Our experience with them has been excellent. We had a couple of false alarms where we set the system off. We were able to reset it quickly without a hassle. The first time I set it off though, they called me and my wife could not remember the security word. So, I told the guy, "Look, I can tell you who I am. I could tell you everything you wanna know. But I can't tell you the security word." And so the sheriff came to the house. They double checked that nobody was in the house setting off the alarm.
Another time I couldn't reset it was when I had a fire in my toaster oven and the smoke alarm went off. Nobody called us and they just sent the fire department. The firemen took the toaster out of the house, brought in a big fan and got rid of all the excess smoke. Other than that, I have a great sense of security because I know that if somebody opens a door that I can't see, I'm gonna hear the tone. ADT is a great service.
We're so sorry to learn of the previous trouble with the alarm! Please don't hesitate to reach out to our team directly at 1-800-238-2727 if any future concerns occur. Our specialists are always here to help correct and address any concerns you may be experiencing.

ADT seemed to offer the best package closer to the items we wanted to have and the things we wanted to ensure were covered. The tech had to come out a couple of times. He was very professional and well organized. He was great at explaining things. The sales folks were equally good at doing sales jobs, explaining things as we were developing what we wanted to have.

There were a couple of incidents where the fire alarm was alarming in my absence due to smoke issue. Everything was normal but people don't know they were burning some incense and the smoke detectors were alarming. And a fire brigade came in. It was $52 every month for the ADT service and now, it is 62. I was wondering why they increased. But I'm highly satisfied with ADT’s package.

The installers were excellent. They came years ago and were here many hours. They stayed to make sure that we knew how to operate the panel and answered questions. They've come back out as well. Two years ago, we had a problem with our garage sensor and they swapped out the sensor. We've also accidentally set off the system twice, and as soon as it went off, I was on the phone with ADT to tell them that it was us. They're are always very responsive and take the time to walk us through things. When I have questions, they don't ever make me feel like I'm a pain. They're very patient and always excellent to deal with.

Contacting a rep takes a little bit of time on hold sometimes but other than that, it’s not too bad. I had one particular gentleman who was rude and when I hung up the phone, I was disgusted. But I was just out of luck. I had a window blind that fell out of the window after installation. The gentleman came back and informed my son that it wasn't his problem and that he didn't do it. It was gonna fall anyway. So, I ended up putting new blinds in. I feel secure since I’ve had the ADT system. Throw a couple of dogs in the mix and I'm okay.

ADT just sent me the parts and not the service tech. I replaced the doorbell and the chime and I've replaced the chime and it still doesn't seem to work like it should.

ADT is a good company. They installed eight cameras around my house and the app is not bad. I have a monitor and I watch everything too when I am in the house. The tech did a good job. He spent all day with us and did the installation camera by camera. When the salesman came, they had two different lenses that ADT sells. It's better to always do the lens that goes wider and farther. The salesman did not explain that. He said I didn't need it but I called ADT and they changed some of the lenses for me. The system was expensive but now, I am good to go. I picked my house but I did not pick my neighbors. I have bad neighbors. I am here most of the time. But when we go, the house is protected and I could see it.

We had a false activation and the police showed up. We were in bed and we had no clue. It showed ADT was set and they said it went off and we didn't respond, so they sent the police. ADT was still set and I had to take it off to open up the door for the police. They wanted to make sure that nothing happened to us. Everything is working and we have no problems with the ADT system. The experience has been excellent and I have no worries. I set it at night and go to bed and get up in the morning and disarm it. We're not planning on getting rid of it. But I was under the impression that when we first had it installed in this home, it was a three-year contract which was what we had in Las Vegas.

I had my truck broken into while I had the cameras on, but my cameras didn't pick anything up. The Ring across the street was the one that picked it up. It looked bright as day on the Ring. But my cameras didn't catch it not even the movement because it was so dark. Usually, it always picks up even the slightest motion. There have been a lot more times where I lived before where there were all kinds of people going through it and it was catching everything. They knew better than to ever come into my yard. I love ADT and would recommend it. It's the best I've ever had and it's good pricing as well.

I'm very happy with ADT. It's worth the money to me. I got my driveway watching both vehicles. I got the backyard, which is all fenced in.

I redid everything with ADT and their installer was a really nice guy. He had to put new stuff in and that took him an hour and a half.

He also gave me some tips on easy fixes. It was really good. He was very clean and tidy too.
Multiple times the system went off and ADT was very prompt in responding. Everything works out well. I'm just very satisfied with their product and service. They're dependable and if there's something wrong, I know about it very quickly. If I have something, I call and they answer it over the phone. Everything else has been top-notch.

ADT has been very quick in action and very prompt. I like it that way. And the system is also good. Any issues, they were on it. They are well-trained. The system's features are very good. Only one drawback is if I need to upgrade my system, they would cost a lot because the whole system for example in my house, I have wireless motion detectors, some kind of plugs also. That's all integrated with the system. If I want to upgrade to a new system, what I spend like $1,000 is there would be no backward compatibility. And if they could say, "You were 15 years. We'll replace those things with free of cost or maybe you can share some cost." I'm okay like that. So, we're stuck with that old system only. The new system is very good and fast. We want to add up more. But I have to give up more than $1,000 on other things like that. Other than that, management-wise, they take care of things. I got a couple of times false alarms, but they acted very quickly. I love it.

I'm very pleased with ADT. Every time there's some little issue that is usually caused by me, I call the service number and I get a very helpful person on the other end. They offer to send somebody out, which I'm actually going to do here in another month or so because I messed the system up. The battery went out and I didn't get it put together right again. ADT offered to come out and put the battery in for me but I figured I could do that but I couldn't. At the moment, it's not connected.
So far, the only alarm I had go off was the battery needing replacement and it went off about 3:00 in the morning. I had to come trotting down and try to figure out how to disconnect it. I specifically wanted the lady that was on the other end that I talked to to tell me how to disconnect everything so that the system wouldn't go off in the middle of the night. She did that and she encouraged me to call them back and have somebody come out and put it all back together again. It'll be January before I get that done. I have an option and I'm gonna take that option because ADT has very friendly people.
With ADT, it feels better that nobody's gonna be able to break in while we're gone. Also, we have the smoke system and the fire alarm system. We have both, which is nice because if anything catches fire and starts smoking and we're not home, that'll take care of it. If we're off on a trip somewhere, the house could burn down and we wouldn't even know there was a fire. We're a whole lot happier. ADT is great and I wouldn't consider getting another service.

I've had to call one time because I've noticed something on my cameras in my yard that was wrong and were not able to do that ourselves. My gate was open and my dogs weren't in the backyard. It was crystal clear. When there's movement within the camera, it sends us a message on our phones. And when the gate opened, it sent us a message and we were able to see that they had left the yard.

My grievance revolves around the misrepresentation of information regarding the transferability of my security system equipment upon relocating to a new residence. I engaged ADT's services by purchasing security equipment valued at approximately $1,000. During the sales process, I was explicitly informed that I would own the purchased equipment, and in the event of relocating to a new home, I could seamlessly transfer the security system to the new location. The assurance provided by the ADT representative was a significant factor in my decision to invest in their services. However, when I recently attempted to exercise this supposed ownership privilege and transfer my equipment to my new residence, I encountered a starkly different reality. Upon calling ADT customer service to arrange for the relocation of my security system, I was met with a frustrating and disheartening series of events.
Firstly, I was informed that I would need to purchase an entirely new set of equipment for my new home, contradicting the initial assurance that I owned the equipment and could transfer it. This inconsistency not only violates the terms of our agreement but also puts into question the integrity of the information provided during the sales process.
Adding to my dismay, I spent an exasperating hour on the phone with ADT customer service, enduring a series of transfers to different employees. Regrettably, none of these representatives could provide a satisfactory resolution to my predicament. Moreover, when I requested to speak with a manager to escalate the matter, I was informed that no managerial personnel were available at the time.
This runaround and lack of access to higher management have left me feeling not only betrayed but also severely inconvenienced and stressed. Moving is already a challenging process, and ADT's failure to uphold the commitment made during the initial purchase has significantly exacerbated the difficulties I am facing.
In light of these circumstances, I am seeking your intervention to address this matter and ensure that ADT rectifies the situation promptly. I believe that as a consumer who relied on the information provided by ADT, I am entitled to the promised benefit of owning and transferring my security equipment without being subjected to additional, unanticipated costs. I hope this complaint serves as a cautionary note to prevent similar occurrences for other consumers who trust ADT's representations.
Cecilia- We're so very sorry to learn of your frustration with your relocation. So we may best review the terms of your agreement and relocation options with you we would ask you to email our team at alwaysthere@adt.com with a reference to your concern and your service address/telephone number.

STAY AWAY from ADT. Worst company that I ever delt with. Their monitoring system sucks. Consumer relations sucks. I have been paying this system for 5 years. This is my worst investments. I had countless system failures and alarms. They never called. The worst, I have been trying to cancel for the past 6 months. Finally they did and told me that since I am just asking to cancel they will not reimburse the few months that I stopped paying. To make matters worst, I paid the equipment off since June. A tech came to my house to troubleshoot the system, and told me that I have to upgrade to their new wireless system. It is all about money. They are blaming me that I did not get the right department, when they are the ones who were transferring me from departments to departments. Yet, they see all the notes of my calls for the last year asking to be cancelled. It is all about Money, they do not care about the consumer. Find another company. Trust me.

I had to sell the house. I called ADT and canceled the service. I paid the balance of what was owed on it at the time. I had another $19 come out of my account in the last two or three days.

I didn't have any problems with it. It gives you a sense of security and the ease of use of it is just amazing. The guy who installed it was good and always answered questions for me.
Hi Catherine. We apologize for this concern. When you reached out to cancel in October, ADT requires 30 days notice for all cancellations. $17.99 was for coverage for 11/1-11/10. In addition to this your contract did not end until 1/31/24, so a final bill of $106.76 was also taken.

I was paying $35 a month when it was Brink's and when ADT switched over, they told me if I could lock myself in with a five-year contract without going anywhere, they could lower the rate to $25.35 a month. I did that for five years. I just called back a month or two ago and locked myself in for another five years at the same price. I'm very happy with the company. They seem that their quality is Brink's quality that we had before. We've never had any problems. Any time I had an issue with the battery for the main system, they sent me one. I was grandfathered in with paying type of insurance for parts down when I had Brinks, and they went ahead and sent me a new battery at the beginning of this year with no charge.

ADT was running a special for seniors that I decided to try them. The original installation people were great. But their prices to come out to do it are ridiculous. My system wasn't working, and I've had it for five years. I changed phone companies and so the system was disconnected from the phone line. When I called ADT to fix it, they wanted $245 just to come out. Then it was $75 per 15 minutes that they were here. So I told them, “Just cancel the service. I don't want it anymore then., I can't pay that. I'm 73 years old. I don't have that kind of money.” They transfered me to somebody who could fix it and they agreed to come out at no charge. They also offered me a lower rate for 12 months.
When the service guy came, he did a good job, but he didn't have enough batteries to do everything. So he had to make a second trip. They told me that the balance of the bill would have been around $400 for all the charges to fix it. But I didn't pay any of that. They waived all that, but they scare you to death with things like that. It’s wrong.
Hello Linda- We're sorry to hear of your frustrating experience! We do see that ADT was out to the residence in October and corrected your system issues at no cost due to your tenure as an ADT family member. We can also assure you as per you conversation with the ADT Account Management Team your rate has been adjusted to $30.78 prior to applicable taxes.

I like being able to view the cameras and I can set the alarm, disable the alarm, and do everything from away. Also, it's very easy to get in contact with someone. Since having the system, I feel very secure at night when I go to bed that if anything happens, I'm gonna be notified right away.

The ADT representatives help me very well. The system functions fairly. I can send messages on my phone as far as if something’s burning in the house. When I'm cooking something and the smoke alarm goes off, they'll send me a text and ask me if I'm okay. I like the doorbell. It can tell me who's coming in front or the back door.

I purchased an expensive hardwired outdoor camera system from ADT which they told me would notify me if someone came into my yard. What they didn’t tell me was that it would also notify me if a bug flew past the camera, leaves moved, snow flew – I receive over 40 notifications in a 12 hour period. Within weeks of getting the service I called to explain the problem (which they acknowledge that they have documentation of the complaint) and ADT started sending out techs. The techs did not know how to work with these particular cameras and had to call Tech Support. They would tell me they changed the settings, and I should just play with the cameras until I got the notifications the way I wanted. It never changed so I would call back and start all over.
Finally, a tech supervisor gave me his cell number and came out several times trying to fix the problem – it never got fixed and he no longer works at ADT. So once again I started all over calling, having techs come out, play with the settings, etc. Just recently I was told that the camera system would never work the way it was sold to me and at the time the hardwired cameras ADT sold didn’t provide what I requested so they just sold me what they had. ADT solution was now I should purchase new cameras.
The departments don’t work together so if someone helps you and they end what they can do, they provide you with another number to call (they won’t call that department and have them call you because they don’t work together) and you have to start all over. So I am stuck with an expensive system that doesn’t work like they promised and a company that is not cohesive and, although always polite, have no concern about the incorrect information that has been given out and won’t escalate the problem.

ADT is wonderful. I did a few unfortunate or embarrassing false alarms and they've always been very gracious. Any question we've ever had, we've been very satisfied. The battery pack that operates the system died. I spoke with two different people to figure out what was wrong. I didn't quite understand where the battery was. So I ended up having to call a second time and get somebody to talk me through it. This guy was very helpful, told me how to take the thing apart and go find a new battery. I put it in myself.

I've had ADT before when I lived in California. I decided to go with them again. They're a little on the pricey side, but it's worth it to get all the security I need. My experience with their reps has always been positive. Brian the installer was awesome. He gave us his card and he said if I needed anything to call him. We have called him a couple of times and he told us to call ADT. Everything's been rectified. But I had an issue. I called them up recently and I hope to get it resolved. There is a spot that is not covered in my home security system and I need to get that taken care of. Because my ex-roommate found a way to get in and out of the house without me knowing that they were going in and out of the house. They no longer live there, so it makes me a little worried. But it was a good experience, overall. Everything worked out fine. I still have ADT and I'll have it for as long as I can afford it.

I have ADT in my cottage up in Isabella County and I also have it here in my home in Clinton County. I've had good results with it. When the sump pump failed and the detector did not work, they handled it very well for me. I was satisfied. I was a little perturbed that the detector failed to work. But the person that put it in, put the battery in the wrong area, where it was subject to cold weather and it depleted the battery. We didn't know it. But they handled it very respectfully. ADT did their job well. They've supported us when we’ve needed it. The only thing is that there had been a couple of times up north where I've needed them and because they were shorthanded, it took longer than I liked to get service.

We have ADT in Ohio and I owned a restaurant company that we used ADT from a commercial side as well. So we've got a lot of familiarity with the ADT product. The installation guys have been great. We've had several times to do some upgrades. So we've been very fortunate. We had one disappointing experience. The gentleman didn't understand the problem. But besides that, it's been very good.
The ADT app gives us everything we need to monitor the house because we're gone six months a year. So it's nice to have that security and be able to check out the house while we're gone. But the app has a security feature where you gotta log in each time. Besides that, there has been no inconvenience. ADT has been very responsive. You can always chat with somebody. You could schedule service appointments online. You can also follow up, and track your service provider and your installation guy online. So ADT made it very user-friendly for the most part. The customer service has been great. They're easy to talk to and get ahold of.

I've had ADT securing my houses off and on for almost 30 years. When I bought the house I'm in now, I brought up that I wanted certain windows set up a certain way. The rep said it was no problem and they would have a guy come out and review that first. He didn't do any quotes or anything like that until he had his technician come out, which I thought was pretty cool. Also, the installers were excellent and outstanding guys. They did everything that they were supposed to do. Some of the stuff required drilling holes in the wall and they forewarned me that it was gonna get dirty but they were very careful about things and they cleaned everything up.
There was a concern with one of the installations of the motion sensor because of how it was gonna be mounted. We had two options on how to do it -- one is better long-term but it looks ugly and the other looks nice but it's not on a good base. I told them to give me the long-term one and then they said they prefer to do that but that they were not supposed to tell me that. They gave me the options and let me choose. It was good that they did that.
Whenever I've had an alarm issue, they've called me within seconds and said, "Hey, this so and so alarm went off. We have to verify it's you. What's your passcode?" They do everything they're supposed to and then resolve the situation quickly if it's simple. In one case, we called the fire department just to make sure that something was okay. They handle everything beautifully and they're an outstanding company with outstanding customer service.

Get ADT because it works. The total package is good, and the price was reasonable. I've had ADT since 2011 and they've always abided by my needs and help me with this. I've also got it for my son and daughter, and my daughter still has hers and she has added on, too. I have the home monitoring system, and I've had the Ring doorbell for two years. My inside monitoring automatically kicks in, and the Ring doorbell is good as long as it stays online. So if the Wi-Fi went out, the doorbell would too. That happened to me one time because my sensor on my car got stolen, I had the Ring but my Wi-Fi was out of something. The car was parked in front of the house, but we never saw who did it because the Wi-Fi was out.
ADT has been very helpful with me and prompt. One time my doorbell would not work. The guy was able to guide me through it over the phone with a video view and tell me what to do with the doorbell so it would start back working. And once he guided me through it, it started back working. They didn't have to come out. I just had to be available for the phone call.
I didn't know my alarm went off one time. ADT called because I was in my bedroom with the door shut. I didn't hear the alarm going off, but I was asleep too. And when I answered the phone, it was, "Your alarm is going off." And when I opened the door, I could hear it. And come to find out, my nephew had opened the door in the basement because he didn't know the alarm was on. So that helped me to understand, if you go down there, you better not touch that door.

ADT sent me a battery for my keypad. I didn't know how to get the battery out and that was a pain in the butt. But I was able to do it. They would charge me money to send somebody out to fix a battery. I've had a security monitor with ADT for 28 years. I thought they should have done it as a free service. My keypad still isn't working right because the trouble light is always lit on the panel, but it seems to work.

Some things that are antiquated need to be changed. Other than that, the system is working and its okay. When I call the service people to help me, they do a fantastic job.

I've been with ADT at my previous house. I was in it for 13 years. I've been with them for over 35 years if I count both houses. My interaction with their reps has always been positive. If they have a new product, they just present it in a clear and lucid way. Then I make a decision whether or not I wanna buy the product. The system works great. It's one of the more basic systems, and it works every time. If I have any problems with the system, I usually call ADT to be preemptive and try to get them to take corrective action, and they usually do. I like that you can set the alarm. The inside, outside option, while you're in the house. If you want to roam around the house, you can. Then set it when you leave the house, so if any roaming takes place, they'll pick it up. I also have a glass break. All the doors are appropriately wired, so our sense of security is very good. I would highly recommend ADT.

ADT gave me a good rate. We've been with them for a long time. But after a year, they raised the rate. I called them back and they never raised it again. They lowered it back to the old rate and I still pay that. I have no problem with them. They're good. I've talked to them on numerous times when we had a battery problem. We had a power failure and then the battery would kick in. After a while, the battery would go dead because it only has so much. Then it would take a long time to charge up. We got a new battery but I had to pay for it. But, that's what it is. I like that they're easy to get ahold of and they answer the phone. Since having the system in our home, I feel confident.

The signup experience was excellent. It assured me that they knew what they were doing. Every time I've contacted ADT, I've gotten a rapid response. The last time though, I had a battery failure notice and I talked to 12 different people over three months to get it figured out. Over that time, I had purchased a ton of batteries. I finally found the right batteries but when I opened the device and closed it up again, it worked. I didn't even have to put the battery in. So, the device had gotten knocked off wonky.
I miss the fact that people would come to the house 'cause a technician would've figured that out months before. It's hard to solve problems online, especially when somebody like me never sees these devices and doesn't recognize that it has been knocked off about half an inch from the door. Also, we stopped setting the alarms at night a year ago because our dog kept wanting out and it was a big pain. I contacted ADT at the time and said, "We're gonna just not have the service anymore 'cause the only thing we're using is the smoke alarm, which I love. "And they said, "Oh, we'll give you a lower price because you're not using it and you always did the work." Other than that, the system has given me peace of mind. As I get older, it fills the gap of not being able to hear and see things on my own all the time.

ADT has been very good. I just have one problem. They've sent techs out over the years and they can't seem to get my front door right. I can set my alarm outside after I've already closed the door, and it's fine but if I try to set it on the unit itself and then come out of the house and shut the door, then the alarm starts within 10 minutes and here comes the police.
The first tech said he thought it was the motherboard, but nothing ever happened with it. It's still here. They did not change the system. He said he didn't have the system with him, and that was the last I heard of that. Another one came and said it was the sensor on the door. They changed the sensor on the door, which didn't make any difference. Then the third one came and he said, "I'm gonna change where it's positioned on the door." So, he changed where it was positioned and it still doesn't make any difference. It's weird. You cannot set it off of the box in the house. I can set to stay in the house, but I cannot shut that front door and go out after I've set it.
I'm satisfied with ADT because they've really worked with me. I'm old. I'm on Social Security. If it gets too high and I can't afford them, they always give me a deal to have coverage that I can't refuse. They're great there, but there's just something about this system that don't work really well. Overall, I feel safe. If I'm staying in the house and going to bed, I can set it. If I leave, as long as I got my phone, I can set it outside.

When I was in need of a security system, I thought that ADT would be a good company that I could go to. I wasn't satisfied with the experience with my previous monitoring company, and I decided to give ADT a try. Since I've been with them, I'm 100% satisfied with the way they conduct their monitoring. I like the equipment that I had installed with the cameras and the keypad. I like the way the system works.
I've had just a few issues with the camera going offline and we handled that over the phone. They walked me through how to get the camera back online. I'm comfortable with it because I'm mechanically inclined and I can follow instructions that they gave me to get it to work. If the same thing happens again, you still have to contact them so they can do some things on their end to get the camera reset and everything. Anytime I've contacted them, I've always had the issue resolved and they always answer my question.
I'm confident that ADT is a good system and it works well for me. One thing that I like about it is even when I'm away from home, I can go to the app and monitor my cameras. I like that I get an alert if something goes wrong or if there's an intruder on my property, I can just take a look at it. Also, if somebody's at my doorbell, I can speak to that person through that. When I'm away from home and if somebody rings my doorbell, then I get an alert. It brings up the person and the camera will focus and I can see who it is. If I wanna review the past or any incident, when the camera picks up anything, I can go back and review it. I like that part of it.

But they reduced the billing because of that. Twelve years ago, ADT didn't realize that my house had been breached.

My wife has dementia leading to Alzheimer's. I wanted an alarm to both reassure her that nobody's getting in at night and I wanted to make sure that I could tell when she left the house.

He mentioned the medical alert system. I said, “Ooh, that sounds very, very good.” Because I am going to be 80 years old in May and my wife is 77, and there is a possibility that we may need the medical alert at some point.

The contract requirements were not explained to me at any time even though I asked clear and concise questions. I didn’t want my credit card used and was told it was for holding/insurance but it was used. l ($101.00). I was told the cc payment was removed but it was not. I didn’t ask for monthly auto deductions with my cc but they were added to the contract without my permission or knowledge. The install price was increased $60.00 without my knowledge. Multiple contract revisions were sent to me and then unacknowledged internally. I didn’t want financing but it was referenced as being in my contract several days later. I haven’t ironed out all the kinks, now several hours later and several interactions. I’ve written to the president. I’m disgusted.

***I submitted a complaint on 10/20/2023 and no one has attempted to contact me.*** I purchased my house through DR Horton and moved in in July 2022. Prior to that, I spoke to Safe Haven (who I was told was affiliated with ADT) and DR Horton had a promotion that capped my monthly cost at $49.99 for the duration of my contract term. I was also informed that through the promotion with DR Horton, I could cancel my ADT service at any time without penalty. The agent that I spoke to verbally in May/June 2022 and installation tech that visited my home in July 2022 consistently informed me my price was fixed and I faced no termination penalty.
Fast forward a couple of months, my system doesn't work adequately. I contact ADT to cancel but they send a tech out to fix my faulty equipment. At no time was I informed that this was a Safe Haven tech, not an ADT representative. He again said that I could cancel without penalty (section 4 of the terms of service would not apply) and that my price would remain constant although my equipment was faulty. He still didn't fully remedy the issue. As time went on, my issues persisted but I elected to keep the service for a year. ADT's customer service is terrible and not resourceful. I have to pay to have a tech come to my home to review their equipment that hasn't worked since install.
Today, on 10/20/2023, I found out that I was dealing with Safe Haven, not ADT this entire time. ADT sent me an email in June 2023 informing me of a price increase which was inconsistent with what I was told at enrollment. I did not agree to receive contractual communications by email. I am outside of the 30 day cancelation request window. I want ADT to release me from this headache of a contract immediately. I'm paying for a system that doesn't work after completing numerous troubleshooting steps. I do not want it. Their service is terrible all around. You have to wait 40 minutes to speak to someone, only to be told that they have to transfer you again. This decision was terrible. Release me without penalty!

So far, it's been good with ADT. They are always informative. The installation team walked me through to get my camera set up for my front door. We did it over the phone. Their panel is right there at the door and we can see the person at the door. I've seen on my phone that they have a new camera for the door but they didn't have it at the time. I also need to call in to get another sign because our sign got torn down due to bad weather.

ADT has always been very receptive. They treat me very well. We had to update some things and they came and updated the equipment. They realized that I was a long-time customer, and they took care of it right away. I explained what was going wrong and they knew exactly what to do. They went through some of my older sensors and corrected something that I hadn't even talked to them about. The lady on the phone was terrific. She was so well-informed. I was very lucky.
Thank you for sharing such positive feedback about ADT! We're thrilled to hear that our team has provided you with exceptional service. Your trust as a long-time customer is truly valued.

The installation team was great. They were friendly and knowledgeable. They let me know where I needed to have coverage for what windows and where I didn't have to worry about it. It made me feel involved and included and that I wasn't just gonna get everything covered and have to pay a higher bill. They gave me all the options. They've also always been very helpful and they resolved any issues I've had quickly and efficiently. Recently, I had to replace my key fob because I lost it and they were very helpful. Whenever the door has been opened, I get a call and they've handled it and have the police go. I feel safe and I will not get rid of them. So far, it's been 12 years and it's been great.
Hi Cheryl, We are happy to hear the install ion went great. We appreciated you taking the time to write a review.

A rep explained everything to us. It was $300 to get started and that included sensors for doors and the windows. It also included an alarm system that would ring very loudly. The installer was terrific and he answered every one of my questions. ADT is an excellent company. We've had reactions from them when people have come to the front door. They have called the number here and notified us when there has been a problem.

We got ADT for this house 23 years ago. At some point, we had a break-in and part of the reason was the installer did something so that part of the house wasn't monitored. And we had to make an insurance claim. And our insurance weighed us. So, we ended up paying for the break-in. Many years later, the prices kept going up. So, we decided to try and switch. I called ADT to tell them and they said, "Don't do that." And I had the most wonderful person. I had tried for years to get people to help me regarding that break-in and nothing happened. And I got this one woman and she understood that we had to spend a lot of our own money for the break-in.
She was very responsive, had enough authority to authorize us getting a revamp. And we were so happy because this is a two-story house and we were able to add on a monitor where when you come in the house and you turn it on and off at our lower level, which enormously helped our old age situation. It was wonderful. She had somebody come out and give us a new upgraded system, which would normally have cost a fair amount of money. And we got some things that were much better. We got an extra door monitored and these other things. And since then, they've been great.
We're retired, on a very fixed income, with everything going off every five minutes, and whenever it comes time to renew, I would call them up and talk to the people and they keep my bill stable so that it would not go up every year. So, they're helping the elderly, at least this elderly person anyway. So, we had a bad incident in the beginning, but they redeemed themselves after that. We're very satisfied with them. They rectified the problem in spate. So, they were very responsive.

I was manipulated and lied to by multiple ADT employees: My experience began when I was signing up for a contract and was told over the phone by the sales rep that it would be 2 years. I agreed to it because I knew I would be in the house with the system for exactly 2 years. When I went to cancel the system 2 years later, I was told the contract was actually a 3 year contract and I had fines to pay if I wanted to cancel early. I was frustrated, but couldn’t deny the contract.
The person I was communicating with on the day I was trying to cancel told me that there was a cheaper option than paying the fines: sign a new contract starting at my new location that was month by month. I was told I would have to pay for 2-3 months, then I could pay off the new equipment and cancel my contract. I was told by the rep that this would still cost money, but be less expensive than the fees associated with canceling my initial contract. We emailed about this understanding. Fast forward to now.
1) Despite my old contract being void because I had signed a new contract, I was wrongly charged the fines for canceling the old contract (500$). I only noticed this fine because I was checking my credit statement, I received no notification. When I called to inquire about this and receive a refund for this wrong charge, I was routed to the wrong number SIX TIMES. I was provided with six completely different numbers from adt customer service reps to get me in touch with adt pro and every time they answered my call, it was an adt plus representative who would provide me with yet another incorrect number. I was on the phone for 2 hours before I finally was able to get ahold of someone who could refund me.
2) After 3 months of paying for this new contract and all the hassle of getting my refund, I called to cancel my account and be done with adt. I was told that what I had been led to believe was a monthly contract was actually a 3 year contract and that the fines would be 1000$ if I canceled. I told the account manager that I had been lied to, that I never would have signed this contract had I known and that I would have simply paid the fines on the old contract, and that I wanted to speak to someone who could get me out of this contract. I was told that it would be passed to a supervisor and that I’d receive a call the following Monday… I never received a call. When I called on Tuesday, I was told that this account manager had never passed along anything and that there is no escalation process. I had been lied to again.
It wasn’t until I mentioned email proof of this misleading that I was told there would be an investigation and I was treated differently. Even still, I was told there is likely no solution. I do not understand how it is legal to purposefully misinform a consumer and convince them to get into another contract under false pretenses. My fury cannot be put into words and the customer service has been horrendous. I would never recommend entering a contract with adt or trust anything that their salesperson tell you.
Good Afternoon Kayla- We're so very sorry to hear of the frustration you've experienced as an ADT family member.

Our team would be happy to review the terms of your agreement and your concerns with you further if you could please email our team at alwaysthere@adt.com along with a reference to your concern and the full address/telephone number of the location.
