    Made numerous attempts to cancel fraudulent contract. Company provided non-working fax number or fax number that played Island Music and then disconnected with no fax tone generated. Installer generated electronic signatures on the contract of an incapacitated individual who was not present during the installation. Manager Michael ** failed to call back. Other phone operator refused to connect me with a manager.

    I got the ADT package which includes television, alarms, and thermostat which we would be able to control. The installation crew put them up for us. However, I can't see the camera feed on my cellphone more often than it should. It is inconsistency and is a pain in the neck. I've had people coming out, saying they've fixed it and even replaced one of the pieces of equipment, but the problem continues. It's just not worth the hassle.

    I've been using ADT for about five years and I've never had any problem. I called them to ask if they could send someone out and put a whole new system in. The guy who came was very knowledgeable of what he was doing and he had suggestions that made sense. He went about his work very carefully, cleanly, and was through in two hours. I've got not only the security alarms but also a camera in my living room. I've also got something that's sitting on my desk that's got information on the inside with ADT and then another one on my counter in my kitchen. I'm very pleased and satisfied with it that I wouldn't change it at all.

    I had talked to customer Loyalty to try to get comparable pricing and equipment after being with ADT for about 15 years with current home and another 5 with the house before. The Customer Loyalty department treated me well and set up a service call saying that they would add a motion sensor to my system along with the ability to control my alarm through my phone. Pretty simple request and very much in line with other companies offerings. I'm not trying to get extra stuff or special treatment. Just trying to stay with a company.

    The installer came out to install the products however when the wife was going to show him the control area he broke out his computer and calculator then said that we weren't paying the proper monthly amount for the system and we also had to pay for additional equipment plus sign a two year contract. The current deal didn't make sense to him. She said that was not disclosed to her. The installer went out and called his manager. He came back in saying the same thing and arguing with the wife. He got on the phone with me and I made him leave. This is not the way that you would expect to be treated as someone that was being updated to KEEP business at ADT. I called customer loyalty back and they said that should not have happened. They sent a message to a supervisor or something for my area.

    Got a message from them to return a call which turned out to be the installers supervisor that was telling me the same thing the installer said and argued with me about it. What is the point of setting up a compromise with the loyalty department if the local installers don't like the deal they just change it. From my point of view it looks like the company doesn't care about a long time customer. They want new contracts and $$$.

    Called loyalty back and because after 5 hours I still hadn't heard from supervisor and they are now telling me that I shouldn't expect a quick response because they get a lot of email... 24 to 48 hours. That topped off a bad day. I don't know if this will help anyone researching different companies to make their purchase decision, however this is how I was treated after being a paying customer for almost 20 years. I will see what they come up with and update you. Right now I am not happy and the 1 person against change (my wife) just had the worst experience ever. So we might be changing if the experience/service continues to go the way it is going this week.

    Have had the same issue multiple times over the past 3 years with my alarm system. ADT has been to my home 4 times in the past year to try and resolve the malfunction without success. The last visit occurred on 12/09/2016 - ADT sent their "top guy" and "if he can't fix it, no one can." He went through the entire system and said all was working fine but he would replace the patio door sensor again (4th time) "just in case." Alarm continues to malfunction and I have to bypass two areas to be able to set the rest of the system.

    I scheduled yet another appointment for today at 5PM and no one showed up. When I called to inquire I was told they called me at 8:22AM to tell me they were on their way. I had no missed calls and no voicemail. When I asked why they would be coming in the morning when our appointment was set for 5PM the agent replied, "Appointments are set between 8-12 and 1-5." The agent informed me that I needed to contact my dealer if I am continuing to have problems. I will be canceling services with ADT.

    I have a vacation home out of state and chose ADT for monitoring. I purchased their Pulse system with exterior cameras and the ability to open and close my garage doors. Worst system you could buy for a vacation home. If you lose electricity for any amount of time you have to reboot the ADT system. That is not possible on a vacation home and there is always some sort of electrical interruption every month or so in the mountains in Colorado. I found out that electrical is not the only thing that requires a reboot. When they update their system which they have done a couple of time recently the system also goes offline. The last time the ADT thermostat was in heating mode and lost internet connectivity, and the house was 98 degrees when it was 10 degrees outside.

    When the system was first installed the cellular connection was nonexistent which I told the salesperson and installer several times. They came out to the house 7 times to try to fix the system. Then when I got cellular to the house the system still goes completely offline so I cannot view the cameras or the thermostat when the internet is interrupted. The internet comes right back on a few seconds later, but you have to be at the house to reboot the ADT system to be able to view the cameras and thermostat. When you only get up there every couple of months that doesn't work. I am tearing the system out this week and going to a Nest system. I spent over $2000 two years ago. What a waste!!!

    ADT works great for me. I've had them for 20 some years and I have switched to the wireless about a year ago so I can do from my phone. I love my new wireless system and that's the bananas because I can arm it and disarm it at any place. I used to have a keypad but not anymore and I do have window and door connectors and three motion sensors. I've called up ADT with questions on how to change something and they've been very helpful. I haven't had a serviceman any more than about three times in 20 years, but whenever they'd come, they've always fixed my problem or question. I had a battery out on my panel once that's in the front closet and then one time they came to install the wireless, remote system. They're always good, competent workers. I have no criticism at all, no negative things to say, and so I'm very satisfied.

    We bought a house that had an ADT system in it and we continued the system. We've had several alarms and the staff was very helpful and patient with us. Sometimes, we’ll forget to take the little remote with us. We have to rush in quick after we open the door and set off the alarm and put in our code. I appreciate that they have a telephone call instead of a voice call that says that our alarm went off. So, it’s been very workable. When we called ADT with questions for clarification and training us, everyone’s always been very helpful. All in all, our experience with them has been good.

    Our ADT system works and I'm happy with it. In about 10 years’ worth of time, we haven’t had any trouble. When I accidentally hit the panic button on the keychain, it became a good test because the police came before I could get back to the house and shut the alarm off. So, they move quickly when they see that happen. Also, we've had a break-in and when whoever broke into the house heard the alarm screaming, he hightailed back out of the house. We had one unit go bad but ADT came and fixed it. Everything was done quickly and coolly.

Our service package has the regular security features which include the fire emergency and the police. We also have the window breakage but not the motion detection. We had some issues with the house when one of the sensors had gotten jarred to where it wasn't reading the door. But they sent a person out and fixed it in about 30 seconds.

    Had a great experience with the installation team on 11/29. They were thorough and explained the system to my husband and I. I didn't realize what the additional costs were going to be, so I was a little taken aback. They did ask for my approval before any work was done, it was that some of the additional costs were not mentioned to me when I made the first initial call for installation.

    I am about to send in my $100 Visa Card reimbursement and did not find the $4.95 S&H charge necessary. They are also asking that it be either a cashier's check or money order which means it will cost additional $$ and I need to visit the post office in order to send this in.

    I am moving and needed to get another security system. I TRIED to cancel my ADT several times with no avail. They are worse than Comcast in the cancellation phase. It took almost 45 minutes, from a very bad ADT customer service man, to hopefully cancel the service. They have a 30 day cancellation time frame which in itself is a total rip off. Add to that the almost impossibility to cancel the service... took me 4 tries and over a week to hopefully get the cancellation through. There has to be better services than ADT!!! Almost anything would be better than ADT. I say... BEWARE!!! You will not be happy with high monthly costs and terrible service. I will be complaining to the Illinois Attorney General and Better Business.

    A couple of times, we couldn't figure out how to re-arm the system. It said "no ready" and showed there is trouble from or the other places and we couldn't figure out how to get that off. Also, there is a code to use where I could go into the basement and we can still be in "stay" and not have the alarm go off. A lot of times it's good to arm it when we're home but sometimes when I go to the basement, I make the alarm go off. We forgot the code that the rep gave us for the door in the basement, and they told us about that and it works fine again. They're always eager to help. Overall I know I can depend on them.

    Do not sign a contract with this company. They lock you into a 3 year contract, and if you try to move, you have two choices. You can either pay to "buy out" the rest of your contract which is all of your remaining months bundled into one large payment (mine would've been $900) OR you can bring your contract with you. Now, isn't that so, when you bring your contract with you to your new home, you have to start the 3 years over again! This is a COMPLETE damned if you do damned if you don't. I spoke with them on the phone 3 separate times, and each person told me something different. First I was told that the remaining months would carry over to my new house, but after my 3rd phone call they told me it would have to start again.

    I spoke with Valerie from ADT about lowering my rate since I am paying TWICE what other companies are charging. She transferred me to Denise in their customer loyalty division. I was quickly instructed that as a "loyal customer" there was nothing that could be done to lower my rate back to where it was earlier this year. I know for a fact that this is not true. If ADT wishes to create customer loyalty, and since I was paying the lower rate for 6 months already this year, they could have certainly lowered it back to remain competitive in the world of home security. I will be leaving ADT and closing the bank account that is connected to this system. I am truly disappointed in ADT.

    I met with Brandon at the house Sat Nov 26th. When I asked about the "package" for the areas I discussed on phone with sales rep I was told he has the info and will discuss after he installs the panel. When I brought it up again I again was brushed off of the subject. I later realized that was the sales gimmick to mark the job in a obligatory way. Once started harder for customer to say no to additional equipment. I felt very sales pitched dealing with ADT and would not recommend them with out a lot of caution.

    I also felt mislead that there was actually a lesser monthly payment for the first year and then to find out it's a gift card is just outright lying. Let alone the hoops to jump through for the VISA refund is just silly. $4.95 money order OR cashier's check. Really? Then to top it all off I received a statement for a electronic withdraw I never authorized after I had a conversation with him about the bill being sent on a monthly invoice to the house address is just wrong to seek that in. When making the call to correct this I find out that the tenant's info was never entered as he acted like he was doing I guess. What was to happen? I would get a call for a alarm when I'm a 100 miles away and I don't live there?

    And speaking of the monthly bill I was told that I had to wait a week before the system would actually start being monitored. When I asked why he said because people make mistakes and set off by mistake but billing will start when system goes live. That turned out to be another mistruth since I was billed for a first week that the mongering wasn't in place and when speaking to customer service over billing issue they were unable to tell me when it would go live a week later. To summarize, you got me for you 3 year deal good for you.

    Wanted to protect our home, decided ADT was the right choice. ADT agent went to the house, looked through entire house to see where issues were at. Husband purchased $1,866.66 worth of hardware to protect our little house. Since my husband was getting ready to retire we bought the house and put the alarm system with the understanding we were moving to that house. Because of an injury my husband sustained while at work, we have to stay in NY so we had to put our little house for rent. I called ADT and asked to have the monthly service cancelled because the renters did not want to pay for an alarm service. I was informed I had to pay over $1,000 to get out of the contract. If the hardware was given for free I could understand ADT wanting to get some money for their work but we paid for the hardware and now cannot live in the house indefinitely.

    I cannot believe that we have to pay a penalty for getting out of a 3 year mandatory contract, which was not verbally expressed to us by the agent. If we stayed in the house I would have gladly continued to pay for the service but we lost money in hardware we cannot use. So can ADT help us? I know from speaking to the agent over the phone we had to pay over $1,000 to get out of the contract and in this economy where many are still living paycheck to paycheck, that penalty is grossly expensive. So ADT, can you help or not. Depending on your response will depend if I will EVER use ADT again in the future. ADT has to be understanding to clients that need to get out of their contracts because of specific reasons.

    When we signed up on a deal, it was subcontracted through someone else even though we were being billed by ADT. We weren't having very good luck with the product that we got so I contacted ADT and they came out, upgraded for me, replaced it. It was the actual ADT representatives at that point so I was very happy with the upgrade and the change through ADT themselves.

    I contacted ADT when the product was not setting and we were having some problems with it. They came out and took care of it right away. Then, I had a minor issue with the payment. Apparently, they were unable to get a payment but they were very good about that. They contacted me and I've had no problem whatsoever.

    The only complaint I have is that when they came out to repair, they said that they don't stock the product because it's really not theirs which was a little disconcerting. I bought a little bit to have it replaced by an actual ADT product and they charged me a minimal amount and I was willing to do that to upgrade and be direct with ADT, instead of a subcontractor. But I had to wait 10 to 12 days for them to come back and install the product. I'm used to alarming my home every day so it made me a little nervous that I couldn't alarm the home at night. I was here by myself and my husband was out of town, so it was more distressful.

    Other than that, they're a great company. I have been approached by others but I'm not interested in making a change. I'm very happy with them and the service. There are lots of deals out there that they offer to new customers for a year to two and I don't think they offer many deals for their loyal and long-time ones.

    Beware of ADT installers in South Louisiana who work with Defenders Security/Protect Your Home out of Indianapolis. They are dishonest and not trustworthy. Breon ** was the one who came for the first visit. She came to see if my current wiring (which worked fine) would work on their system. I told her that if she couldn't make it work I wanted her to plug the system back in the way it was. I was assured she would. Instead of taking a picture before unplugging my wires, she tried to make their system work. When it didn't work, she sent someone else to try. He couldn't get it to work. When I ask him to plug it back in, he couldn't because the prior tech (Breon ** ADT representative out of New Orleans) didn't take notes or pictures. They now have taken their equipment and now my system that was working before doesn't even have power going to my control panels.

    When I put the power on it isn't working because the second tech attempted to figure it out and apparently wasn't able to accomplish what Breon should have recorded in the first place. Once they figure they can't make any money off of you they don't care if they fix what they have taken apart "they aren't trained to install other systems"... Really, well maybe they should train the Installers to take a snapshot before they unplug a working system... A quick photo snap would have saved me and the second tech a lot of headache. All they had to do is plug the wires into the board just as they were before. Breon ** is someone who will tell you what you want to hear even if it isn't the truth. I learned that the hard way. I had to pay out of pocket to get someone to reconnect my wires in my security control panel.

    Our experience with ADT has been good. We've been using our ADT security system for 10 years now. A couple of years ago, we switched over to the Wi-Fi. It works fine, and I like it. We don’t have the wires all over the place now. I go in and reset it, but our old plan used to call me right away. At present, I don’t know if there’s a delay.

    Also, I really wish that they would add the going away function online. Brink used to allow me to do that. I could log in online and say I’m going to be away for two weeks, so if the alarm goes off that means I’m not home. Now, if we went away and we’re out of the country, it doesn’t allow us to do that. If they saw me go in and out that day I can understand that, but if we were gone for a period of time, they could see that a person is at home. No one should have been going in. The only thing we can do is to rearrange our contact situation, which is one of the system's neat features since we can set it up ourselves and we don’t have to freak out the person that we put first as the main contact.

    The day my home was broken into, with the police still there, my friend who came to my house to help me called ADT for me. I NEVER SPOKE TO THEM. As a single woman living in my home alone, I was a complete wreck. Two days later a rep came to my home and tried to sell me $800 worth of security as I was a blubbering mess still trying to deal with what happened. I agreed to $400 worth of security because I still needed to pay for the repairs to my home from the break-in, broken windows, etc. I told him that I was selling and moving ASAP, and he said, "No problem. Just give us a call and we can move everything to your new house." So I signed, not reading the contract and never once being told it was for 3 years and would start over every time you transfer to a new address. Oh and the equipment I purchased did not move with me, I had to buy all new!!!

    I have since lost my job, moved out of state, moved 4 additional times, and all the while still paying $44 a month for a service that I have not used in over a year, and only used for 3 months. The rep that came to my home completely took advantage of me. All he saw was a sale. I was in shock still from the break-in and should not have signed anything in the state of mind I was in. I have called ADT so many times to see if they can lower my monthly because I DO NOT USE IT, and even though I knew nothing of a 3 year contract, I will pay but I just don't understand why they will not work with me in lowering the price!

    I was eager to sign up for ADT, until the installer got to my house and explained ADT uses local sub companies. He installed the equipment before explaining all of the charges, including the 3-year contract. I immediately cancelled (within the 3 day cancellation window, which is another story), and was redirected through the phone tree no fewer than 8 times, was told to print out a cancellation form and fax it in within 48 hours, because everyone's just got a fax machine laying around, and then hope and trust that they'd actually cancel it. Then I was not issued a refund in a timely manner. The installer took an entire 21 days to come and remove the equipment, so there was nowhere to put my new equipment from a competitor.

    Finally they issued a refund and then they charged my credit card the monthly monitoring fee. When I called to inquire about the fraudulent charge, they put me through the phone tree again, shuffling me between sub companies and departments for a half an hour on hold. To top it off, the customer service rep talked over me, raised her voice, and was dismissive of my concerns at being charged $52 fraudulently. She would not transfer me to her supervisor nor would she help me. I have to dispute the charge through my credit card company because ADT obfuscates their billing department and denies wrongdoing.

    I called ADT after the initial false alarm at my house on Nov 9, 2016 after my alarm system went off after NOT being set. I received a frantic call from my daughter who was home sick saying the alarm was going off. They stated they would send out a request for a technician, but that in our area the technician makes his own appointments, fair enough. The following week the same thing. I called ADT and they said they would get a technician out and put a stat order on it.

    This week today Wednesday Nov 30 the same thing happened and I called again. They laughed and said there was nothing they could do and because the technician made his own appoint I cancelled with ADT. Of course there is a longer version to this nightmare but end result ADT did not care. They also did not seem to care when I cancelled and when I asked to speak with supervisor I was put through to vm which is really not great customer care.

    ADT was installed 12/2010. Learned recently, 11/2016, that the wiring was not connected. Alarms never alerted their call center nor the local sheriff's office alarm center. Thought that was strange but assumed they changed the sensitivity of their alarm system because it used to generate calls at other home installations I had over the years. And now it did not.

    When the motion detector alarm sounded recently and ran through its programmed period of sounding the alarm and ADT and the Sheriff's office alarm centers did not contact the house by telephone or arrive, I knew something wasn't right. Called ADT to check the second in line phone number I gave them.

    Turned out they'd not had any alarms signaled on my account the entire 6 years.

    ADT says in May 2016 a technician tested the system from my home and it worked. He'd re-secured the sensors on windows and doors that were coming loose or falling off. And he checked the system. I don't know how it worked then but not now? Nobody has touched this system except to set and turn it off as needed. I told them to stop my monthly payment and cancel my account. They told me I had a 30-day notice required. They told me all the services I would no longer have if I cancelled the account. I told her those were the services I didn't have while paying them about $35 monthly for the past several years, so I thought I'd be okay.

    Called and even wrote to CEOs, who are all new as of May 2016 for some reason. You never reach CEOs. Only techs who take the heat and push you off.

    I guess I'm going to lose this battle. They offered to give me a one month payment back, $33.99, for my troubles. I don't know if I can take that. Golly gee. What a wonderful way to thank an old disabled woman for her monthly contributions to their empire the past 6 years and for my continuing business with them since about 2000. Anya sternly told me they certainly were not going to refund 6 years of payments. They claim to be the top alarm system in the USA. I have to wonder how many other people have had systems that didn't do anything but provide a false sense of security.

When I signed up installer told me my monthly bill would be less than $50.00 dollars a month.

    Have called installer twice due to outside alarm not being very loud and under house motion sensors no longer blink as they did when first installed. I also asked about price of an additional door sensor being installed. He set a date, never showed, and I called back and he apologized and said he forgot. He called again and said he was on a job that he would not be finished until late that evening. I told him I understood. No problem. I have not heard from him since.

    So far not the best customer experience! At this point I do not have a warm fuzzy feeling about ADT. ADT may be too big at this point to meet customer needs.

The only reason I went on with this was because the nice guy that did the install had come from Phoenix City and had already installed the system and was about to do the sensors and he started asking me where I wanted them and I was still under the impression I was getting 15 so I proceed to tell him and he was like "Nooo. You're only getting 7." I let him go ahead and I wasn't arguing because this was not his fault. Had I known it was only 7 I would not have went along with this deal.

    I've been using ADT's home security service for two months already. Their sales rep was knowledgeable, and the installers were good. Though I would have liked to have a little cheat sheet on the various names that they put in, for instance the pads.

I was not even installed and billed upfront for fees and my account which I set up on Autopay was billed immediately for services. I was not happy with the customer service representatives either and was shocked to learn that the ADT Service was a Authorized Dealer and not ADT itself.

I contacted ADT and the gentleman that sold us the system explained it, went through the cost and the different options available. We made choices from that and we've been pleased with it so far. I've called customer service a couple of times to get my iPhone set up and all the passwords erased.

    Installer was polite and thorough, but the process took over 4 hours to 7:00PM. Installer was understandably tired and did not take enough time to fully explain how to understand and operate the system. Two door sensors have been going off even though the doors have not been opened. We have been waiting for 2 days for tech support to call us to set up an appointment as promised by the ADT agent. Strangely, the installer came within four hours on the same day I requested an estimate, but tech support has still not called after more than 48 hours. That is not good customer service!

    The installation process and the equipment are fine. What I did not like was the discrepancy between what the salesperson whom I talked with described as the equipment and charges versus what was presented by the installer. It remind me of a bait and switch tactic. Don't tell people you get 15 wireless units for $99.00 when that is not the case! I wanted a security system and I did get yours because I was vulnerable and grieving at the time but I do not have a good feeling about your company and would tell anyone who ask me to be wary of your sales pitch.

    I got the service package that included the alarm and the ADT internal computer thing that I can see who's walking through the house. The installation team installed those cameras and I've had good interaction with them except with one guy. I called his boss and he came out and took care of it. The guy wasn't trained enough to understand how I can walk out from my bedroom to the front door and the camera didn't pick me up until when I walk in back, so it was a timing thing and lack of training coupled with his attitude. But then the service has been great so far. I feel very secure with the treatment, the instruments, and the system we got. I've been with them about 20 years and if I have any problems, they solve it. They’re a pretty good company.

    I've had ADT hooked up for 20 years now and it's been very good. When the power went off a couple of nights ago, they called me about the medical alarm I wear around my neck 40 minutes after the power went off since it shows that I've had a power loss. I didn’t know that they could tell that but I was glad to hear that they could. Then the last time I accidentally tripped the alarm system, they called within a couple of minutes to check to see what the problem was and I said there was none. I gave them the code and they said that it was fine and they appreciate the business and that was it. The only other thing I wanted is for them to get the alarm system itself billed to the same credit card where they bill my medical alarm. I asked them about it before and I was wondering why for some reason they haven’t been able to shift it over. Other than that, I've been very happy with them.
