ADT has promised three times beginning last summer to send me at least the two yard signs which they indicate I am due every year. I've been with them since the last millennium (over 20 years) and despite my perfect monthly payment record, they can't seem to honor their commitment to send me replacements for my broken signs. I'm wondering why they refuse to help me clearly draw the "line in the sand" that they solemnly advertise around the home of a thus far loyal customer. Is Brinks reading this? Find the house with the broken ADT signs, look up my phone number, and give me a call. If you call me before ADT gets me the yard signs they owe me, and promised me seven months ago, I'll switch to your company (if you have yard signs).
Hello Dave- We genuinely apologize for this trouble and will ensure that your yard sign request is processed.
We have escalated this to our distributor directly and have requested that they expedite your order to the listed billing address. Please let us know if we may be of additional assistance! ~Trèchell

We have nothing but an excellent review of ADT. We have been highly satisfied with the professional sales, installation and use of ADT equipment. We are senior citizens with one being very technologically challenged. But we have found because of our training with our Installer, the system can be learned even by tech challenged senior citizens. Thanks to ADT, we feel safer since the system has been installed.
Roberta, thank you so much for sharing your story and for the kind words. We could not be happier to hear this! Your safety and peace of mind means the world to us. -Katie

I'm very satisfied with my ADT service so far. My service package includes the camera, a key fob, sensors, motion detector, the keypad, signs and decals. When I first called one of the representatives to get service, he explained some of the items and features they had. He even told me that they deal with the military and have military discounts so he asked me if I was in the military and I told him, "No," but that I worked for the military. He didn’t run my credit and everything went well.
I also had a good interaction with the installer who walked around the apartment and explained what he was gonna do or where he was gonna place the sensors and the motion detectors. He programmed the system and got it going then showed me how to use everything on the panel. He did everything professionally and without any damage. Moreover, the customer service representatives are very nice and answered all my questions. If I have a problem, they send the technician. They always ask me in the end if there is anything else they can do for me and they're very cordial and nice. It's overall a good experience with ADT and still continues to be one.

Last week I received a packet of offers from various companies. Included was one from ADT offering a free security system, plus free wireless remote control, free 15 door/window sensors, and a free Visa gift card valued at $100.00. I have had ADT (Brinks originally) for years, and I have never been offered any incentives such as this ad offered new customers. When I recently added a carbon monoxide detector, I was told my system was outdated and to make it compatible with today's system, I would have to update mine. Needless to say, it was not free. It appears that old customers, and senior citizens at that, are not as important as getting new ones. I am disappointed.

We have been an ADT customer for over 15 years. It has always given us peace of mind when we traveled or if our children were home alone. Since my husband passed away two years ago I value the security ADT provides even more. I like knowing that while I'm out of the house, no one can enter without ADT being made aware. It's also comforting at night when I'm home alone. The added fire alarm is an extra bonus. Anytime I've accidentally set off my alarm, ADT offices call me immediately to verify if I am aware of the alarm. I highly recommend ADT.

We moved into this house about two years ago and we saw ADT was advertised. We also asked around before going with them. When we called, two men came in and told us about the different programs. When we agreed to everything, the rep called up his office to see if there was a man who could come and install it and there was someone who was available that afternoon so he came in that time.
The people who had this house previous to us also had ADT and they had the keypad installed where they wanted it. Now I wanted it by the front door, but the guy said that it's only a 20-second walk to where they had installed it. Well my husband has a problem walking at the time as I did. And he said that we'll be able to get to the pad on time. We can get there on time but my husband can't get in at all in that short amount of time.
So I called ADT and asked someone about moving it because of our handicap as far as not being able to walk quickly enough. She said that they can do it, but it's an extra charge. I said, "Maybe I'll have to go to another company." And she said that my contract is 'till November of this year and it would be a $300 something cancellation fee. I explained to her that even if you clean your feet on the outside then walk in, you don't wanna walk on a clean floor with wet boots to get to the keypad on time. That's why I wanted to have it changed. She said sorry but it's $115 plus overtime if the installer has to be there longer than an hour.
That's ridiculous. So, I'm really stuck between a rock and a hard place. I was gonna ask for a supervisor but I felt that we have the contract 'till November. So, I figured, when it comes to maybe September, I'll call them back again and if they still refuse to do it as a courtesy, then I'll have to change companies. As for the way the system works, that's fine. I put the alarm on every time we go out and we're satisfied with it. I'd recommend them to a friend as long as they make sure that they get the keypad where they want it.

Hello Nancy. I'm sorry for this concern. If you disarm the system within the allotted amount of time, before it has time to send a signal to ADT, then this will cancel it out.

We have had ADT for about 2 years, and have been trying to terminate the contract on account of breach of contract. A 3rd party ADT representative visited the house and offered 'free' installation with a 3 year contract. The 3rd party installed the system that week. During the installation, they rarely returned calls after we had issues with the sound detectors. We had to call ADT corporate to get the 3rd party to respond. The 3rd party also failed to inform us that our 1959 Florida house with roll-out windows, 3 panel sliding glass doors, weren't conducive to the proper window protection ADT is contractually obligated to. In addition to failing sensors, failing sound detector (we have dogs and concrete floors), and overall system that is still 'off' on account of ADT technicians failing to keep their promised times, we have never been delivered the Medical Alert device we were promised via contract.
Several ADT technicians have been to the house, replaced sensors, and have cited internal screens as some of the sensor problems. All referenced that our house shouldn't have had the system installed. All seems like proper grounds to politely remove us from contract, however after dozens of phone calls, and a 3 month hiatus of have to pay the monthly fee, a still disabled system, they still won't delete the contract. So buyer beware for 3rd party installers and beware of ADT stiff arming you for any reason to be end the contract. We currently have opened another BBB case open against them, and we are working on a small class law suite, and trying to invoke the Florida Lemon Law. Attorney advised last ditch is to keep paying and recoup lost monies once contract is done. But before that, we are desperately trying to cancel the contract.

A young lady from ADT came to the door and it sounded like a good deal since I live alone so I've had them ever since. The sales rep was a lovely young woman and a typical door-to-door salesperson. The installation was free, which was a big factor, and I had other friends who had ADT so I figured I'd try it. The system goes to the police and fire departments and I'm 99.9% satisfied with their service. I've been approached by other companies that charge considerably less and I preferred to stay with someone I'm comfortable with.
I've had a couple of times where the alarm has gone off accidentally and they've called me immediately. Then one time, my contractor was looking for a manual and he thought it might be in the house so he came in. The alarm went off, he didn't know the code and sure enough, the police came out and really interrogated him. Also, when my neighbor was gone, their cat was running around a balloon that caught the motion detector and their alarm went off. Since I'm the first one that ADT calls if they can't get a hold of my neighbor, they rousted me up in the middle of the night and I had to go over there to see what it was. But I've been very happy with them.
However, every five or six years, the main battery for the system goes out and it might take four days for them to send somebody out here to replace the battery. But I'm aware of that and despite that, the system will still work. It's just that it will keep beeping to tell me that the battery is low and the two times that that happened, I called the office and they told me how to go in and program the thing to stop doing it. Overall, I've had a great experience with ADT so far and I highly recommend them because they've been really good and the stuff worked. I got my neighbor across the street to get them several years ago and one of my friends in Arcadia who was looking for a service after her house was broken into now uses ADT.

I moved into my newly built home, in 2015. I had a ADT Security Specialist show up at my new home, to sale me Home security system and services. I was told by the ADT Security Home specialist, that the contract was for 1 year at a time, and it would cost about $54.00 monthly to service my home for security services. Well be very careful of ADT Security representatives selling you ADT series. They will falsely lie to you to buy their services, and once they have you sign the contract, it is. It what was initially told by the representatives selling you the services.
The corporate headquarters knows this is going on, and has no desire to control it or remedy the situation. So my advice to you, is not use a security company that will use false advertisement just to get customers locked in. I later tried to discontinue my service with ADT after the initial year was up, and they told me I could not, because I was in a 3 year contract. So initially I was lied to by the sales representative, and the company knows this is going on.

I am a long term customer of ADT. My home was broken into, while the alarm was activated. ADT called when the alarm went off and I told them call the police. The police came and the butler answered the door. The police never questioned the butler because he said the alarm wasn't going off. Nevertheless, I came home 7 hours later to find my door unlocked and my alarm still activated. Somehow ADT blame me for incorrectly arming my system. At this point I had the system for 10 years. They fought tooth and nail trying to blame for the break even though I disarmed the system in front of the police now 9 hours later. They refuse to pay the $500.
I wrote to say, I'm moving into a new home and I'm researching all security companies. ADT sales guy swore me up and down that someone would reimbursement in case of a actual break in and the alarm failed. I'm living proof that I did and they didn't pay anything. That didn't stop the sales guy from the standard sale pitch. Thanks for nothing ADT!

My neighbor across the street was selling ADT so we knew about ADT. I called in for questions about the system and the reps were real informative and gave me answers I needed to know, but it was my wife who managed the purchase herself over the phone. We had full description including the advantages of the system upon signing up and it helped that we had somebody we know telling us about the system. So, we got a good basic package that we're satisfied with.
When the installation team came in, I had to leave then come back but the only problem I had was the little wiring in the attic that they laid out a little litter and cleaner. So when they came back for some little service item, I mentioned it to the tech and they took care of it right there that day. It was very much courtesy so I appreciated that. Generally, it was good installation and I didn't notice that stuff until I went up in the attic and saw it. Most folks probably didn't care about it but it's something I looked at because I didn't wanna snag a wire and not know it.

We have had ADT for 27 years. I received a keypad in February 2016. The #1 button on the keypad is not working properly and I called to schedule someone to come check it. I was told that they wanted to charge me $90.00 because I do not have a "maintenance agreement." First of all - I was NEVER offered a maintenance agreement EVER from ADT. Second of all - I have been with ADT for 27 years (my first system installed in 1990). Third of all - now your supervisor representative tells me that my keypad is only covered for 90 days?! Your supervisor representative did waive the $90.00 fee (for someone to come to my house), but in her quest to do this she portrayed herself over the phone to be a hero.
I have a problem with someone treating me like they are doing me a huge favor when I have been with ADT and paying ADT for 27 years. I am very tired and upset every single time I call ADT that I am always nickeled and dimed to death for charge for this and a charge for that. What about a loyalty towards me for being so loyal to ADT? I did accept the maintenance agreement which I am now having to pay $7.00/month for - but I most certainly will be looking towards leaving ADT after 27 years and finding a security company that will appreciate my loyalty.

We just bought our first house. It should have been a very positive experience but because of ADT, this is becoming a nightmare. My biggest mistake was to google ADT number online. I ended up with a third party provider, Defender Security (without knowing). I got an initial quote for monthly service without a landline. I decided it was too much and said no thanks. Then, they transferred me to the sale department. I mentioned we were customer of USAA and I heard about a discount. So they gave me the "USAA" discount, which now, I know, they can't give because they are not ADT. SO I was told a certain price, which was reasonable for us, so we went ahead with it.
It was discussed this was for a 3 years contract. BUT, it was never mentioned that: - The price given was only for 12 months, then would go back to $9 more per month for year 2 and 3 (LIE #1). - The difference of $9 would be sent to me upfront, as a check (?!? - Isn't it weird?) (OMISSION #1). They said I would get all this info by email (LIE #2, never received any email!). Then, when transfer back to the initial agent, I asked about Pulse and he said, "Yes, possible, only $4 more a month, talk to the installer (LIE #3 - see below)."
The installer came, spent 5 hours in my house installing everything and hand me a contract showing a monthly price $13 more than we initially agreed. I refused to sign, she then said she would have to remove everything she just installed in the last 5 hours. I suggest we call ADT (still not knowing I am not dealing with ADT), and she suggests we call her supervisor. The supervisor initially tells me that there is no such thing as the amount I was initially told, he never saw that, etc. Then, after 5 minutes of research, comes back to me and said: "Oh I see it now, we will send you a check for the different between the promised amount and the current amount on the contract."
Then I ask, "Ok please confirm the reimbursement will cover 3 years and not just 1 year." He said yes (LIE #4 - See below, everyone is telling me now that this was only for 1 year). Then, hanging up, the installer said that anyways, I would have couple weeks of trying the system and decide if I wanted to keep it so that would let me some time to figure out the billing (LIE #5 - it's only 3 days!). I signed the contract - biggest mistake in this whole story, I should have told her to go back with all her stuff and called it a day with ADT!
Now, I contacted 4 people at Defender. One hang up on me when I told her I wanted to wait to speak with a manager. She told me she couldn't have me waiting, she had to take other calls - This never ever happened to me in my whole life of dealing with customer service. Then, I called back and spoke to a much nicer person who told me that a manager was reviewing my file, would listen to the initial sale call to see what was said, and get back to me in 2-3 business days (LIE #6). 11 business days later, still no answer. I called again and was told that they should have never told me that, they should have transferred me to the Account Services. Then, waited, spoke to Account Services, who said they would review the call and complaint within 2-3 business days.
HOWEVER she already said that IF the sales person never mentioned 3 years promotion during the call, I would NOT get the price over 3 years. That means If the original sales lady said: this promotion is only for one year, then you will get to the original price after = I don't get a check for more than one year. I am fine with that, but they never said that. If the original sales lady said: I have this great price for you, $**. With a 3 years contract = I don't get a check for more than one year - THIS IS WHAT IS COMPLETELY CRAZY TO ME!!! How am I suppose to know that what she is telling me only applies to one year out of 3?
I already contacted ADT (the real company this time) to make a complaint. A very nice agent, Edward, took notes on my situation and submitted it to Corporate ADT. They are supposed to contact Defender and Defender will have to get back to me within couple days. But regardless of all this, how many times a company can LIE to get your business??
Now, I just wish I could get out of this and go directly with ADT. However, to do so, I have to pay the full price for 3 years to get out of the contract. Not happening. Other than that, actual protection service (provided by ADT) is great. Everyone I spoke to at ADT were extremely nice, making it almost worst to realize I haven't got the right number to begin with. :(

You have given me my life back!!! I am a senior citizen with a beautiful home in a once wonderful neighborhood. With the passing of older persons: my family as well, these once well-kept homes became rentals and with that came the lack of interest in maintaining a property, and a lack of respect and behavior regarding those that dwell in a living environment. My situation was not unique. Drugs were just about everywhere. The children of one of the landlords was involved in buying and selling. The people that came to the property were loud, and their language disgusting. Their treatment to me and my property were the trappings of a sick and drug-affected mind. Even to the point of telling an unrelated party that they would poison my dog.
With ADT: the cameras and system, I am free to work in my yard without fear. My dog is safe. My garden unpolluted with trash. The selling of drugs in the driveway stopped. In fact they moved their family to another location because the father felt spied upon. He did that with a threat to make war on me: if I did not remove the cameras!!!

You should implement a system where you should forward calls to the fire dept. due to a smoke alarm only if the customer warrants it. Three times so far the fire engines have come to my house due to the smoke alarm going off due to some burning toast or something minor like that. Or at least, you should have the ability to cancel fire dept service upon verifying from the affected customer that there is no need.
Hello Jimmy- Unfortunately the state of New York has laws and regulations that require ADT to notify them first on any and all received fire alarms. While we may always update them after, it is their discretion whether or not they will cancel the alarm. As a countermeasure, whenever you intend to cook or fear setting off the smoke detectors, you may call us or login to your MyADT.com account to place the system in a state of "test" or disregard. This is a temporary state that allows ADT to completely disregard any received signals for a span of time. We apologize for this trouble! ~Trèchell

We were in Albuquerque and we had a special agent gone bad who said he was going to kill me. ADT was set up by the government to protect me from this guy. He only got 10 years. So then I decided to keep it when I moved. At some point, we were also traveling a lot but we don’t travel that much these days, but when we do, we use ADT. The only problem we had was we have an architect house and we’re sitting on a lot of clay and the moisture changes. The house tilts a little bit this side or the other way, so we had to disable the front door alarm because of the shifting. However, because the motion detector covers that area, we don’t really need that front door alarm, so we’re good. But, at one point the camera was on but we could not get in to check online.
