When I was young, I had ADT so I figured I’ll try that as I got older. My interaction with their reps and installation team was good. They were helpful. But when I first got the system, it was fine but now, it goes out a lot. When I reach out to them to troubleshoot the system, they just tell me I needed to update my internet or get with some stuff they got to help improve it. But I don’t approve of that so I’m not gonna have them too much longer.

I’ve been a customer with ADT for three years. I’ve had a few interactions with customer service, and none of them have been unpleasant.
During the initial installation, I had them move a camera, and the installer handled it without any issues. Later, the motion detector battery died, it still sends a signal to the main system even when it’s not in the circuit, so it drains over time. I started getting a low-battery beep, but I couldn’t replace it because the detector was installed too high up near the ceiling.
To access the motion detector, I have to slide its face up, but there wasn’t enough room since it was right against the ceiling. They sent a tech, charged me for the service call, and ended up having to remove and replace the detector with a new one mounted about an inch lower, so I can reach it in the future. It was a bit of a hassle, but they ultimately zeroed out the charge and reimbursed me. It wasn’t a big deal.
At first, it pissed me off a little since it was their fault, but it all worked out. One thing I’ve noticed is that my monthly monitoring charge has gone up twice during my time with them, that feels a bit excessive. The first time we had a false alarm, they called within seconds, but since then, we’ve had more false alarms and never got a call. It makes me wonder if they are watching or not.
A competitor came to my door, and I told him I was happy with my current setup. It’s all paid for, and I even got a small price break through my retiree benefits. He told me it costs them way less than they’re probably charging. When it’s time to renew, ask them for a break. They debit one of my credit cards each month for the service.
As I mentioned, the monthly charge has gone up twice since I first signed up about three years ago, which does seem a bit excessive. I don’t recall the original amount, but it went to $68, and now it’s $73. I have my bill book open here. I may have signed up before the first increase.
I’m not thrilled about the cost, but I guess that’s what it is. I value the peace of mind knowing we have protection. Most people don’t appreciate it until something happens.

I’ve been with ADT for less than a year after transitioning from Alder. I still have the Alders app, and no one has told me anything about switching to the ADT app. Honestly, the Alders app was better. I’m still using it and can log in and access everything I need.
The only thing I have is the system. I asked them for additional window sensors, but they never provided them. Response time has been good when the alarm has gone off, and the security features meet my expectations.

For the first six months, my service didn't work. I couldn’t see my cameras, and ADT kept charging me for it, so I had to keep calling and calling. It was just awful. I tried to get in touch with the guy that originally set me up, but he never responded, so I don't know if he's still with ADT. It got to the point that I wanted to cancel it. I was able to get a live person instead of a recording to hear my story, and they sent somebody out. This guy was great and after that, the service has been awesome. Only thing is he kept telling me ADT is not compatible with Verizon, but Verizon was with the model home when I bought it, so I don’t know why.

I’ve has ADT for 20 years. I like their price. I like that they have been Johnny-on-the-spot. But I wanna upgrade this but they’re charging an arm and a leg for it. I'm pretty happy with it. The monthly price has always been good. Their customer service is perfect.
A couple of months ago, someone tried to break into my house. When they went in, my alarm went off. And ADT called, and the police were already at my house. It was quick. It was a good experience.
There's a number of buttons you can hit if you get housejack and someone puts a gun to your face to shut the alarm off. I love that feature where I just go ahead and hit two buttons and the cops come automatically.

ADT came and knocked on my door when I had just purchased my home in 2023. And then that's when we decided we wanted some cameras in the house.
It was a good service that's why we took it. But now it doesn't notify me if there's a person in my backyard. I've been a little not too happy with ADT. I'm going to cancel them because they count my huskies in the backyard as persons in the clips and it’s been a month since I don’t feel protected.
I have dogs in my backyard. It always counts my dogs like a person. So, by the first week of the month, my 6000 video clips are all gone already. And I had already called and discussed it with somebody at the ADT customer service. I hope they can fix it because I wanna be able to feel protected with the service.

I’ve had ADT for 12 years. It’s convenient to keep. However their sales reps are very pushy. They're trying to get you to upgrade to a new product with more money. And so, it's discouraging. Their technicians were good but there was something they couldn’t fix. They said I needed a new one because it was out of date. And then when I called to get a new one, it's just a lot of money.

I don’t like anything about ADT. For one thing, the back camera has never worked properly. We pay more a month for these cameras. We had an issue recently where the alarm would start going off. I called ADT and they said it was the battery on one of the glass break detectors. It was gonna be $160 for them to come out and fix it. That covers the cost of the battery and their service charge. I thought their service charge was only $59. So my husband went to a store here and bought a battery for $3.50 and put it in. We also pay a maintenance plan on this but it hasn’t covered anything with the problem we’ve had.
We’ve not been pleased with the system. Every time the power goes out, the alarm goes off and we try to reset it. One time, it kept going off and we were supposed to go out of town. We didn’t wanna leave the house without the alarm. I called somebody on the phone and he was in Louisiana. I don’t like dealing long-distance on things like this. The tech told me what the problem was. But then we had somebody come out and that person said it was not the problem.
Overall, we’ve been terribly dissatisfied with ADT and I don’t think they’re a very reliable company. I would tell others not to get ADT. Most people around here have Frase and there’s a reason for that. Frase is owned locally. We had them for years at our other home and at our home before that. Frase would be the only other company we would switch to.

ADT’s system works just fine, and I like the remote control on the key. The way they respond is also good. But their customer support could be better. I had three codes on my panel, and I didn’t know what those were. ADT could not detect that over the phone, so they had to send a tech out. It turned out that the battery was low on the remote. The tech drove two and a half or three hours to say that I needed a $2 battery in my remote. ADT could be better with that. They could also be better with their tech support. I don't know if they have them offshore, but they need to make sure they can communicate with somebody that lives in the United States.

I used a home security system when I was upstate in New York, and then carried the idea down here. I’ve had ADT for about 15 years. So far, it seems to be working fine, but I'm sure there are upgrades that could be added to it to make it even better. I recently called customer service to upgrade the battery life. Sent someone down, no problem, and switched it out. I like the response from the home office when I call them.

ADT offers good phone service and response. If they don’t have to send a representative, they’ll guide you through it over the phone. The performance of their system has been good for quite a while. I like that you can set the system to away or stay.
If you’ve got pets, it doesn’t pick them up. It has to be something bigger, like a cat or a dog, which we had problems with before. Their yard signs also have a tendency to fall apart after a while and get blown away. But we do have stickers in the windows that say we’re under security or under surveillance, so that works.

I've used ADT in the past, and I’ve had it now for seven years. I still have the same equipment I started with. They have not offered any upgrades. It seems like they don't give a crap unless you're a new customer now.
It used to be that if you accidentally tripped the alarm, within a minute, you would have a call going, "Hey, what's going on? Is everything okay?" That doesn't happen anymore. I guess, they're like everybody else and have gone to AI for their customer support.

I purchased a new home, and ADT was one of the promotions that came with buying the home. I’ve been with them for about two months, and I’m very satisfied. There was an option where I could get fire or carbon monoxide detectors in the equipment, but it would have been at a cost. It was like a $500 bonus where I could choose some things, and I chose a few things that I thought were more important.
I’ve had two false alarms, and the customer service was very kind and sweet. In one of them, I was at work and they couldn’t reach me, so they contacted my emergency contact, which was nice. I also like their app. I’ll set the alarm and all of that, and it’s very convenient. There are a few little things, like with my garage door, where it’ll say that it’s open when it’s not. But overall, I like it, and it makes me feel better being at home. It’s a must-have, wonderful, and very friendly to use. I would definitely recommend that everyone have one piece in their home.

I have purchased an ADT home security system about 30 days ago and I love everything about the system except for one item. I have a faulty door window sensor that I have asked them to replace. I had one tech appointment so far and we made a few changes to the sensor, which we thought may have fixed the problem, but the sensor continues to go off-line, even though it’s the closest one to the base. I have asked them again to replace it. They continue to refuse replacement and offer another tech appointment. If I purchased a brand new system less than 30 days ago, I’m not understanding why they cannot replace it under warranty and why I have to continue to go through tech appointments when clearly it’s not being fixed. One tech appt. was certainly enough if it couldn’t be fixed after the first tech appointment, it should be replaced.

I have been an ADT customer since 2004, over the years they have tried to raise the prices, etc but all was ok. My system was the older one which works with phone line, this year I discovered that my monitoring has not been working since Oct 2024, I brought to their attention and the rep gave me an credit of $35. I was okay with the small credit and to date, they never refunded me. I have their email confirmation of the refund but they don’t honor it and said they could not see it on their record! I canceled my acct and upgrade my system... and in the process discovered ADT was double of SimpliSafe! Never thought ADT was this dishonest and unprofessional.

Too bad I can't give zero stars. Stay away from this company. I had repeated instances of their system triggering an alarm for no reason in the middle of the night. I spent literally hours with customer service reps (many clearly overseas), onsite technician visits, and installation of new sensors. Bottom line problem continued to occur to the point I could not use the system and was forced to cancel and spend $2 grand for new system with another company. ADT's response: charging me an early termination fee because they had offered to send yet another technician out and I finally refused.
Read real customer reviews, not industry-captured magazine reviews, and you'll see the same pattern of gross incompetence and customer frustration. Also, if you take notice, ADT issues the same canned reply to all negative customer reviews as the one I'm sure will be posted in response to this message. There's no human involved and, I can assure you that if you follow up at the suggested e-mail address you will experience the same lousy customer service. There's a lot of good alarm companies out there, virtually all of which are less expensive. Use one of them.

ADT was the cheapest, but I don't think I enjoyed it, personally. I worked at the time in the Department of Defense security space, and I felt like they were very not knowledgeable. I've even taken cameras down from my system because they wouldn't listen to my opinion on where I wanted them.
I just think that they have absolutely no knowledge of their own systems, and that also goes for the installers. Installation was terrible. I've got massive holes in my walls from the installation. I would not recommend the ADT to anybody.
I told them where to put the cameras, and he was like, "Oh, no. We need it this way." So he literally put a camera facing my neighbor's house instead of just facing my driveway where it would've faced my house and my front yard, so I wound up having to take that camera down. Out of the two cameras that I pay for every month, I only have one actually up right now. So then I had the massive holes from that.
Customer service is terrible. They were trying to raise my rate, and I'm like, "All right. First off, we're locked into a contract." And so, they were like, "Oh, well you have 30 days to protest your price." And I was like, "Well, I'm doing that right now." And they were like, "All right. Well, then your price won't go up this time." Right now, I'm literally just waiting for the contract to end, and then I'm not gonna renew ADT by any means.

I changed from another company to ADT. I had seen signs around town and I called up and talked to one of the local sales reps. He was a very sharp guy and didn't try to flimflam me.

We've had them for seven years now. We've accidentally set off our alarm quite a few times. They're very prompt to call us. They've had to call the police out a couple of times because I did not get it turned off, and the local police were here in a matter of minutes. I lived here for 32 years so I know most of the guys around town. The police still had to come in because ADT called them. They were very prompt and took care of business.

We have tried cancelling our ADT since December 2023, and until now they are still charging us. Each time we call, the agent says it’s cancelled and we shouldn’t get charged anymore, but the charges keep coming. One manager even refunded us the amount they had taken out after our original cancel date in 2023. They are still taking money out. I cancelled them through my bank and now they sent us a past due bill. We called and the agent says we have to okay the past due amount to cancel. An amount that shouldn’t be there to begin with if they cancelled in 2023 like we asked. I don’t understand their process and I don’t understand why each agent is giving us misinformation. This is by far the worst service.

When I was with another security company, someone broke into my storage unit, and my alarm didn’t go off. I knew my neighbor had ADT, so I switched to them. Their sales rep came, but I had already made up my mind. The visit was very quick. Afterwards, the installer came and installed a new system for me. I’m very pleased with the service. In fact, it was far better than what I had before. I wouldn’t change a thing even if someone came and told me they would do anything for free. The system is exactly what I need.
The only thing that I don’t feel good about is that I pay a certain amount every month. I get one charge for the service and a second charge for paying for my equipment, $10.66. I’m not too far away from the point when I’m supposed to have paid it off. But there’s a clause in the contract that says that if I decide to go with another company or if I stop the service, they get to come and get the equipment. Then why am I paying for it? That didn’t make a lot of sense to me. But that’s the only issue. I still would recommend ADT. I actually do recommend them to anyone who ask me about it.

I like the longevity of the company. I used to have ADT at a former home, and I never had a problem with the service. The functionality of the system is fine. It's just that some of the other equipment that other companies offer is a little bit more up to date than what I currently have as far as the connections and the devices. I've had this system since 2016, and in order for me to update or upgrade, I would have to pay a lot of money to do that, and I don't feel that I should be paying full price for equipment upgrade, especially as long as I've been a part of ADT.
I also like the 24/7 availability to get in contact with someone. But the last interaction that I had wasn't pleasurable to me. I ordered a battery over the phone and the gentleman I was working with told me he put the order in. I double checked with him to make sure it was the battery that I needed, and he told me that it was. One of the things that I wasn't quite happy with was he told me I had to pay for the battery. I told him the last time I ordered a battery was three years ago and he said for my particular ADT service, I only get 1 free battery. And I didn't care for that because I've been a customer since 2016 and for me to have only obtained one battery the entire time that I've had my service was kind of disheartening. And he sent me the wrong battery, so I wasn’t too happy about that. I never paid attention to the order because I trusted what he said. When the battery arrived, I pulled it out and I called, and the individual that I talked to realized through our conversation that it was the wrong battery. He issued me a partial refund. I told him I didn’t ask for that battery, so he updated the system, it took 20 minutes to get my full refund, and I never placed another order because I muted the sound that comes out when your battery is low and forgot about it. But the overall customer service that I've had outside of the last couple of interactions has been good and I've never really had a problem with ADT.

I had ADT before, and I left because I was having problems getting a technician to come out. I went to another company and then later came back to ADT. Overall, my equipment’s been working fine and I’m happy with it. I have a wireless system and the ADT Pulse app on my phone that I can use to turn the system on and off. They're a little more expensive than others. I’m paying $59.99 a month, when my previous service was $39.99. But the equipment I have is comparable with equipment from other companies.
One time, I was having a problem resetting my password. I kept trying to do it on my phone, and it wouldn’t take. I called ADT, and the woman I talked to walked me through it. She was very patient even as I was looking at the wrong stuff and touching the wrong thing. We got it straightened out. The second time around, my door wouldn’t latch since a little tab fell off. I called ADT, and a tech came out and replaced it. He was polite and very nice. They didn’t charge me anything. They also put a new pad and added extra stuff, like the glass break thing and newer motion cameras, all at no charge. I’m pleased with them.

The ADT system was already in my home when I bought it. I wouldn't say it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it’s okay. Every once in a while, the driveway camera will disconnect itself, and I can't see any footage from it. So, I unplug it, wait a minute, plug it back in, it reboots itself, and it’ll be fine. I don't know if it's just the package that I have, but I need more storage space for camera footage because a bunch of kids run around our neighborhood, so my camera's always getting triggered. I haven't really dug deep to find out what exactly the security system can do, but I know that if something goes anywhere near the camera, it triggers, which I like because I don't wanna have blind spots. And the price is not the best, but it’s not terrible. I found a different security system, but I'm stuck in a contract with ADT for five years. But that’s my fault ‘cause I didn't pay any attention when I signed the document to take over the authorization for the cameras.

We had ADT at the previous house that we had. When we were building this house, all my neighbors and friends said they had ADT at the time and we didn't have any kind of security system. So, when we built this house, we had ADT put in our security system. The wiring was there, but they came from the beginning. It’s been 30 years since we have them. Having it makes me feel comfortable that they kept my house safe.
Their customer service reps have always been polite and very attentive. They've come out and done a couple of things, like updates, because we've been with them for so long. They also upgraded the keypad and put in a smoke detector.
Everything has always been very good. I've never had any problems with them. They always call. I know they give me a minute or so because we've had the alarm go off accidentally. I've set it off accidentally myself by setting it and then going out the wrong door. But as long as I get it turned off immediately, then I don't have to go through the call. I've had it go off one time when my son came over and he didn't have the alarm. And he had the key and came on in and it set it off. But we got it straightened out. He just called me and then I called ADT.
There are features that I would like to have more of, but I can't afford to have them put in. ADT is a little spendy. I have had several offers that are lower than that. But so far, I've been able to keep up the price. However there may be a time when I can't do that because I lost my husband. But as long as I can manage it, I will continue with them. If I can't, then I guess I'll have to call them.

We’ve had ADT for a while now. I don’t even remember where we saw the advertisement, but they came, gave us a quote, and installed everything. About a year ago, another company reached out with a better plan. We considered it, then called ADT to let them know. They reviewed our plan and offered to reduce our monthly payment by half if we signed up for two more years. I was surprised, and now we only pay about $30 a month for our system.
As far as I can tell, it’s really good. We haven’t used it much or had any issues, so we’re satisfied with it. Knowing we can set the alarm at night and feel secure that if someone tried to break in, we’d be notified quickly and the police would arrive shortly gives us peace of mind.

I had ADT for seven years before everything got messed up. After my husband died, they really screwed things up. They came out for a service call and replaced some equipment. Two different people told me there would be no charge for the upgrade, but I ended up being charged $1,300, which I had to pay. They would not remove the charge. All they did was replace sensors that were out and put in a different box.
On one call, I was transferred to six different people. I don’t know what departments they were in. Everyone kept passing me around and asking the same questions over and over. I kept telling them I was told there would be no charge, and they just said there was a charge.
I kept telling them I didn’t know or I wouldn’t have done it if I had known it was going to be a $1,300 charge. My husband just died, I lost $3,000 a month in income, and I make less than $2,000. They sounded sympathetic, but they kept passing me to someone else, and it became very frustrating. They refused to waive any of the charge, and I had to pay all of it.
The system itself works fine. I like that it tells me which doors are open. I live alone, so that’s good to know. My late husband had dementia, and it helped me know if he was going outside. That part was helpful. Everything works well. I just don’t understand why two people told me it would be free when it wasn’t.

I’ve been with ADT for over 40 years, and I chose them in the beginning because they were actually a small and good company. But I’ve kept them all these years due to insanity because they’ve changed over the years.
So, about two or three years ago, they sent a newbie who was just supposed to change the battery in my attic. And so, the guy came in and said that my system is now archaic, and they’re upgrading me to a wireless system. So, he changed it all and dropped the wires, but it really didn’t work, ever.
And so, I called ADT and told them that I really hate this new system because I’m not even able to use it. And I never wanted it in the first place. And it also keeps firing off for no reason. And they looked into it, and they said that they made a mistake, and they didn’t know how that happened. So then, over the next six weeks, with multiple different appointments, they came and put me back to my old custom watch, but lost two of the wires of the motion. So, now, I’ve got abandoned motions in formal rooms that don’t even work.
And if I take them out, I'm gonna have holes in the wall. And black stains from whatever they did were on a beautifully upholstered stool. And going forward, at some point, the alarm kept going off, and it wasn’t even talking to the station. So, when that guy came out, he said that they never abandoned the first account. And the account is still the only one that's being recorded at the station, not the wireless one.
Now, it was more than a year and a half this would have been going on. And that guy told me that I should really call ADT because this has been going on ever since they screwed up. So, after multiple calls, they gave me one month of credit.
So, going forward, I have a wireless contact sensor in a basement well window. And I am now capable of changing batteries. And that sensor went off, so I changed the battery, then it would stop, then start again. This went on for the better part of four weeks. So, I finally called ADT and told them that I’ve put three different new batteries in, it would take them, and then it would say, “Check battery.” And then the sensor for it goes off in the middle of the night.
And so, they said that they would send out a tech and that I probably just need a new contact. And probably the board in the back is no good. And now, supposedly, I have a maintenance agreement. So, a tech came out about a month ago, he changed the sensor out, and then he said that there’s a 59.99 fee. And I told him that I had a maintenance agreement, but he said that it’s across the board now. So, every time they come out to the house, it’s 59.99.
So, I signed off on that, but they charged me $83 or $84. I saw it on my PNC credit. And so, I called ADT and told them that it’s nuts because I have a maintenance agreement. And they said that it was because the technician came out. And I told them that I agreed to pay the 59.99, but I did not agree to pay for the new sensor. So, it’s like pulling teeth with them.
And then I got billed for both systems for almost nine months. So, I was on the phone for hours at a time, and they kept telling me that it’ll be resolved next month, but it never got resolved for almost a year.
I didn’t pay for the wireless one, but I kept getting bills with interest accruing. And they didn’t reimburse me for anything. And looking back, I should have sued them for the damage they did in this house. And I never even wanted a new system. And the new system didn’t even work.
And also, with all the billing problems that happened back then. And then I was told that I should be reimbursed because all that monitoring money that I had given, nobody was even monitoring the system for almost a year and a half. And it supposedly got escalated, but nobody ever bothered to call me.
The other thing is that they sent this kid to go back to the old system. And I had the whole lovely list of all the zones that are in the box. And it's in a wall that's like drywalled over studs. And it's an outside wall where this box is, but it's inside the house. Then he dropped the list, and he couldn't get it out. And I still don't have a list. So, it has really been a major nightmare. And I pray to God that other people have better experiences.

Just like switching out the main battery for the main unit and the batteries throughout the house, or if you had a problem with something, they were there. But now, they say if you want a technician to come out, it'll cost $100.
It used to be that that was part of the contract, that they would come out. They would take care of it. They would supply you with batteries.

When I moved into a home in 2012 in Wildwood, they had ADT, so all I had to do is just get it activated. And since I was a widow and alone, I thought that might be a good idea. My husband never really wanted us to get it at the other house. He didn't think we needed it. So that's how I started it. And then when I moved a year ago to this condo, I thought it's just peace of mind in a way. I don't know how much it protects you.
I called ADT last month because for two months now, my bill is 51 something and I think it was 48. And they didn't notify me that it was going to increase. But the man I spoke with insisted that it's still only 48. But on my bank statement, it says $51. And I didn't get any kind of notice that it was going to be going up.
I set the alarm off by accident last month. When I came in, I hit the wrong number for the code. And I was trying to get the right one. I was surprised that it didn't take long for the alarm to go off. But they called. They were good about it. And then there was a lady officer that came to my door, so that's good.

The last ADT guy we had to come out here was really nice and explained a lot of stuff to us. But in order to get to that point, it's a good 15 minute phone call just pushing buttons and trying to figure out who you need to talk to. Other places, when the system is working, it’s great. But if the wind's blowing too hard or there's too much dust, it's a pain.
What we don’t like is, regardless whether it's something we've done or their product malfunctioning, we still have to pay at least $100 for them to come out each time we need someone. It's not cheap.

We moved in 7 years ago. The sales rep from ADT worked with MI Homes, the construction company that built this place. ADT is well-known, and this house was a new construction and ADT had some kind of a deal going on, which the person I dealt with was clueless about. I had to follow up with him. If he was paid by commissions, you would think he would be a little bit more assertive but he didn’t really pursue.
I have an old system and I haven't had any issues with it. They said if I upgrade to the newer equipment, where it's like a touch screen, then I have to pay more. It'd be nice to have it, but I'm not gonna pay more for it because my current one works fine. The only thing is that they should just offer the newer equipment. A lot of people are moving up to these self-installed systems, and ADT's got one. It’s modern and more up to date, though I'm not missing any features with my current system. It does what it's supposed to do, and I feel comfortable with it.
I would recommend ADT. The biggest thing keeping me is the loyalty discount. I call every year and ask for it, and I do get it. I like that. The first seven months, they give you a discount, and then the other 7 months it's at a reduced rate. I just signed another five-year contract with ADT.

I've had ADT for several years and they've been very responsive. I know they have advanced in their technology but the system has been the same when they installed it from the beginning. I don't have a very elaborate system, but it works and I like it very much. It gives me the peace of mind of knowing that the home is secure when I'm home as well as when I'm away. It's all been performing very well.
For installation, there were two technicians who came. They walked around the house and looked to give me information about where they thought things would be best placed. I felt very comfortable with their appraisal of what would keep my home most secure. They did a great job. I was looking at a particular placement in one way and they advised me and walked me through why they thought a different way would be better. I felt very confident in the way that they pursued that.
For where I am, the service package I got is perfectly suited. From time to time, they contact and let me know if there's something new on the horizon or another way to pursue whatever I have and maybe advance to a different level if I want. There's never a push, though. It's just giving me information. There's also an app that I can use to check on the system. It was a little wonky, but they've come through with a few upgrades. Any time that I had a problem with the app, they came through very quickly with recommendations and were able to adapt to what I needed. They got back to me very quickly.
I would love the price point to be a little bit less. For what I'm receiving based on what I know the upgrades are, it's probably a little higher than I would prefer. But in the years that I've had them, it's not a huge increase. I was looking at some other options to see if they were better as far as the price point was, but compared to some other options, it's in the higher range for where I am. It may just be the location.

ADT was the only provider when we got the alarm system, and it’s been about 30 years. There was really no other alarm service at the time.

I had an upgrade three years ago, went from what I had to a digital system that really doesn't require a whole bunch of wiring and it's been pretty good. The only issue I had was when I had to call the support team, they tried to fix it over the phone, and they couldn't. They said my router was too old and my download speed was slow, but my router was only about a year old at the time. I had tested my download speed, and I got 900 megabytes per second and that’s fast. But they could never fix it, and it’s still happening. About nine times a day I get a little beep sound on the pad saying that I've lost the Wi-Fi and that’s not possible because it's still showing I have Wi-Fi and I have a Wi-Fi extender sitting six feet away from the pad. It was just a little frustrating that I was on the phone for 45 minutes and they were telling me to stand in front of the pad, do this, do that, and when I asked them to send a tech out, they wouldn’t. When I call, they're fine, but when they refer to their in-house technicians, that’s useless. If something happened and it was found that it could have been prevented if they had sent an agent out, they would have a nice lawsuit going on.
So, I just live with it. It beeps and it might happen again in an hour, two hours, or three hours, and I just chuckle because the little flag comes up on the screen, “Lost Wi-Fi” and in the upper left-hand corner of the screen shows the Wi-Fi signal is on. When I do a home test and I get a report once a month and I can bring it up any time on the screen saying that my signal is strong enough, my system is working on all the sensors and everything, I just disregarded that little beep ‘cause it doesn't mean anything. There's just something wrong with their internal system. I haven't had any false alarms. I'm retired, I'm home all the time with my wife, and she doesn't do anything with that system.

On top of that, the doorbell and driveway cameras have not worked for months. They’re supposed to be automatic. They worked well for a while, but now they don’t work at all.
There should be some level of compassion when someone takes a hit as hard as I have, to say, “Okay, you’re not using it. We can see that. Let’s go ahead and shut it off and let you out a few months early.” But no. So I’ll pay out the contract, and gotta be that.

When I call for a concern, like the last one, my panel was beeping a couple of times, along with the fire alarm. So I called them, and they walked me through everything I needed to do. I had the fire alarm sitting on the counter because it happened at two o'clock in the morning. They called to see if everything was all right, and the guy who worked with me was helpful and patient since I had to take it upstairs and put it on.
When the alarms go off, it's like nails on a chalkboard to me. It sends it up my spine, so it's like, “Oh, God!” I don’t have the most patience at that moment. Other times, when things have gone off, I run to get my phone because I know they’ll call right away. For instance, shortly after moving here, I had painters working while I was at the movies and my phone was turned off. The spray painting set off the fire alarm, and ADT sent out the fire department.
I only knew because I had to go to the bathroom and looked at my phone. I called them back, and they said, “No, it was taken care of.” Then, I talked with the painters and went back to the movies. Then it happened again, and I thought, “Oh great, welcome to the neighborhood.” The fire department came to my house twice. But it shows that ADT responded, and when they couldn’t reach me, they did what they were supposed to do.
I like having ADT even though I don’t use it all the time. I live in a “Leave it to Beaver” type of neighborhood where everyone looks out for each other. I can leave my garage door open all day without issues. But it’s still good to have. I do set it up, especially when I take a trip, or having the fire alarm, and in case something happens at night when I can press my panic remote.

When I bought my house in 2006, the builder had a contract with ADT, and I have maintained the contract with ADT for the past 17 years. I work for an international security company and don't have time to be jerking around. So, my company did a background check on ADT and said that they would recommend that I stay with them, and I did.
I never had any problems with them, and the service features in my package have met everything that we need. Occasionally, I’ve had alarms go off that were caused by my house guests who didn’t realize they were setting it off. When that happened, I put in the code, and about 15 minutes later, ADT called to follow up and make sure everything was all right. Other than a couple of phone calls in 17 years, I haven’t received any because I’ve stayed within my parameters, and they stay within theirs.

We've had ADT for more than five years, and it sucks. The representatives didn't do a damn thing for me.
We're working off of low battery on the motion sensor and on the sensors on the doors. We're elderly. I requested somebody to come out and change them for me. I pay $70 something a month. But they want me to pay $200 for somebody to do that. I don't think so. It's just not gonna happen. So we're running off of no alarm system adequately working.
The only thing that works now is the computer message saying the front door is open, sliding glass door is open, or the garage door is open.
We had the system put in. And then five years later, somebody came and upgraded it for us. We thought we were gonna do the Ring doorbell thing, but we have low Wi-Fi around here, so it didn't work out, which is fine. I really don't need it. I live on the highway. Too much noise.
At one time, I did call and I paid somebody to come out. My husband was livid with me because I paid that money, rightfully so, because I already pay $70 something a month. Technically, somebody just sits behind the desk and monitors it for me.
I've talked to them several times, but they did not budge. And I'm not saying that I need to have a senior citizen rapport with somebody. But it would be nice for somebody to say, "You know what? You've been a long time customer. Let me see what I can do to help you out and within your budget." Nobody's offered that.

Mistakes were made about not shutting the system off when we got home because we were letting the dogs out and letting them run.

I told them I just wanted to investigate their product, but they sent a guy to my house with all intentions that I was going to sign up. He even brought the little yard sign with him. He installed everything, but he didn’t impress me. They set the house up, and it does seem that if anybody tampered with the house, the alarm would go off.
The features of the service package don't meet my expectations very well, but the system does seem to do what it's supposed to do.

Right now, ADT sucks. I went with it because we had it a long time at our house out on 271. Fifteen years ago, I would have recommended them, but now I wouldn't because my house is not secure.
I can leave and come back, and my garage door will be locked and my back door will be open. I never received a phone call saying that somebody was in my house. My two cameras upstairs don’t work. I had a guy come out to fix them, and he had them going, but then, not even two weeks later, the things go down again.
I called ADT, and they said it will cost me $164 for them to come out. I can't afford to pay that every time I turn around. If this is the way it's gonna be, I'm just gonna find a different company to go to.
I’ve had them for over three years now, and customer service, at times, is okay. But I’ve had problems getting into my account, and they would say I need to do it whenever my daughter’s around to get the right code. I don't even know which daughter, because I have two, and the guy would not give me the information at all.
I pay the bill, but everybody else uses my ADT, and that's not right. I don't know who's messing with my account, but I know one thing. It's not secure with ADT. At least I know my passcode's still the same because whenever I punch it in, it takes and disconnects my alarm.

ADT has good service at a reasonable price. We’ve been with them for decades, and we stay with them because the system works. Their customer service was also good. If there’s an alarm, the customer service is very rapid. And if we’ve had a billing question, they’re pretty responsive. And because I’m trying to sort through various vendors we deal with on various things, I found that their customer service people seem empowered to make decisions.
So, the system we have is pretty good. It’s not the best, because most of our system has been around a long time, so it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that you can get on some systems today. But it seems fine.
But I don’t like their price increases. I’m paying an increased price for basically the same service. And it may not sound like a lot, but for example, a $3 increase on a $30 fee is a 10% increase. So, I think their price increases are a bit too aggressive.
And then the keypad that we have is on its last viable legs. And I just thought this morning that if the keypad dies, they’re gonna tell us that we need to buy a new one. And my intent is to tell them that I’m gonna switch services. Because that keypad is essential to providing the service. And I know they get their money back 1,000 times over. Let’s say if you take the price of our keypad and amortize it over the last 25 years, it hasn’t cost them 5 cents.
So, that’s the thing I worry about with them. And I know that because of acquisitions and other things, system upgrades, they can’t upgrade the compatibility of every keypad for all changes in their system. But the concern that I have is that we're gonna get shut out technologically, and I don’t think it’s gonna be very far off.

But I am not happy with ADT at the moment because I have reached out to them twice with reference to upgrading my equipment, because my system is old, and the keypad is as old as Methuselah, and it’s getting harder to press the buttons. And I have not had a decent offer for upgraded equipment, not even loyalty to the customer. And I think I reached out to them last year or the year before last about the keypad, and they wanted to charge me 200 and some change for a new keypad.
So, I think a new customer gets a better deal than the old customers, which is one of my biggest complaints with ADT. So, I have been researching other companies to utilize. I figure if you get a good deal as a new customer, let me also start doing it like everybody else. They should do what’s best for me.
And the other day, the siren went off. And I told them to go ahead and send the police, although I was in the neighborhood, and I came right back home. But it had nothing to do with anybody entering. It had to do with the door connection, which is just old.
And I got a new door, so I reconnected it myself. And they’re actually supposed to be sending me some new attachment pieces, or the glue sticks that hold them in place. So, I basically have to be the technician, making sure that I put it on correctly, and that shouldn’t be.

I have no camera nor alarm system now but I’m still making a minimal payment because the contract is still ongoing with the other company. They refused to let me out of it. But they made a very reasonable payment until the end of the contract, which should be March.

Most everybody around me has alarms. Some of them have ADT but I would tell anybody, if they’re looking for alarm service, go with ADT. They’ve been in business a long time and do a great job. We’ve been with ADT for over 30 years and I’m very happy with them. We have systems in our main house and in our farm house, and both work great. The one at the farm is a much newer alarm than the one I have in my house. I really need to have the one at our main residence updated. But the feature I like the most is the burglar alarm. My wife’s home by herself. As soon as the door opens, it instantly comes on.
Most recently, I got a fail on the power unit that went to the alarm box. I knew what was wrong with the unit. All it needed was a new power supply but ADT wanted me to run tests. I kept telling the lady that I couldn’t run one cause it’s dead. I asked her to do it instead since we usually do these over the phone. Eventually, I asked her to send me a technician to fix it which was what I probably should have done to start with.
It took a couple of days to get scheduled to get a tech down there because he had to drive about 2.5 hours since it’s down in a rural part of the state. He fixed everything just like we needed and was gone in about 15 minutes. He was very knowledgeable. In fact, this was the second time he’s been at our farm.

It's not hard to get ahold of ADT, but when I have questions, I get bounced around a lot with no clear answer. My only issue is that my system doesn't work properly and it's outdated, and I haven't been offered anything. All the customer service reps tell me to call sales. Sales wants me to put thousands and thousands of dollars into this new system, and I'm not doing that ‘cause I can't afford that, and this is not my home forever.
ADT updated my original system because that's when technology was changing. I used to have a panel on the wall, and they updated it and upgraded it because I was having issues with it not getting a signal, and that's when they started the cellular thing. Corporate got involved, they came in, repositioned the sensors, and did an upgrade to the system. So, this is the second system I've had, and I was told that there's no parts for it anymore. I got it when my house was broken into many moons ago and my kids were little then. They're all grown up, so this is how long I've had the system. And with time, age, and technology, they keep telling me that eventually, there will be no parts to fix this system, and to call sales.
My bill already keeps going up when it shouldn't. It's not supposed to go up anymore ‘cause I'm supposed to be grandfathered in. Once upon a time, I didn't pay a bill for almost two years because I had been paying for service, and it wasn’t getting a signal to ADT.

Over the years, we've always had very good experience. We found the service people easy to contact, very helpful and always took care of any kind of issue we had. They’ve been very responsive and professional. We had a battery problem one time, we called, talked to the tech, and they took care of it. They ordered a replacement battery and made sure it was scheduled to come quickly.

I bought a place in Abbotstown, and it was somewhere around May that I got ADT. It was shortly thereafter when I ended up getting the home security system put in. The guy that came and hooked everything up for me was really pleasant and nice. He even went through my cellphone and programmed everything. Then he showed me what I needed to do and how it worked. So far, everything has worked out just fine.
I get alerts. As a matter of fact, one day, I was in the kitchen area, and I shut the door to the microwave too hard. My alarm system went off. I had to hurry up and plug it in. Within a couple of minutes, I got a phone call from ADT wanting to know if I was okay, and if I needed the police or ambulance.
I’ve never had any problems. I’ve never called ADT because the security system speaks for itself. It works just fine. I’m gone most of the week because I’m working. So I just punch in my system in my cellphone, like armed-away. Then, whenever I come home before I go to bed, I just put down my arm-stay.
Then I got up in the morning, and a couple of times, I forgot about it. I took my lunch box, put it in my vehicle, came back in, and I heard this loud noise. I stood there for a minute. The closer I got to the front door, I realized where it was coming from. It was the security system.
It’s a wonder it didn’t wake the neighbors up. I just punched in my four-digit code, and then the sirens went off. It wasn’t more than a minute, and ADT was calling me to find out if everything was okay.
I’m very satisfied with my security system. I love having the system. It works perfect for me. I don’t have any regrets as far as getting it.

We got ADT when we closed on a house. We talked to a sales rep, and he was really personable. Everything was new because the house was a new build, but the system wasn’t up to par with what we’re paying. The interface on the app wasn’t that great and wasn’t super user-friendly. The doorbell kept disconnecting. Half the lights that we bought weren’t compatible with the system when they told us they were compatible. We ended up wasting money. We contacted ADT a few times in the beginning. They did what they could, but they couldn’t help us with anything. I can’t fault the customer service person.

I've been using ADT for almost 12 years. I started with them in New Jersey, and then I moved to Dallas and the experience with the sales rep in Dallas was not that good. I have two panels and they were not communicating with each other. So I called remotely, then somebody came in two times and fixed it, but the same issue happened again two days later. When they tried to do everything remote without really understanding what the problem was, it's not going to work. That's why I decided to discontinue the service with ADT. Also, when I call them to disconnect, they actually told me I could have gotten the same plan I had for a lower price. They then told me I had to call to find out whether there was a cheaper plan or not. They were taking advantage of my ignorance and that's not a good thing.

I would submit this review as 0 stars if I had that choice. Just want to share that ADT has been such a disappointment. We ordered a doorbell camera and the person dropped the ball. From that point on it was a nightmare. We cancelled the contract, or so we thought (and were told by the person at ADT). We have been lied to by many of the people at ADT. We decided to cancel our account since we were told we were month to month. Come to find out they did not cancel the contract and refuse to honor our cancellation. So now we are stuck with this company for 36 months. We asked at least 4 times to be contacted by a supervisor, that never happened. Never expect to have anyone follow up as they say. To be fair, there are people that we spoke with that were very helpful and pleasant, kudos to them for their Customer Service. I do not recommend ADT, do your research and find another company.

What an unbelievable disappointment. For some background information, I used to work for one of ADT's authorized equipment dealers about 6 years ago, so I thought I had some familiarity with the process. Boy, was I in for a surprise. For starters, in the first month we accidentally opened the door about 3 times with the system on, triggering the main alarm (not an entry delay). One time the alarm remained on for about 10 whole seconds. We never received a phone call. I let it slide thinking maybe we turned it off quickly enough. The real issue began when we got new windows about 2 1/2 months after getting our system installed. We had to remove our window sensors and proceeded to arm our system with the window sensors off, ensuring the magnet connection. One night, our alarm went off at 4 am awaking me, my wife and my kids.
It went on for about 2 minutes before I got downstairs to disarm it (baseball bat in hand) and saw on the app that the alarm was tripped by "Kitchen Window Tamper". The kitchen window was uninstalled at the time which I knew so I wasn't worried. ADT, however, did not know my sensors were down, and yet still they did not call. Later on when I called to report this issue, they told me that they don't call when they receive a tamper signal because "it could be a bird flying into the window". I said ya, or it could have been a criminal trying to break the window. I called about 5 times trying to reach a supervisor, was constantly promised a call back, never received one.
I asked to have a technician come out and hang my sensors up again, and they said it would be a $99 trip charge because my warranty only lasted 90 days. So I sat on it for 2 more months til I finally decided to bite the bullet and pay the $99 to have my sensors reinstalled since we are stuck paying for this we may as well call them. Just got off the phone with them and they told me that in addition to the $99 trip charge, the labor is $130 for the first 30 minutes and then $34 every 15 minutes after. So an hour's trip would cost me $300 just to have a guy come out and hang up 7 sensors. WHAT A RIPOFF. Wish I had done my homework beforehand and read some reviews. Don't make my mistake. Avoid ADT.

I should have realized from the time I signed up that this company is not consumer friendly. Upon activation they refused to send someone to activate the account. They had me on the phone for an hour going from window to window. If a service technician came to my home, it could have been activated in a fraction of the time.
After several months, and false alarms and devices not functioning properly (for example: one device, system said the battery was low. I replaced it. Still said it was low. I bought another one. Still getting the error message). I requested a service technician come out to fix the issues that were occurring since Day 1. They wanted to charge me a fee. I declined. Knowing that keeping a customer is not a priority, I canceled my account.
Unfortunately the contract I had signed was for a year. So they are charging me a hefty disconnection fee (which again did not require a technician to come to my home). Even so the system is faulty, they refused to waive the disconnection fee. While attempting to have them 'forgive' the early termination fee, I removed my credit card from their system. Days later they made an UNAUTHORIZED charge to my credit card (which has since been disputed).
Since they could not be trusted with my credit card, I mailed a check for partial payment. Their system uses ACH to cash checks, which means my bank does not get a canceled copy. I contacted them and requested I pay the balance due with a check ONLY if I get a copy back from my bank. ADT refused. As a result, I have an unpaid balance, which will remain unless they come up with a mutually agreeable way to make the final payment.

If I could give this company a ZERO I would. First of all, we were under a 3 year contract. When that contract ended, we called to ensure cancellation. They were insistent on our contract being cancelled. NOPE - got a statement 1 month later stating we owed $623.00 for a renewal. When called, not only did we get transferred 6 times we were told that we "verbally" signed a contract. Make THAT make sense "verbally signed" an agreement. When asked to provide that, we were told they could not provide a LEGAL binding contract that we supposedly signed.
Another month goes by, and I get another statement in the mail. I called, got transferred 5 more times to someone who said that they re-opened our contract under a relocation ... WE HAVE NOT MOVED. So instead of canceling, they took it upon themselves to reopen our "contract" under a verbal with a relocation. THAT IS TERRIBLE BUSINESS. Not only did we call to CANCEL and were told they would gave me a cancellation number, but when calling again they couldn't find a cancellation number. They told ME that my husband verbally agreed but then turned around tonight and said that I verbally agreed. They told us our insurance would go up if we did not have a security system in. They LIED and said that we both agreed to a verbal contract at which nobody can provide us. THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST COMPANY TO EVER HAVE AND WILL NEVER EVER BE RECOMMENDING THEM AGAIN.

ADT is far inferior to the Vivint system I replaced. Their customer service is sub par. New system is 2 weeks old and the front door lock and garage door sensor do not work.

Plus on top of it all there is a sub contractor that does the install which is probably why they don’t care how long it takes to resolve your issue. The salesman basically told me his hands are washed off it once it’s installed. “Call customer service” which seems to be useless.

The sales rep was very nice. Installation was easy, did a great job. I like that the ADT system gives you the information you would be looking for when you’ve invested into a security service. It gives me pictures and notifications of things that's going on. What I don't like is there’s a delay, like when there's someone at the door, there’s a delay, and the person has walked off, so I have to go back and look at it again. That kind of defeats the purpose. Sometimes there’s issues with picking up people. I've had incidents where thank God it was a friend or relative that came over, walked past the camera, and it never even showed up on my camera, no notification, no nothing, so that was a little disturbing. And I thought maybe it was the internet, so I've changed that just to see if it gets better. But maybe it's just the system and there is nothing they would be able to do, so I haven’t called ADT about that.
I did call a couple times because I was having issues with my back door and I didn't like the fact that they charged me $75 to come back out and fix it when the issue had been there since the beginning. And the guy, instead of him wanting to come out and fix anything, kept trying to troubleshoot it and have me do it. But I didn’t know anything about it, so I didn’t really know what he was asking me to do.

I had let that thing sit there screaming and hollering for several minutes, so I finally couldn't take that high beeping anymore and turned it off. I never received a call.
As soon as this contract is over, I’m dumping them. I basically got ripped off and lied to, and when I called ADT to let them know what that salesperson had done, I never heard back from them. I don’t have any use for this company at all.

ADT is a lousy service. I tried to cancel it right after I found out what was going on, and I was unable to do it. I don't even have it plugged in now. I signed up last year when I had people over to the house who were going to help us get some cheaper internet and TV because both my mom and I are low-income. They put together a package, which I thought was great, until I looked at it again the next day.
I was under the understanding that ADT was a benefit that was going to be given to us in addition to. Then I found out it was going to cost us about $45 a month. I immediately called, and the guy I spoke to said it was a Saturday, so he could not officially cancel the order. But since it was within 24 hours, he told me he could definitely cancel that. He said he would put a note in, and they would get a hold of me first thing Monday morning.
Nobody called. I tried for probably two months. I got in touch with somebody who could help, but I was told numerous times that they had to go through a supervisor. They said that they would take care of it, but nothing was ever taken care of. Now I’ve got it, and I don’t really know how to use it. All I hear is a Beep Beep when I open the door. When the power went out, it was making noise, so I unplugged it. When I plugged it back in, something was happening on it, so I just unplugged it, and I haven’t used it since.
As far as ADT itself, I think it’s great for people who can afford it, but it really puts a crimp in our finances. It was something we really couldn't afford, and now we're stuck with it. It's a three-year contract, and I still have another two years that I’m going to have to pay for.
The customer service has been horrible. I spoke to all kinds of people, and they referred me to somebody else. It was a company in Tucson that put it in, so people have told me I had to go through them. I went through them, and they said I had to go back to ADT, so I called them back again. I was told several times that they’ll take care of it and that they’ll get back to me, but nobody ever called.
Overall, dealing with the company has been horrible, and I've been told and led to believe something that never transpired, and nobody ever got back to me on it. I always had to wait and then call again to be told the same thing. I had to initiate all contact.

I'm not really happy with the service. One of the cameras keeps going out, probably because of Wi-Fi. I've also had many issues with the batteries dying early, and that’s basically been fixed. I haven't had an issue in a long time. But whenever the power goes out, it doesn’t seem to go back to the power source. It just runs on the battery, which dies, and I get this annoying beeping all the time.
I've had a lot of hassle with this service. When a problem happens, I do not like having to pay to have it fixed when it's not my fault. I’ve just been lazy about getting it cancelled and trying to find alternatives.
I initially went with ADT because they were already in the home. Getting a hold of someone when issues come up is no better or worse than expected. It’s not like it’s an easy thing, but I’ve experienced worse with other companies.

We’ve been with ADT for quite a while. And we had one excellent experience, where my wife set off the alarm by mistake, and I was out of town. And the cops were here in five minutes, and they took care of it.
And I like that it makes noise when you open the door. And every time we’ve called in for some minor issues, like numbers and so forth, it was taken care of right away. So, they’re there when you need them. And I’m always satisfied after talking to somebody at ADT.
And I like the signs they gave for the windows. So, a guy’s gotta be an idiot to walk in here because he’s not gonna have a lot of time to rob me. So, that’s what I like about the service. And I’m not gonna go with anybody else. And we are planning on moving in a couple of months, and I’ll be calling ADT again to get the move.

ADT set me up four years ago. And I wanted to pay off my equipment ahead of time, but they said I had to pay it off with the $8.50 a month until it was paid in full. And for some reason, it’s still not paid in full. And my fee went up just recently, but there was no explanation as to why it went up.
So, I’ve actually been thinking about calling them and canceling the service, and just keeping the carbon monoxide monitoring because I don’t feel like there’s any security. I don’t know what my actual security is. And they have done absolutely nothing since I received the equipment to be in touch with me, except for sending me my bill.
I used to have them when I lived in Derby, and any time the alarm went off, somebody called. But now, mine went off, and I don’t know if I actually even get calls. So, when it goes off, I just reset it. I may get a text saying, “Your alarm was reset.” That’s probably what it is. Because nowadays, texting is the big thing.
So, I don’t know what the difference between having ADT and having just a Ring camera outside of my house is. I don’t know what I’m paying extra for or what service is there that’s different than just having a Ring camera.

Initially, we went with ADT because a friend of ours who had them was happy with their service, and so we said that that’s what we’ll do. And so, we got them, and we’ve been with them for so long, and our experience with them has been fine.
And then something happened with the system, and a salesperson tried to convince us we needed to do a major update, and she gave us all of those numbers. But when the technician came out, he said that we didn't need to do any of those. He just told us that he needed to make some upgrades to our system right there, and that was taken care of. And the system has worked perfectly. So, the system was upgraded to the degree we needed it to be, and we were fine. And sometimes we’ve set it off ourselves, and it’s been fine to reconcile the problem.
The only thing I would like to have is to have three new signs, or however many I’m allowed to have. Because we’re in Florida, and we had three major hurricanes. So, the signs have been damaged. And I called the other day, and I was told I had to wait till after the first of the year, which I realized is in two days. So, that’s fine. But I guess I thought there would have been some consideration for customers who had been terribly affected by the storms.

I've been with ADT for years. I just spoke to a sales rep first and got hooked up. When I got the system, I also got a doorbell installed, but they never told me change the whole thing every once in a while. Because of that, I was without service for almost a year until they finally decided to give me a doorbell that works. Their customer service gave me the runaround when I was trying to get the battery and it took forever. They told me that it was my responsibility to get a new doorbell and I told them I was never told that it was a one-time thing with the doorbell. So I didn't accept that and just waited until they gave me a doorbell.

I have gotten some terrible service the last few months from ADT. I've had service with them for over 30 years with a wired service that worked beautifully. One of my keypads then started acting up and I called for them to come out. They told me that they had no parts for my system, so I spent over $3,000 to purchase a new system.
That system worked okay for the first few months. But during the last three to four months, I have not been able to get the keypad in my bedroom to work. ADT came out several times until changed it. Finally, they sent a senior service tech and he said that I was not getting enough energy and it won't ever work because of the signal and the frequency compared to the one that was in the den.
They said I could use the mobile app, which would cost $50 more every month, or the remote control. I chose the remote, but it acted like it didn't work unless I got right outside the walls into the hallway of my bedroom. So I called ADT back and forth and they would not let me use the phone app without paying.
I had also talked to my niece and nephew into getting a system and they could go through State Farm and get a discount and not pay for the mobile app on their phone. So I am very disgusted with ADT because I was not told that and I have State Farm. I'm still very upset with them.
ADT needs to take better care of their customers. I feel like I got taken advantage of. Another thing was every time I called them to try to get them out here, it would take two weeks in between four calls to get a service person out here. This has been a nightmare and I will not recommend ADT to anybody else.

I've only been staying with ADT because I don't know how to cancel it. My system is not working right now. When we had the hurricane, I lost power on the system and I didn't know how to reconnect everything. One of my cameras also flew off my house.
I had a couple of issues with my camera system before, but they sent me a new one and I did it myself, which was easy. They walked me right through it on the phone. The only time a technician came to the house was when they hooked everything up during the initial setup and they were super nice. But besides the basic package, I don't use any of the other stuff that I signed up for.

The ADT system was already installed in the house, so I decided to stay with them. The experience with the sales representatives and installation crew was great and the features of the service package were also good. I do have an issue with the pricing. When I had it serviced two years ago, I signed the contract for a certain amount of price. When the price went up, I called and they said that it was in the contract saying that the price could go up. But on the contract that I signed, the price is there, but they kept on adding different taxes to it. So I've been trying to get out of the contract, but they said I can't get out until my contract is up. If I could, I would leave ADT today.

I like the security of the ADT monitoring and they've been very responsive. Whenever I set it off by mistake or when there was a problem with the battery, they had somebody come out and fix it. They're a good company. It's fairly easy to get ahold of a representative, but the quality of customer service varies. Sometimes I've gotten people that aren't very friendly or responsive. But for the most part, their people are good. The ones that call back when the alarm goes off to check that everything is okay are always great. Their technicians have also been professional and efficient The price has been going up more recently, but it's a good value for what I pay.

I just started with ADT back in May. The sales representative was all right since they dealt with Google devices and stuff. But when I got the service, they constantly kept on billing me and I didn't understand why.
I do wish the technician had explained it to me more. He wasn't explaining a lot of the stuff to me like he was supposed to. But ADT hasn't been bad, but I haven't been out of town yet to turn my alarm system on and had the need to interact with it. I just know it's good to have.
Having the system also lowers the bill for homeowner's insurance and gives good rebates. I would like to change my camera in the backyard. I felt that he didn't put that camera in a good spot that it can show a good bit. Also, if I had a choice to deal with Google or Ring, I would go with Ring because it shows a wider view than Google.
