ADT has been the best home system service we have ever had. They are so thorough, professional and always prompt when our alarm goes off, or when we need assistance from customer service. We are so pleased and very happy with service. Thank you.

We have been customers of ADT for several years. It has been comforting to know that we could leave home or go to bed at night without fear of someone breaking in and threatening our lives. Also, we have not worried about fire because of the touchpad which will notify the fire department or the police if necessary with only one touch. We couldn't be happier and the peace of mind is well worth the price.

I'm very glad that I purchased ADT's service. It makes me feel secure. So far I've had no problems but it's nice to know that it's there if I need it. Several of my neighbors have had break-ins. I am not sure that they have ADT but Three neighbors across the street from me have been broken into. So far I have been exempted. Thank heaven. So I think having ADT is a good deterrent.

The system works very well. We have always had immediate notification and quick service if we have had any problems. Our one complaint is that the alarm went off in the early hours of the morning due to low battery. It was hard to go back to sleep. Now a new battery will be mailed to us but will take 7-10 days, so until then each night we have to set the alarm so that it will not go off while we are asleep. I think shipping should be expedited.

I like using your service, even if the price is higher than what I was paying in Illinois. The service works just as expected. The testing is very painless when needed, which is weekly. I have used ADT for the last 8 years and will continue to use them.
Original Review: Sept. 20, 2017
After being an ADT customer for over 10 years with no issues, I relocated to another state. Again, no issues. Then, I moved across town the following year, and had an awful experience, from the (lack) of customer service, to erroneous charges to my debit card: an $800 + cancellation fee, and TRIPLICATE debits for the activation/monitoring fee. Both incidents were disruptive to my budget -- I spent an inordinate amount of time on the phone with both ADT and my bank. If it were not for the outrageous contract I'm bound to with ADT, I would definitely take my business elsewhere. The only redeeming comment I can make is that the tech who installed my system was helpful and friendly.

ADT allows me to feel safe in my home, a thing that's a little hard to come by these days. The only problems I have ever had with my ADT Security System are ones that I created myself. However, I wish ADT would come up with a software system that would allow them to test all covered windows and doors REMOTELY on a scheduled basis.

We responded to an ad that showed a great price for product and service that we were looking for in a security system. ADT is a respected and well known name, so we called. I found out that we were not actually talking to ADT but an ADT dealer. I was ok with it, but I just did not realize it before calling. The rep on the phone was extremely helpful and got us set up for an in-house meeting. I was not thrilled with the fact that I could not get any real price info over the phone, but I was ok with it. The rep came to our house, and he was great. He was informative, helpful, friendly, and he made us feel very comfortable with our purchase.
The only thing I would say that I was not thrilled with is the final cost, but I chalk that up as my not understanding the ad. I thought we were getting free equipment, but it was just $800 off the total cost of what we got. It was still good, and I would do it again. I just did not understand at first. Our rep has stayed in contact with us to make sure we are happy which is great. Overall, we are very happy with our purchase and strongly recommend ADT to anyone who wants a security system.

We have used ADT for several years and have been happy with it. The only issue we have is the cost to add a sensor. We were told at the time of installation we could have up to 8 sensors without additional charges. In our new house we only needed 4, but since we added a door to the back of the house, we were asked to pay $138 to have 1 sensor put in. Service has been good, but the wireless card in our system has been replaced 3 times, the last one appears to have been a good one, so no issues for a while. We will still stay with ADT, just wish additions were not so high. We ended up moving an internal sensor to the external door. All is good.

I first became aware of ADT's products, monitoring service and support while in the Army. ADT was in the lead by providing the most advanced, computer assisted line security, remote monitor queries rate per minute, rapid notification of MP station when activations occurred with the monitoring personnel working with us till alarm activation was resolved. When I wanted a home security service and system, I went to ADT because a check showed they were still the industry leader in sensor design, site placement of local site sensor monitor/control unit, integrated UPS (uninterrupted power supply), line security and multiple queries per minute with the same quality corporate monitoring staff.
Since I have started my service with ADT, ADT has implemented several new automated and remote systems that further improve my home's security. Sure there are cheaper systems offered, but I remember the old saying is, "You get what you pay for." I know what I am getting from ADT, peace of mind that my home security is being watched over by the best monitoring and support service available on a 24/7 basis. No matter when I have called, and for whatever the reason, a knowledgeable person answered and took care of my needs without referring me to other numbers to call. I am happy with my ADT service.

Then there were also times when I had to have ADT out to install the sensor again after having a new front door put up and to disconnect a sensor between two rooms after adding a spa room behind our bathroom. I never had any troubles with the technicians that they sent out.

I've had ADT since 2002 and they were a little high but they adjusted their price. I have the motion detectors and fire alarms. I also have the windows and door protection which is on a remote. The installation team has been great and I've had interaction with them when I've had problems since then. Six months ago, I found out that my smoke alarms were not connected to the alarm going out to the fire department, so they came out and installed an alarm and put it on the wireless system.

I am submitting this review/complaint in behalf of my father. This is an unresolved issue from June 2017. On 6/23/17 due to a lightning storm my father's ADT Security system got damage. Since he couldn't afford the repairs and is not bound to a contract, he chose to disconnect the service. However, it has taken me nearly 3 months to have them cancel the service/billing. I've made about 20 phone calls and sent several emails with a cancellation letter as per their request along with my POA so I could deal with this situation and not having to involve my father into this. Unfortunately, I never got a response from ADT.
They claim not receiving anything from me except 1 time they got the cancellation letter which according to them it didn't have a signature. On 7/21/17 I spoke with a manager by the name Mr. ** and he asked me to email him the same letter along with the POA to **. On that day he also stated that ADT will be sending my father a credit of $70+. Every conversation I've had with ADT is a worthless effort, they don't take any positive actions towards our request.
My father never received that credit and is still being billed for a service he hasn't used since 6/23/17. The bill has accumulated to almost $147.00 and because it hasn't been paid I am afraid they file a negative report with the credit bureau, causing an additional problem for my father. I contacted the psc.state.ga.us to see if they can help me with this matter and a representative got back to me with the following statement: "Unfortunately, the GPSC has no regulatory authority over privately-owned security systems. We only regulate the rates of public, investor-owned utilities such as Atlanta Gas Light and Georgia Power. We also give licenses to phone companies to provide residential landline phone service in the state. You may wish to contact the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs at 1-800-869-1123 for help with this matter." I received this email on August 24, 2017 11:24 AM.
On 9/12/17 I called ADT once again to see if they could finalize this situation. However, it was extremely frustrating to deal with the representative. Since the beginning of the call I told her I needed to talk to a manager, she wouldn't transfer the call nor she had a manager come to the line. And as always I got the same response from them: "We haven't received a signed letter", "We need to speak to your father before canceling the service." Since I asked why they haven't got in contact with me after I sent several email with this request, the same representative stated: "Yes we have called but you didn't answer" I told her no one has called me but if they did, they should've leave a message on my voicemail. Her response to that was: "By law telemarketer can't leave messages on voicemails." Today I contacted the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs of my state, hope they can do something about this.

This is seriously the worst company I have ever dealt with along with their contracted company Defenders. Following a break in, I had ADT home security system installed and I thought everything was going to be secure in my home. I couldn't have been more wrong! The problems started with my dog's bark setting off the glass break sensors causing me to come home from what I was doing to turn off the alarm multiple times. The crappy application was barely functional and so I had no other choice but to come home to stop the beeping to calm my dog down.
Then when I got a call to see if it was a false alarm or a real alarm, the woman I spoke with was incredibly rude! This all happened within 48 hours of getting the system installed so I decided to cancel because I was within my 3 day cancellation window (now I know why the cancellation window is so small!). I was given a fax number and told my cancellation form had to either be faxed or postmarked by 8/28 and so I tried faxing 6 different times only to receive a busy signal. Then I put the signed copy in the mail and they "Never received it"!!! What a SCAM!!! It's 2017, have you ever heard of scanning and e-mailing documents?!! No, because you are trying to scam people into staying with your awful company!
I have been calling and writing almost every day for over 2 weeks trying to get this situation resolved and I will not stop until it is. I finally spoke to someone with Defenders who allowed me scan and e-mail my fax attempts as proof of my cancellation and he scheduled an appointment for someone to remove my equipment. Guess what?! THEY NEVER SHOWED UP!!! My husband had to rearrange one of his only days off to wait for this guy who never showed. We even had to pay for our dog to go to daycare because he is not good with strangers. This is hands down the worst and most unprofessional experience I have ever dealt with and I would advise anyone reading this to go with one of the many other options out there!

I am very unhappy. I have spent thousands on ADT Pulse items for my home and I pay monthly for service and now the ADT Pulse app has completely stopped working. What's the point in having ADT Pulse if you can't use the app? ADT's Pulse app is the only app out of the zillions of apps I use that doesn't work at all - No other companies have this issue. That is the whole reason I got ADT in the first place. You have got to be kidding me. I want everyone to know. The old app worked fine and then ADT decided it had to give the Pulse app a new look and this newer app from a few months ago didn't work for two days. They finally got it working again and then, since 7 days ago the Pulse app completely stopped working. You can't see your cameras, you can't open your garage door, you can't turn a light on, you can't lock your door, etc. You can't do anything but you have paid for all of this equipment and you get to keep paying for it each month.
Every time I try to use the Pulse app just says "operation failed" and sometimes it says "can't connect to the server". I had the tech out who couldn't do anything. I wasted TWO HOURS on the phone with ADT tech support which was just pointless. All tech support can do is put in a ticket, oh and tech support doesn't work on the weekends which I had called on a Saturday. No one from ADT will call me with an update and I don't even know if ADT is working on the Pulse app because they can't communicate with individuals because they are too big. I.e. NO ONE CARES THAT YOUR PULSE APP DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. The tech told me to keep calling customer service and keep trying the Pulse app every day to see if it works. Really? I am supposed to use my valuable time as a paying customer to keep telling ADT to do their job?
How many times do I have to tell ADT the app doesn't work? Fix the app ADT!!! If your app developers can't fix why don't you hire people who know how to fix it? Communicate with your customers ADT. We are the ones keeping you in business. ADT IS TOO BIG TO CARE. I was told that based on the percentage of problems customers are having is how the techs decide what to fix. But no one can tell me if others are having problems with the ADT Pulse app and what the percentage is and no one can tell me when or if anyone will work on the problem. It is pointless to have ADT Pulse if you can't use the app.
Of course, no one from ADT has called about the ticket I put in 7 days ago. The customers don't matter. No one takes ownership of the issue and there is no one at ADT you can work with directly. Even the techs have to call customer service. What a joke. All I can do is put my feedback on every single site that the app doesn't work and who knows if it ever will.

I don't know where to begin. My daughter in Murfreesboro, TN needed to upgrade the security system in her home. When she moved in, the security company told her that it was not possible to install an alarm horn or outdoor cameras. The eaves of her house are very high and the attic did not permit ready access to placement positions. Robert ** from ADT Security Services in Nashville worked for 6 hours one day and recruited Perry ** to help. Both of these installation technicians returned and worked another 6 hours!!! They came up with an solution that really demonstrated their skill, product knowledge, determination to deliver excellent service. These men accomplished what others had failed. They were friendly and maintained their sense of humor when I accidentally unplugged the camera while they were downloading its online installation. Thanks guys!!! You are wonderful!

I've had ADT for about 10 years. I got the yard signs, motion detectors in the house and keypads at three locations. It was one person who did the installation. We’re hardwired all through the attic and down on the walls. It’s quite a job but he did a really good job. I’ve got a lot of screens on the windows so he had to run wires to all the windows in the house as was the doors and the overhead garage doors. Then, I had him come back and install the monitor of the fire detectors. I had him come back again and do the wireless system in.
I’ve got nothing but good memories with ADT. It couldn't be better. I set my alarm off by accident in the morning quite often and right away, I get a call. It was set off twice in the middle of the night and not by me. I didn’t turn the alarm off and a live person called. I told him to call the police because I didn’t know what was happening. I couldn’t be happier. I’ve had other alarm companies come by wanting me to take a business with them but there’s no way I would change. I absolutely recommend ADT.

I tried telling an ADT rep that I was having problems with the door closing but she started to be a little bit inconsiderate, let me know the alarm had gone off and that I was subject to charge by the fact that the police have to come out to the phone. It was quite irritating as she wouldn't understand or hear my side of the story. At one point, I was at the brink of getting another company because I was so disturbed by that person who received my call. But I called another time and got another person. Then they sent the technician out who was very nice and made up for all of the ills. He took care of the problem and I haven't had it since. So far, ADT gets the job done and my home is secured and that's enough.

Customer service for ADT has to be the worst that I have ever experienced! They neglected to take down proper information when making an appointment. I asked to have the technician call on my cell to let me know that he was coming so that I could be home. He called my home number because that is what the representative wrote on the order. Needless to say, I missed my appointment. Also, when I called, the representative pulled up the wrong account because she put the wrong number in to look for my account. Makes me wonder how well our home is being monitored!
My next appointment was between the hours of 8 am-9 am. Again, after speaking to a manager to make sure that they had my cell, he called on the home line. He also showed up at 9:45 am.

We had a dispute over the price of our security system with ADT. I wanted them to put a security doorbell so I called them. Their rep said that I’d get two free keypads if I choose their Pulse System. I asked for smoke detectors instead and he said it will cost $100 each. I ordered four. I also wanted a siren outside because the last one I had didn’t work. He said that will cost $90 and I told him I’d pay for that. He never mentioned any other money and he said that they would just add the doorbell to my payment each month. That was fine by me.
When the installer came out, he did a great job putting it all in and got it working. He gave us a paper to sign. We paid $480 for everything. We thought we owe nothing after we paid, but when we got another $500, I called and told them that’s not right. They tried to explain that I was charged because it’s what the system shows. I insisted that their rep had told me the system was free to upgrade, except for the smoke detectors and the siren. I told them they were paid and I had a piece of paper to show.
The lady said it was declined because it’s the way it is. They also got two pieces of paper with my signature, which I denied since the signature belongs to my wife and that’s the one that says we paid $480. I insisted that the line below it says we owe nothing else and there was a circle through it. So we ended up sending it to the dispute department only to find out it was all messed up because it was not what ADT said. It was not what the signed papers are for, but I asked them if they could work with me on that $500 since it was a screw-up on both sides. I decided to take some responsibility even though the two papers I got don’t say anything else.
In the end, they said that the $530 was something to put the system in and then $480 for the other stuff that I wanted. It wasn't what was told me when the rep said he'd upgrade my system. Now it will raise my monthly payment and I'll wind up having to pay another $530. I’m a little mad right now but I’ll get over that. I told them that they could have worked with me by taking $100 off but they didn't. I hope I don’t have to go through this ever again. I like the service and I still enjoy it. I’m a little aggravated but I’ll live through it. They just didn’t want to work with me at all.

Since then, they've double-checked on us and we've had a little bit of feedback with the control desk as we got to know the system and remembered to use it and turn it on.

He said he didn't even want the CCV # on the back of the card because the card wouldn't be charged until after the installation. So I went ahead and made the appointment.
Five minutes after hanging up, the charge from ADT appears on my credit card! Well, that was it, I was "outta there". Immediately canceled the appointment, and had the supervisor (that's what he said he was) refund the charge back on my card. Wasted about an hour of good Saturday afternoon time. These guys are high pressure, smooth salespeople. Why can't they just make a sale based on a great security system, great service, honest interaction with the customer and real integrity. I guess some companies just don't think that is important anymore. Too bad.

So I called back again Sep 1 i.e today. Now they said they cannot even offer 54.99. My installation is going to $113 (or so) didn't paid that much attention. Also my monthly price is going to be 39.99. By the way it is all recorded in the notes unless ADT (confirmed by agents) deletes it. They will see all the offers in my history.

I am currently in my second contract with ADT. The first contract, product, and service was great. When I moved recently, I signed a new contract with ADT. The representative that helped me advised that the new contract would replace my existing contract, and that I would receive customer loyalty discounts, etc. I was emailed a copy of this in writing. The installation at the new address took many more hours than it should have. The installer left once without advising us that he would be returning. He took a lot of breaks, and was not professional. We did not feel comfortable with him setting up our system. We do not like the new system that was installed. The one we had at our previous address that was installed two years earlier was user friendly, the alarm was louder, and the glass break sensor was not constantly false alarming like the new one does.
About a month ago, I found out that ADT had not disabled monitoring service at our previous address, and they were still billing me for it. I had called customer service on three different occasions prior to this and each time I was insured that the alarm was disabled and that account was no longer active. I spoke with a local rep who advised me that the same thing was happening with a lot of customers, that the files were not being merged when a customer moved and re-signed a contract. He tried to remedy this himself, but was unable, so he advised me on what to do and told me that he would check back in a week to make sure everything was taken care of. I called customer service as he advised and explained what was going on and what I had been instructed to do by the local ADT rep. The agent seemed to understand, but advised me that I never called to have my system disconnected at the old address.
I advised him again that I had confirmed the disconnection three times since. He said that regardless the account was then closed and I only had the account at my new address open. The local rep never called me to check on things. Tonight I checked my online account and my old address is still listed and shows a current monthly balance. Once my contract is over, I will never again do business with ADT.

I have the motion sensor in the middle of the hall and the wireless keychain remote with the little buttons that you push when you're outside. We try to be very careful with not setting the alarm off, but we've done it four times since we've had it. For example, we would forget the garage is locked and unintentionally set the alarm off.
One time, I cleaned the house and took off the fire alarm thing. They responded quickly, asking if the house was on fire, and they told me I couldn't take that thing down. When the alarm goes off, the ADT team is always Johnny-on-the-spot. They would call this house wanting to know if we're okay, if the house is on fire or if we've been broken into. They are also good about testing the system when I want to test it. The only thing I would suggest is for ADT to keep the calls down. Other than that, I'm sticking with the dance with ADT.

We need to run behind ADT corporate to solve problems. ADT are so smart to play with customers - I as a customer cancels ADT alarm monitoring system under 6 month money back guarantee. Then, ADT dealers sent customer name to external collections to collect money as per contract whereas ADT corporate issues money back under money back guarantee. ADT corporate knows these problems and never solve them by understanding customers.
Never trust ADT and never believe their policies and/or fake money back guarantee as it never help customers trust and their alarms always give false alarms. ADT corporate and dealers just mint money by signing false contracts and you will be chased by collections department only. This review is based on my horrible experience chasing with ADT Corporate and ADT dealer (Safe Home Control).

I also have the carbon monoxide, the wireless keychain remote and digital keypad that I use all the time. Every time we have something installed, the same guy comes over and he's been great. He's come out for a couple of repairs and has been absolutely terrific. But when we upgraded the first time, a different guy moved our thing to a more convenient place and he took care of everything.
I've been with them so long and I've been very satisfied with their service. But I have twice received a call in the last two months when I was out of state about our burglar alarm going off. The calls came on my cellphone and I was at an athletic event where I couldn't hear my cellphone. It turned out there was no burglary and nothing was disturbed. The motion detector at the back of our house in a great room somehow went off and I don't know why. The repairman said even a spider crawling across the little light could trip it. It's been changed though and a brand new one has been put in.
But my whole thing about it is that I have added two numbers to call if I can't be reached. One is my best friend's whose just five blocks away and the other is my daughter who was where I was at both times when I was out of state and ADT called me. They never got a call at that time even when ADT couldn't reach me. I thought that happened, they're supposed to leave me a message that they'd turn around and call the next number on the list, but that was not done.

There were two guys who installed and when they came in, one ran upstairs and one downstairs. They explained everything to me and were friendly and they knew what they were doing. They fixed other issues where the testing wasn’t going through. Also, the battery of the box wore down and they didn’t have a replacement. That's how old the box was. The keypad upstairs used to chime a lot at night before going to bed and my husband gets up at 5:00 and when he used to do the alarm, he used to wake me up in the bedroom.

After all this, I decided to cancel my service altogether. Even that was a hassle. They continue to bill me for a system that isn't resolved and I can't find a person that will tell me what I owe to close out my account. I've been told several times, "You may need to call back in a couple days." Why do I need to call back? I'm just trying to close out my account. Very awful experience. I wouldn't recommend ADT to anyone. There are plenty of other security systems that do and work the same way, but with better customer service.

The volume of the siren when we open or close the door is very low. My husband is hard of hearing and we needed a louder system so he can hear it better. It’s so low that I don’t see how it would detour a robber if ever one comes along. When he forgets that he’s gone through a door and then the alarm comes on, he doesn’t even hear it or realize it until he gets a phone call. But we had an excellent service that day we had the system installed. We are set up with a two-year contract and so far, it’s been great.
Hello Maxine- Thank you for reaching out! We are troubled to learn of the trouble you've had with the system volume. Unfortunately, this is not a feature that may be adjusted in most systems. However, ADT does sell external sirens for most systems. For additional details, please call us at 1-888-211-8563. Thank you! ~Tréchell

I was appalled the first time I got woke up at 8am to a call from ADT. After finding out it was for a update... I told them not to call me again before 11am. Now 5 more times I get calls at 8am from ADT... and a 6th today at yep... 8am on a Saturday! Guess who cancelled service today and will warn the world of this ignorant behavior. Not to mention the installer was lazy, plugged this huge plug adapter In at a plug that was at the end of my steps. So everyone hit it or kicked it on accident (3 kids)... not in a good location at all.

ADT was the first co. I contacted to get a quote. After hearing their terms, I told the sales women I was going to shop around. She immediately said her manager could help me with some things that could lower costs. The manager told me I could get what we agreed on for under $30.00... 27.99. I told him I did not have a landline. He asked if I had internet and I explained I had Spectrum. So he led me to believe he could hook up through the internet.
When the Tech arrived, his papers had the cost of the $48.00 original cost I initially turned down. There was no compromise. This tech came from 80 miles away, was able to add some equipment to my house, but no compromise on cost or time commitment. Was this a scam to get into my house or real? I had it installed and cancelling my internet for 6 mo. out of the year to balance costs. Hope the Service is as the tech promised. I will continue with this review in 1 year.

Professional installation. My new roof killed the old system. Love the new system. Subsequently, my bedroom was a target for thief quite soon after and the alarm scared him/her away. Thank you for my safety. The disputed was eloquent and efficient!

I had Brinks originally which merged with ADT, and I just merged right along with them. I have the alarm system with glass breakage and window and door sensors. All has gone well with their staff. Their sales people were very cooperative and informative. I'm very pleased with the customer contact and the services provided.

Weve had ADT for so many years. We got six sensors for windows and doors. However, two cameras were supposed to come free with the package that we bought but we never got those. Everything has been good with the exception of not receiving our cameras. During the installation, one man came and he did a really good job. He knew his job well, went from one point to the other and was in and out in a short period of time. We've only had a couple of alarms go off. Once was because the door jarred loose after we left and the other was when we have a window open in the laundry room and the wind from outside made the sensor go off. We leave our dogs outside and we've never had a problem with that because ADT explained to us at first that we couldn't have bigger animals inside. We've been completely satisfied with ADT and have recommended them to several friends.

I could not be more pleased by the customer service support I received for resetting my alarm code. ADT is absolute perfection in all areas. I would recommend ADT to everyone. Even when I removed the batteries in the smoke detector, I received a call to ensure that everything was alright.

When I purchased my cell phone my home was in a dead zone with ATT - so they provided a micro cell to solve problem. After ADT added a radio receptor I began to receive Messages from ADT that I had a battery problem. After sending out a service rep I was told the current ADT radio could not work with micro cell - had to disconnect - Hence can't use cell phone in house. Looking for a new security service provider.
Hello J.F- We are sorry for the trouble this has caused you! We have located your account and see that the micro cell in your home was interfering with the services you receive from ADT. With the device powered down, your services with ADT were able to be restored.
Since you have indicated that you live in an AT&T dead zone, it may be a better option to obtain a different cellular provider.

I really am glad that I chose ADT for my security. I use it almost every time I leave my home. It is so easy to work and I do feel good about having it. The fellows that installed my security system were very cordial and explained everything to me and my daughter and John did test me to see if I understood everything he explained and that was a good test to do and I passed. Thank you again for doing a great job!!! It makes me feel more secure.

ADT used to be Brinks when they first started two years ago. I have their fire and police features included in my service package with them and I'm pleased with it. They really seem to be on top of things when the alarm goes off, calling and following up. They’ve been consistent and reliable and I've appreciated that. I'd recommend them.

This issue was fairly resolved by the company.
Original Review: Aug. 23, 2017
Beware the 36-month contract. Even if you are required to move, you will be charged 75% of the remaining monthly monitoring fees in your 36-month agreement which it clearly states back on page 4 of their standard agreement. If you try to engage them, you will be met with robotic and dispassionate responses that they have all been well trained to deliver. "You signed a contract" is all you will hear. As a 21 year veteran who was often ordered to move my family after less than 36 months in one location, I can't help but feel their position and robotic uncaring responses is completely unacceptable in a world of many choices in home security. We would not use them again and strongly recommend you do not.
Hello Ralph- Thank you for reaching out! We have located the account for Janet and apologize for any negative experience you both may have had with cancelling the account.
Please be advised that ADT does have a relocation policy in place. This allows the customer to keep their ADT monitoring protection at their new location and terminate service at the previous address without penalty.
