    After my son recommended ADT to me, I did research on several companies, before I went wth ADT. It started bad with the sales representative, however, it ended up fine and it was not all his fault. It was a very bad time then for me. My husband had just passed away and I got this salesman who is very nice, but he was a little bit high-pressured and pushy, and I had a son here who was also high-pressured and pushy. I finally had to blow it on both of them and said, "Back off and listen to me on what I want." Then, it went fine. The installer came out to our home and he was excellent, just outstanding. So far, I've had no problems. Everything has worked fine. The ADT system does add to my sense of security and I appreciate that.

    We have had ADT for many years (from back when it was Brinks) and really like the peace of mind it gives us, when we are away from home, and during the night. We have always had good service, prompt answers to phone questions/problems, and someone coming right out the few times this has been necessary. It would be great, however, if there were some way to prevent so-called "reps" who come to our home, saying they represent ADT, that their company has taken over ADT, that our service will be discontinued if we don't sign with them, etc. etc. We have learned to disregard these people, but it continues to be very annoying and upsetting.

    I first registered with ADT in October of 2015. Myself and my girlfriend were satisfied with the service and decided we wanted to continue with the service when we moved in June of 2016. My girlfriend called ADT to notify them that we were moving and inquire about moving services. Apparently, ADT does not "move" a service, the existing service has to be cancelled and a new contract must be started up. We thought this was a bizarre system, however decided that we enjoyed the service and decided to go with it. My girlfriend set up a date with ADT to install the new service to our new place and was reassured that there would be no extra charges and that the billing would be the same as our previous (where our monthly bill would be taken directly from my credit card).

    Our ADT system was installed and everything seemed to be great, until we received a letter in the mail a few months later stating that we owed ADT a total of $278.00!!! My girlfriend called in and they said that we were still getting charged to my credit card for our previous alarm system and that our new systems bills were in fact not being taken from my credit card. We immediately paid the current balance and ADT customer service apologized for their mess-up and said to my girlfriend that the old service was now cancelled and to have myself (the account holder) to call the financial department to receive my refund for the old system we were still getting charged monthly for.

    Although very inconvenient, I called customer service to receive my refund, only to have a very rude agent named Julie tell me that the old account was still not cancelled and that they would not refund me for it because our new service is under my girlfriend's name and not mine like the previous one was. I asked to speak to her supervisor and while I was put on hold the line was disconnected! I then got a call back saying that the account was canceled but that I still wouldn't be issued a refund. I then asked ONCE AGAIN to speak to the supervisor and they put me on hold only to a dead end mailbox asking for the mailbox number that he never gave me!!!

    ADT doesn't to a good job at protecting your property as they're the ones robbing you!!! The second this "new" contract is up we will be cancelling our services with this terrible company. OH, side note, the cancellation fee is $1200!!! I will never recommend this company to my friends or family, BEWARE of ADT.

    We've been ADT customers for about a million years. Their customer service reps have done a fine job and that's good. Most recently we had a big outage in our whole neighborhood and a technician had to come on the fifth day of the outage. The poor man was here from 10:30 in the morning till 20 minutes to 5:00 in the afternoon. He could have given up, but he was persistent and determined, and he did not only solve the problem, but he improved matters for us too. So, we were very pleased with that. He did a fine job. We've had other people come and they have done what's needed to be done, and everything was just fine. But this fellow struck us as particularly good.

    I love ADT. I'm 100% satisfied with the service. If the power goes down, somebody cuts the wire of the power and nothing works, it has a battery backup to put the alarm on. The installers that came out were knowledgeable and they never give up until they've solved the problem. They talk to you straight. You ask them a question on it and they tell you the truth about the product. They're always there to check my system for me because I don't know how to do it. They go to the whole thing and everything is working right. The only thing is I got confused a little in my head with the price. They said it was free to install and it wasn’t. And ADT should keep the price at a low level because there's a lot of old people that use it. The other companies that fight with ADT has a low price, so keep the prices at a level that they could afford it.

    Not only is ADT on everybody’s lawn in my neighborhood, but it's on TV. It's over 100 years old and it's not far from my visual sight. I was more concerned that it was a company that was around for a long time and that it would be around for a long time and that it had national coverage. One of my friends' husband owns an alarm system, but it's just him and I wasn’t comfortable with that. When I first called because I was robbed that day, it was horrible. Then it happened again. The thief walked in because I'd just gone out to the store for 10 minutes literally a block from my house and he was watching my house.

    I called the three different companies in the area and they gave me their quotes of hundreds and hundreds of dollars upfront to just put the stuff in. ADT seemed to take that $99 installation and give me a $100 gift card and everything was there. It's just a couple of dollars more a month. I'm also a senior, so I talked to a supervisor who gave me the fire package. I had to ask for it since I'm not getting more unless I ask. Setting up the device isn't rocket science anymore. It's just drilling in holes and all that wire that has to be put in, then they told me the best place to put them and it was good for my needs.

    I called ADT when I was going away to let them know that I was going to be gone and my son had the code to get in the house, so if anything happens my children would notify me. They were very responsive to that. I also had another attempted break in so I made sure that they knew about that. I've told every one of my friends who don’t have it or don’t use it that they're out of their mind if they don’t have that. I was very happy with the price and the fact that it comes right out of my checking account every month so I don’t have to even think about it.

    We recently had the Pulse system installed in our home. The original installer did not test our internet connection prior to installation. When he finally did we found out that our internet was subpar for the Pulse system, therefore it does not work to its fullest potential. The original installer came alone and tried to do a two man's job in one day, by the end of the evening he was flying thru the house installing all the window sensors and window break sensors haphazardly throughout the house missing one room and installing the sensor unsystematically or uniformly in each window. For aesthetic purposes it looks horrible. Of course by 9 pm we were ready to get him out of the house, felt bad that he had to drive back to Phx from FLG and didn't realize he had done such a poor job (we didn't double check his work, he was a lot of talk without follow through).

    We called ADT to have the missing pieces installed and to have the sensors remounted, and to have the timer for the doors set so that when we drive thru our garage doors the 'alarm' doesn't go off, or walking thru the garage access. A tech came, said he had fixed the timer but hadn't. Thankfully we learned the first time and checked before he raced out of his job with our home to a job in Page. The alarm went off, not the warning alarm but "The Alarm". The technician that came up to fix the timers gave excuse after excuse for the poor installation to begin with ie: stuff was in the way of the windows, there wasn't anything in the way that wasn't mobile. (We were there and had there been things in the way or anything needed by the original installer we would have gladly have accommodated.)

    We pressured him, the tech who came up to fix delays, to reinstall all of the window sensors, which he did without care and we have had at least one sensor fall off in the house, we didn't have him touch the garage. On top of all of that my husband had told him he wanted all of the sensors in the same place in the house and in the garage. When my husband walked away he doubled checked with me, as if it try to get a different opinion. This is just a small summary of our experience. If I could do it again, I would go with a different company. ADT service is lacking when techs are at customer's homes and the wait times to get a hold of ADT for service is ridiculous and they never call back when you put in a request. We'd be better off to set off an alarm to get customer service.

    We entered into a contract for the installation of a new recorder, a monitor and 2 cameras for our Capitol City Building in Charleston, West Virginia, 25301. We are happy with the installation and the equipment is working ok. I received a call from an ADT collection person last week advising that we are past due in the amount of close to $450. After checking with John **, the local ADT Manager who I did this transaction with, he advised we still owed $190 + tax plus 4 months fee for an on-going service that we did not request and never entered into a contract for this monthly service. Nor have we ever received an invoice for the $190 monitor.

    After inquiring about this with John, he informed me that he had discussed this with me on the front end and that it was ADT's policy in all contracts to include this monthly service. I informed John that we never had this discussion and also that in 40 yeas in the commercial property management business that I never entered into a contract that included this on going monthly service. John sent me a contract supposedly showing where I agreed to this service and also I signed the contract for this service. It is important to know that the signature on the contract for this service we are being billed for is not my signature... It is not even close, which means that my signature has been fraudulently signed to the ADT contract.

    Please note that I hand delivered a $190 + 7% sales tax check ($203) to your ADT office yesterday and asked to speak with John and he would not see me. I gave the receptionist my card and asked that John call me. Also, when I returned to the office I e-mailed John and asked that he call me so we could resolve this issue immediately.

    I called in because our battery is running low and I was unable to locate keys to our box. When I spoke to the customer service rep she advised me that the keys are probably on top of the box, which they were! She then told me where I could find a replacement battery and how to replace the battery. The customer service rep was great help and I was on and off the phone in the matter of a few minutes, I did not have to hold for long at all.

    Police were informed that our garage alarm went off. We do not have an alarm there, only in the house. They were there in minutes, which we were glad to see however, felt it unnecessary. Shouldn't ADT have called us and, perhaps, held off an unnecessary visit from the police? OR, should we have just called 911 to report. The police of our small city were happy to oblige!

    We've had our ADT system for about 2 years, if memory serves. I probably have not "tested" it frequently enough, and there have been no actual breaches, but when I have "triggered" it, it worked. My wife, especially, likes the idea of ADT watching the ramparts when she is home alone. We do not live in a high crime area by any means, but most of our neighbors in our association also have ADT and all are satisfied with both the technology and the price.

When I signed up, I signed up with auto payments from the very beginning. 2 months later I got a call saying I had $25 past due and no one could explain why it wasn't just automatically taken out of my account. I paid it. 2 months after that I get a bill in the mail stating I'm $150 past due and when I called to check why it wasn't taken out of my account, the reps said my card was deleted and there was no reason why. I am horrible at keeping track of my bills, so I have chosen to have everything coming out of a separate account automatically. It makes my life easier.

    Here is my history with ADT. 1/26/16 I bought 2 cameras that were supposed to pick up "EVERYTHING" according to the salesman and 3 sensors. 757.95.

    March-I received a package. It did not record the delivery man coming to my front door, but it did capture my friend picking it up. This was my first clue the cameras were not picking everything up. Since then I have been going back and forth with ADT. I wanted my money back because it is not doing what it was supposed to do. I also have a 36 mo. contract at 65.00 mo. I am so unhappy and disappointed because I purchased the cameras for safety/security which I don't have. ADT did NOTHING. I WOULD NOT GO WITH ADT. THEY ARE LIARS AND I AM STILL TRYING TO GET MY MONEY BACK TO NO AVAIL.

    3/15/16 I called ADT to complain the cameras were not capturing everything. 3/15/16 also sent an e-mail to ADT. 3/23/16 called ADT again because no response to 3/15 call or e-mail. 3/27/16 called ADT again because still no response to 3/15 call or e-mail. 3/31/16 ADT service rep came to check out cameras. He said if I want the cameras to capture everything I would need digital cameras. The cameras I bought do not capture everything. I said had I known this I would have never purchased these cameras. I want them to capture everything. That was the whole purpose in getting the cameras.

    April: 4/3/16 called Vincent **, Manager ADT, to complain. He said he would call me back and never did. 4/12/16 I e-mailed Said and Vincent because no one called me back. 4/14/16 Said called me back. I told him how dissatisfied I was and I wanted to cancel. He said he would speak with his boss and get back to me. He never got back to me. 4/18/16 called Said again said I wanted to cancel, no return call. 4/21/16 called Said again. We made an appointment for him and his boss to come to my home 4/28 to check the cameras. They did not show or call to cancel. 4/30/16 called ADT again. S/W Raymond, told him my problems and said I wanted to cancel. He said he will put a note in the computer and have someone get back to me either Monday or Tuesday. No one got back to me.

    May: 5/5/16 called ADT and Said, left a message to call me back. Said called me back. I told him I wanted to cancel. He said I can and he will send an e-mail stating I wanted to cancel and get back to me. Then I receive an e-mail from Said stating I can cancel but need to have 3 service calls first. I don’t understand why I need to have 3 service calls before I can cancel. When the service man came to my home he told me these cameras were not going to capture everything. So what are two other people going to do?

    5/23/16 I spoke with Said. He said I have 6 mos. to cancel my contract and they should not be charging me to cancel the contract. He said I have until 7/25/16 to cancel per email 5/2016. Said connected me with Gail in billing. We had a 3 way conversation. Said explained to Gail I shouldn’t have to pay to cancel the contract. I have 6 mos. to cancel. Gail said she can’t put this through because she needs a copy of the contract saying I have 6 mos. to cancel. Said said he will speak with his manager and have the paperwork put through. Never happened.

    I told Said I don’t want this service. From the history above alone I am not satisfied. I purchased the cameras due to a domestic abuse issue. I wanted cameras to be safe that I could see if anyone came to my home. I don’t feel safe. I was not told when I bought this package that the cameras would not capture everything. If I was told that I would not have purchased it. I told him I want this escalated. Asked him who is the next in line for me to contact? I need to get a system in my home that will protect me ASAP. I do not have time to have two more service calls. This has been going on long enough. Never heard back.

    When at a neighborhood watch meeting in January of 2014, a saleslady representing ADT did a presentation and took names and numbers from anyone interested in ADT service. She contacted me and we set up a meeting that she did not show up for. I called her and we set up another meeting. We visited for a while and determined a plan that I could afford and she filled out all the paperwork. The Service contract I have is dated 1/31/2014 and states that my monthly fee will be $36.99 for two years with a $15.00 installation fee that I paid her on the spot. We also scheduled an install date for a short time after. I do not remember the exact date, but I do remember that no one showed up after I had taken time off of work to be there.

    February 2nd, 2014 I was charged by ADT on my credit card for the $15.00 installation fee that I had already paid to my saleslady in cash. I called and ADT refunded the fee, a few months later. In April 2014, my monthly bill was increased by $15.00 to $51.00. I assume this was for the $15.00 installation fee, but the bill does not say that. I called and the bill was changed and I was told to pay my regular amount.

    My saleslady knew that I was financially nervous about starting the service and on March 18, 2014, before install had occurred, she texted me and offered me an additional incentive of 6 referral bonuses totaling $300 and in 6 months she could get me a few more referral bonuses. Finally, she told me that her manager was going to allow her to waive the fee for the second month of service. (At the time I assumed this was for the delays in install.) On top of all that, she had told me that if I placed a call in a few months to the Customer Loyalty Dept, they would drop my monthly fee to $20 because I had lost my job.

    After nearly two months, I finally got the install on a Saturday, 3/29/2014. The installer was amazing. He was a great guy and very nice. He didn't seem to know the system very well though, because after six months of my alarm going off right after being set and many calls with the ADT service department, I finally got another installer to come and determine that the problem was that the first installer had mounted the sensor on a metal door and did not have proper signal through the door. He moved the sensor and I have never had another false alarm in two years.

    For several months, I asked my saleslady where the referral bonus check was and she kept telling me that it would be coming, so I kept letting it slide, until I found out that she had left ADT and moved away. I called, emailed, attempted chats with ADT and I kept getting switched from department to department and I still have never gotten the referral bonus check. It's been over two years. I have left many messages and ADT will no longer return my calls or emails. I have the text messages on my phone; I have the emails showing my many attempts at contacting ADT. I've spent hours on hold with them. I have attached a screenshot of the text messages and a bill for verification that I am an ADT customer. I have sent this information to ADT via emails, but still no response.

    Now ADT is raising my monthly payment for a second time in the last two years. My saleslady also told me no price increases would happen until the end of my two year contract, but I can't prove that. I'm fed up with ADT. I'm not going to pay this increased bill. I have attempted to contact them to cancel my account, but they still won't answer me or call me back, so I'm not going to pay any more to see if they will call me. I don't know what else to do. I'm sure my account must be flagged in their system and they won't talk to me. I'm hoping this website will get their attention.

    After 17 long years of loyalty to ALL my service providers, ADT is the only company that worked with me when I was laid off work for almost 2 years; At times when I did not have the money to make the payment they took my bill to "zero" and sometimes they asked me to pay half and they absorb the other half. I would NOT trade ADT for any other security company as long as I own a home. If I had a problem and they were to come out for service, their servicemen were always on time and they explained to me what is the problem and how they resolved it. Thanks ADT.

    Our son has ADT at his home as well as us. A few days ago his alarm went off. We received the call, he was in the shower at home and the alarm was not making a sound. The person who called us from ADT called back to say she had called the police and gotten a busy signal twice then when she got through they informed her it was not their jurisdiction. There was no breaking but what if there had been - there was at least a 20 minute time lapse!!!

    I've had a good experience with ADT. The sales rep was very friendly and I had a positive experience with the installation team. I got the basic system to control the doors, the smoke, and penetration to the home, and a couple of monitors. I have a digital pad but one of them went bad and the ADT guys suggested that I wait until the second one goes bad before calling in. Every time I've had some problem, I've called and they have come soon. Every time I notice something wrong, I report it and they ask me for a time, and then they come.

    Recently, I assisted police in catching a burglar who had climbed into one of my garbage cans. A police dog was eventually able to catch him across the street. I think security monitoring is a good idea in my neighborhood and can see home security signs on my neighbors' front yards. Other security providers want me to bundle with them but ADT has become competitive in this category as well. One example would be The Pulse Portal access I now have and want to add on to in the future.

    We have been customers for many years and now we are moving. Last year we discontinued our landline and had to start wireless security service. When I called the office about our move I found out we had two years left on a contract I didn't know we had. I was told that I could continue my service at our new location or if the new owners wanted the service they could continue our contract. The new owners are not interested so that is not an option. We are in a gated community so I don't see the need for security, but I was willing to get the service just to use up our contracted time. Now I have to sign a new three contract or pay the $670 left on our contract. We are on a limited income and I feel this is very unfair. Any help in matter would be greatly appreciated.

    We had a home in Sheffield that was using a local security service. We were not pleased with the security because when the power goes out, the local security's power is also out so we didn't have any service. Meanwhile, ADT is not just here in Killen so when our power goes out, theirs doesn't. We have such good service with ADT so we've stayed with them for so long. We have ADT in this house and our guest house so we feel very comfortable with having them both secured. We've recommended them several times.

    We had the service agreement and anytime we'd ever have a problem, they just come straight on that and fixed it, which hadn't been many times. One time we had a bad storm and they called and asked if we were okay since our alarm went off. They asked us to walk through the house to make sure that everything is okay. I appreciate that ADT is always there for us because we're not young people. A while back, the system was not working properly. They told me when I called in that it was the battery that's the problem. The lady rep told me that the battery has to be changed but it was on top of a nine-foot ceiling. Since nobody here can climb up a ladder to change the battery, they had a guy come out to do it.

Don't promise the rebate if you won't deliver and help your customers figure out how to activate the ability to receive the rebate. For that I only gave you a 4 - should've been a 3.5, because I don't care for that dishonest part of the sale.

    I probably should have researched the subject before I made a decision. I had Protection 1 equipment installed and wanted to get it updated and monitored. When I called Protection 1 they claimed not to have any local office but they had bought ADT and they could handle my request. The sales rep and installation guy were well versed and professional. I had two window sensors added, a glass breakage sensor and an additional smoke detector and motion sensor. They also swapped out the control panel and added a bevy of new boxes. I was charged $350 for the new equipment and signed up for 3 years of monitoring at $50/month. Since the installation I've received several offers from ADT that included 9 free sensors and $30/month monitoring... hence the buyer's remorse. I question ADT's business ethics and while I'm locked in for the next 3 years I probably won't renew with them as there are simpler and less expensive systems available.

    When reaching for a package on my backdoor step, I fell down the two concrete steps and landed hard on my shoulders and head. As I cannot get up from the floor anymore, I was unable to stand. My husband died two months previously and I was faced with lying on the concrete in the full sun until somebody happened by my rural home. I have no children, and would have been stuck outside at least until morning, when my personal aid comes to work. I didn't have my telephone with me as I had not intended to go outside. Although I could tell I hadn't broken anything, I suffer from heat stroke.

    This could have been very serious for me, but I wear the emergency fob all the time, and pressed the button. The first-responders arrived fairly soon after I pressed the button, and checked me over, then helped me get up and inside my house.

    We called to upgrade to the Pulse system. We were not provided with all the info required to upgrade which included unexpected charges. To make matters worse we were informed we had to pay one month in advance. We pay quarterly and had already paid for the next 3 months. After so much misinformation we cancelled the upgrade.

    The installation seemed to go flawless. I asked about my rate. Told him the home phone line was in the basement and I was using that to get the original rate of 27.99 a month. He said, "Okay, they will still call your cell phone in case you're not home." I informed him my name was incorrect and was not Alexander and he said not to worry. It wasn't a big deal. I signed 2 places which said I understand the contract. Never once seeing the part of the monthly charge of 52 dollars and to my knowledge was getting the 27 dollar package previously agreed upon. I was also informed that the installation was free and was given so many sensors enough to cover everything but yet still was charged 300 dollars the day of installation.

    I reviewed the document I signed after I received my 1st bill and my name was still incorrect and my signature was forged. I signed with my signature on the electrical pad and suddenly my name was signed Alexander ** in multiple places I do not remember seeing the day of installation. After spending 90 minutes on hold today and transferred to many people, I will be contacting the regional manager on Monday and have a lawyer to overlook the documents and will be considering legal action. I feel violated and taken advantage of and you all have been less than helpful in the situation. I will never recommend your services to anyone and will deter people from purchasing anything from your company.

    Excellent initial customer service. Kate customer services rep came to our new house and explained ADT security plan. We signed up right away, installation tech was great too - installation was performed within a week. OAL happy with ADT but we were trying to update to ADT Pulse which initially we couldn't due to absence of internet in our brand new home. We contacted ADT to upgrade to ADT Pulse and requested that we talk to Kate. They said they will have her call us back. That's all. No responses at all for 2 weeks then we called Kate on her phone and left multiple messages without a response.
