. No plans to sign up for, no monthly costs, no extra fees. The service is paid for by Chumby Industries and by sponsor companies who will be sending you widgets such as music, games, movie previews, customized alarm clocks, and special offers for products and prizes (called "Chumbooty" — coming soon), and who knows what else the future holds? Chumby Industries is 100% dedicated to keeping your widget channels new, intriguing, fun and FREE.
How do I activate my chumby?
First you have to create an account. Once you have an account and log in, go to Activate a chumby and follow the steps outlined.
How do I transfer an activated chumby?
If you want to give a chumby that you've already activated to someone else, all you need to do is delete that chumby from your account — deleting a chumby deactivates it. To delete a chumby:
- Log in and go to My Chumby Dashboard.
- Make sure the chumby appears in the dropdown menu next to "Select a chumby."
- Click on "delete" next to the dropdown menu and then confirm you want to delete the chumby.
Once you've deleted the chumby, the new owner of the chumby can activate it under his or her account.
