    Normally, my experience with ADT has been wonderful. But the most frustrating part was every time I asked to speak to a human representative, because I knew what I was describing was not totally being understood, although your AI is very good, it did not let me speak to a human. That really needs to be improved. I had a problem with changing a battery and beeping not stopping. We got that to happen. But I changed the battery but couldn't get that message across through the AI recording. It was very frustrating. But in the end, it all worked out. Because we're very happy with ADT, as a suggestion, if a customer asked to speak to a human representative, they’ve got to let them do that.

    We've used ADT for several years in several of our homes. In our most recent home of 9 years, we had a 2 acre property that had a front gated entrance and a back gated entrance. In addition, there were 9 gates total on the property. My main issue is with their ADT yard signs. They do not "wear" well in that the blue ADT part of the sign cracks and breaks easily due to weather, time, etc. I called to ask for replacement signs and I was told several times, no matter what, that they will only provide 2 signs per property, per year. I told ADT I would be happy to pay for additional signs for my large property. They were adamant that only 2 signs could be sent per property, per year, no matter the size and that other signs were not available for purchase. I thought it was the dumbest thing I had ever heard.

    ADT should base the signage availability on the size of the property. Two signs were not nearly adequate on my property AND they break/crack constantly!! I just sold my large property and moved to a new one. Signage is not an issue at my new home, but because I thought ADT was so ridiculous and inflexible about signage at my last home, I am NOT choosing them to alarm my new home. They need better customer service in that regard. They have lost a long time customer over a stupid issue.

    ADT did not honor price quotes given by the retention department. Discovered our system was not connected and was not being monitored! Monthly charges kept escalating while first generation equipment was outdated. The "manager on the phone" during installation on 6/18/26 was extremely rude and condescending and demanded we sign a contract even though the previously quoted lower price was not on the contract. The contract he sent us didn't have our name on it...it was in the name of Sally Griffith at our address and she has never lived here nor do we know who she is. The tech here at our home was fantastic! She was the only good thing!!! He told her to leave without install. We have been with ADT for 18 years and we are now highly disappointed with their customer treatment and their system of "monitoring".

Today at 1:13 am, smoke detector went off with no reason. Fire Dept. came again for nothing. ADT has no explanation.

    Everybody in this area uses ADT. I know some people that use ADT as well, and they're pretty good. I signed up in February and they handled their business quickly. They were professional when the person came and installed it, and they were helpful and showed me how to maneuver the system. So far, so good. Compared to when I had a security system when I lived out of state over 20 years ago, the price is pretty good with the cost of living. I'm just wondering if ADT does senior discounts.

    We've had the ADT system for 15 years and the only issue we've had was when the batteries go dead. We paid extra for the most expensive plan to cover batteries and the rep was not real helpful. Every time you call for batteries, they kind of question it, not knowing that you purchased a plan for batteries. But then, when you get to a different person, they go, "Oh, yeah. Absolutely." Then they send batteries without a problem.

    ADT has been responsive. I’ve been with them for 20 years now, and when I've needed services, they are prompt in providing those services. And their technicians are all very good. I had my system updated recently. I dealt with a representative and a technician, and the technician was excellent. He gave me a window of time when he'd be here. He updated me during that window to give me a more specific time and was personable and did a good job.

    We had a false alarm just last weekend, which they called me on, and they were helpful and sent out security. I was able to interact with them with my Nest camera. I was not at home at the time, but we got it taken care of. My experience with them has all been positive, which is the reason why I've stayed with them and not entertained another security service. Their sales reps were also not overly aggressive, which I appreciate. They didn't try to oversell. I would recommend ADT to anyone who’s looking for a security provider.

    Terrible experience. The techs came in and installed carbon monoxide detectors next to the builder carbon monoxide detectors. I called to get them removed and got the run around. Finally a tech came out and ripped the detectors out leaving holes in my Sheetrock in every single room. They told me that I need to patch their mess up. I called my local region manager and got hung up on, wouldn’t take my calls and wouldn’t return calls. Then fast forward a year and they send us a bill for $200 and after an hour on the phone, they found out it was their mistake. How do companies like this stay in business. Do Not Use ADT!!!

    ADT has been there 100%, no matter what happens. When I called them a couple of times, it was very easy. They told me how to change the battery, explained it technically how to do that, which was easy. Sometimes, the cameras have a loss in different areas. I don't know if it's just networking at times, but I know some cameras, with extreme cold, with the front door camera, I notice would go down a bit. But I work with it on the network and get it to go back up. The good thing is it always keeps recording, even if it goes offline. ADT is efficient.

    There's a technician that I love. His name is Anthony, who installed everything for me. I have his number. If I needed some work done, I don't know if ADT would get him over here again. They did for me one time. I called up and gave me his numbers, and he came over and serviced my house. Everything has been working good. I love being notified about everything. It's easy to deal with. There's no thinking involved. It tells you where the battery is.

    When I needed to put a new battery in one time, the unit fell out, and I had to have somebody come in and fix it. Then one other time, the battery was going off up in the ceiling, and we had no idea what it was, because when ADT put it in and when it was built, nobody explained to us where it was. So, we were just going crazy. Finally, I was able to walk my phone around and show them the picture up on the ceiling, and they said that was it. So, my husband got a ladder out and went up. We had no idea that there was a battery in there. The crazy part is that battery has been in there since we got it, and this just happened last summer. Other than that, everything was fine. ADT has always taken care of any problem I've had. They've been quick to respond.

    I had a previous service but that service was being sold and ADT was taking it over. I have ADT for about four years now and so far, I feel good about the features of the package that I have with them, except for my outdoor camera. It malfunctions every time I turn around and I have to call about it. But whatever is done doesn't last very long. So, I'm not pleased with the outdoor camera service. Then for some reason, I don't really know why it's not functioning the way it should. It's always saying I got to troubleshoot it or try again and it's not a very accessible or feasible system for me.

    I've never had a problem with ADT. I love them. Thank God for the app's green dot saying, “This device” or, “Forget it” because it would always have mine and my husband's name. Now, it has my name with the green dot. That might have been something I did wrong, but in the past, I found iPhone with no name, and I always name it. And it's not just ADT's app, others, too, and other stuff with my phone.

    When you slide somebody off, underneath, it would say "Trusted.” Does that mean they're still there and trusted? Because it would just say “iPhone,” and I never do that. I put my husband's name, my name and our phone. I never put that in there. There would be two of them, one of them is the Android. I don't have any of that in my house. My husband and I are retired. So, it's a little disturbing. I still haven't gotten to the bottom of it, but I will. They're super nice, and told me that the trusted takes them off when you slide off. It has my device with the green dot, and my name. Instead of Dawn's iPhone, it says “D iPhone,” and my phone number, and Nick is gone. I don't know how that changed. It's hard to talk to somebody. With the automated and AI, sometimes it's hard. They give the options, but those are note the ones I want. Other than that, I'm happy.

    I get texts to go through the app and make sure everything's on the up and up. Also, I've had ADT come out a couple of times and upgrade. We got a new panel and sensors. The guy was excellent. He showed me the little trick. I didn't know it takes your picture when you set the alarm. He stood to the side and turned around as I put the code in. And he said, “Now, duck down to do it.” He showed me. I didn't even know. I never go through the whole thing. Now, I've been all through everything of my phone. He was wonderful.

    This hard-to-believe review is primarily based on my experience with customer service, and secondarily about a reliability problem. On 5/19/2026 I ordered an ADT+ system--upgrading from an obsolete ADT Blue (originally an "InGrid" system). Digitally signed a contract. Payment via AMEX--posted. Next day called to ask whether I could add an additional sensor--I could but was told my order was cancelled! (Never understood why.) So I ordered the system again and was given a discount for the hassle. Original charge was refunded--great. So... several days later received a large box containing everything I ordered--great. Installed it myself. Within a few days received another large box containing a duplicate system! Also, was charged a SECOND monthly fee. So contacted ADT and they issued a return Fedex label, and I think "credited" the double monthly charge. Drove 10 miles to drop off the large box.

    Started getting "broadband / wifi drop" error messages from base right after I installed the system. Two-three times a day lasting an hour+ each time. Contacted ADT. I tried everything to ensure that it wasn't a signal problem. Limited to 2.4 bandwidth, reset base, verified signal strength, etc. Was assigned a remote tech support person who VERIFIED base had/has a problem. Called to order a replacement. After several calls a replacement was ordered. (Note this was escalated to "management" who never contacted me). A week later I received a ADT BLUE base, not ADT+ base. Called again and they issued a return label, and ordered a new replacement base. A week later I received a Google Nest Hub. Not the ADT+ base.

    Called again. Rep escalated to management and promised it would be resolved within 24-48 hours. Three days later I called again, and threatened to cancel service if not resolved. They issued a return Fedex label (I now have two bases that have to be returned). Yesterday received an "order" for the hopefully correct base, but no shipment info. It's now about ONE MONTH and still getting error messages 2-3 times a day. Don't trust system is working right since the base looses internet connectivity. (For what it's worth, the base also has a very "tinny" sound like something is internally loose.)

    ADT management needs to look into this. ADT personnel are NOT performing as they should. My calls were recorded, I have at least 2 case numbers. I've spent HOURS on the phone and this is still not resolved. Once I receive the correct base I will have to reinstall all the sensors--a couple more hours of work. Never received an apology or an acknowledgement of the hours I have spent on this mess.

    ADT reminds me of a good old mom-and-pop system, where they want to take care of what they got, and I'm one of what they got. We had the ADT system alarm here since I was a kid. I called the number on the thing. They gave me a quote over the phone. By the time the sales lady gave me the discount on it, I've been paying $30 a month. Between the $30 a month and the insurance, I'm getting house insurance and alarm for $214. I don't mind paying $30 for three years. Later on, I want to add some stuff to the alarm system. But I'm happy the way it is now. We got the newer electronic system at the house now.

    State Farm gives you a discount if you have an alarm system with your house, which is good. When you get any burglar alarm, your insurance goes down, too. That's the advantage to having it with your homeowner’s insurance. It's like getting two for one. By the time the lady gave me the quote, I told her it was good enough for me.

    I had to call ADT one time because my brother hired a lady to clean the house, and she threw out the ADT instruction manual. That was a month after we got the system in. They got me a book here in four days, and I hid it. I had one problem with the alarm at one point, and they did something at the office and re-pointed it, and it has been okay.

    My husband travels a lot, so I like having an alarm when I'm here by myself. ADT’s service package is wonderful and everything has been perfect with my experience. In the 20 years that I’ve been with ADT, everything's been good, except the installer kid that they sent to install the new system when we upgraded within the last year. He drilled a hole from inside the garage, down through the ceiling. He drilled a hole in my bathroom and strung wires up in the attic all over the place.

    ADT has great service. We had them in another house from 2007 to 2021 and then, we transferred some of the service to another house. We continued with them when we moved here and they gave us a loyalty program. The longer you're with them, it seems they're willing to help. They try to service the customers and keep them, which a lot of other companies don't do. They're not loyal to their customers. ADT is. They're professional and it’s comforting for the customer. If you’re going to relocate, they try to work with you, even with upgrades. We watched the house next door to us burn down and it was terrifying. Within 10 minutes, the house was gone. So, I upgraded all my rooms with smoke alarms and ADT was great. They gave us a discount.

    We had a different security system when we bought this place 23 years ago and it was taken over by ADT. Sometimes it’s good, but sometimes it sucks when it comes to getting service, getting it hooked, when there’s a problem and getting someone to understand what we're telling them is going on. A few years back, someone tried to break in our back door at 3:00 in the morning. I happened to be up and happened to hear them, and I called ADT. I dialed 911, and the police got there in a blink, because of ADT. We've paid a lot of money through the years with upgrades, and we're still with them. But the service we get is vindictive of the way the service is, no matter who you have. I expect ADT’s system to work and when it doesn't, I get pissed about it.

    I’ve been with ADT for 25 years now, and it’s a simple alarm system that’s connected to the police. It's been pretty good. You can do a lot of repairs yourself, or rather send out a technician to your house. If you have a new system, they'll have to install it. But most of the problems can be done. The only problem I had here was with a battery, last year with ADT. They sent me the wrong battery for one of my sensors that was out. And that took about 60 days to straighten out. But the system functions well. We've had a few missed calls due to sensors. Overall, it's been pretty reliable. We’re well-satisfied with it.

    I've been protected with ADT for about a year. I got the service because I was having trouble with people were stalking me, and that made me nervous. I had the impression that ADT was reliable. I tried just one other service, SimpliSafe, and after about a year, that got hacked into. So far, ADT has proven reliable. The person who installed my system did not show me how to use it and did not talk about how to use it. He just installed it. He did a great job installing it, but then he just left. It was a little odd. I didn't know a lot, so I would call ADT and they were great. They're very helpful. They walk me through things , and I'm not disappointed.

    However, when I have an emergency, I expected them to be watching and to call me because I pay $50 a month for that service for them to be on top of things. When I did have an emergency a couple of times, it was totally on me to call them or to call the police. We had an intruder and a prowler. When we had an intruder, we had come home from shopping, and the door was open. I have no idea why ADT didn't notify us or respond. The alarm was on when we left.

    The second time, we had something happen, and I called the police. I went through ADT, though. There's a button on my base that has a police shield on it. You can press that if you need help with the police, or if you have medical problems, you can press the medical part. I pressed the police thing, and nothing happened right away. I didn't know if it was working or not. So, it didn't really do anything. Anyway, they came. I did eventually get a message on my phone that said that help was on the way, and that made me feel better. So, I like ADT. I would recommend them.

    I like that there are two apps. There's the Google Plus and there's the ADT Plus. I like that I can access them easily and see my cameras and what’s going on. My least favorite feature is probably the sensors. Now, I know everybody's different. I don't really like the sensors in my home, but I like to move around with people knowing exactly where I am all the time. When we first installed it, I would go out the door, and bells would go off. That bothered me because you're just alerting the neighborhood that you're going out the door. “Hey, everybody. I'm going out the door now.” I didn't think that was such a good idea.

    At the time I bought ADT in my first home, they were offering a service with a two-year monitoring and free installation. I've had two other houses after that and since I had had them for 27 years, they didn't charge me to put my system in in the other two houses. I've added a few features in the latest house that I have to be able to access the garage through the app and a couple of Wi-Fi doors to be able to lock the doors.

    I had an alarm go off, but not because of an intruder. We had a bad sensor. We were out of town and ADT called us and told us about it, but we knew it through our app. They were able to do a bypass on the front door until we were able to get home. I'd recommend ADT. They are very reliable and provides prompt service. It's a basic program and doesn't have all the frills and I could get all that, but I'm perfectly happy with what I want it to be, which is an alarm system.

Even if there's a problem, I call the service people at all hours of the night. That little phone app, where you look right at the phone, the technician can look at it and walk you through. That's a great option. However, it’s a little pricey. But I could justify it because of the service and the reliability of the equipment. Now, if those two go down, I'll probably leave, because it is pricey in my mind. It's affordable, but it's on the higher side. But I've had a really good experience with them. It's been reliable.

    ADT has caused more emotional damage to my family than not having a monitoring system. We had multiple (four) false alarms in the middle of the night, between 2am-4am. My kids cry if they know that I have turned the system on. After spending hours on the phone with ADT and trying to get some resolution, I was met with the scripted response of they have to come out for the same issue 3 times and determine it can't be fixed to get you out of contract. I had techs out each time to fix the issue, and it ranged from bad installation to faulty sensor. I was told that due to the inconvenience, they would waive the fee for a tech to come out and inspect. What they failed to mention, was there is also a Truck fee of a $100 each time a tech comes out, and that they did not waive.

    My only option of resolution is to pay out the 75% of my remaining contract, which is 30 months. This company is manipulative and do not care. I spent hours on the phone, explaining to them the trauma of my kids being woken up in the middle of the night to an alarm and me canvassing the house with a fire arm; just to find out that a sensor faulted on a locked door or window. Customer service always promised they would follow up and escalate my situation; never once did they give me a call back.

    This is a large corporation that has a contract you can't get out of and money back guarantees that are impossible to get. To get out of our contract or to qualify for their money back guarantee they require the local branch to determine that it is not fixable; which would then fall back on the local branch and that tech's responsibility. I would never again use ADT, even if they were the last option.

    I have my own ADT system, and when I tried to sign Mary Ann up, because she's elderly, trembles a lot, and she doesn't understand the phone system, I did it through my phone. As a result, it ended up being in my name. I was assured that it would change once the service person got over to her address. So, when we got there, the service guy installed everything that he could. However, he was not able to install the door lock because something was wrong with the hole and the door, and ADT's lock requires real straight pin to go through, and her door was like at a slight angle, and it didn't go through. So, he left everything there. Then I had ordered Mary Ann a fob because she is in a walker, and she had fallen. They said that they would order it.

    The guy helping me sign Mary Ann up took all her information from her account, and ADT was building her account. She paid full price for all of her equipment. Apparently, the fob was mailed to her, according to their staff, but they put it in my name because the contract was in my name. The guy never changed it, even though I did tell him to change it. I'm assuming that it was returned to ADT because she lived in a secure building, and they were not going to put anything in her box other than her name, and my name was not in her box. So, she never got it. I called, and then I was trying to change everything. I talked to a supervisor, and they wanted me to cancel her account, and we started again, and they wanted her to do it. It was a mess. The reason why I ordered it myself was because she's not able t, but in the process of her trying to see whether she could do something about it, she disconnected me and never called me back.

    Then I called back again, and I talked to the customer service person, and he said he was going to try to send it out again. I said, “Well, you have to put her name on it because it's not going to get to her if you send it to me. It just isn't. And the contract was for that address, not for mine, ‘cause I have my own. I have a fob in my house. So, you guys could not mail it to my house.” He said he was gonna try. To this day, she never got anything. So, now, we've moved her to assisted living. She's no longer at that condo, and I need to cancel her account. I sent a letter to Florida complaining because they wanted me to terminate her contract, and they gave me an email that they wanted a copy of her lease where she is at her new place before they would cancel it. It's just so much screwing up that I said, “Well, they're going to cancel me instead, and they're not going to cancel the right address, because it's under my name.”

    I explained everything when I wrote a complaint to their main office in Florida. I wanted Mary Ann to get credit because she never got the fob, and now, she's not going to need it at her new place, and I also don't want ADT to continue billing her because she's not there. The experience with whoever I talked to at ADT was bad. I even threatened to cancel my own account, which I don't want to. My account is working fine. It is the process of trying to get Mary Ann on it, and then ADT never gave me credit for getting her on anyway. I am done with their customer service.

    The main issue is that I have been paying for alarm monitoring services since 2023, which I have not received, and there is no record that my alarm was not operating as promised. This problem began after a 2023 system upgrade intended to ensure line monitoring. In early 2026, it was discovered that my monitoring had never been set up, a situation multiple representatives described as unprecedented. I have had alarm systems for over 35 years, and before 2022, Protection One provided my service.

    In April 2026, a technician visited. It was found that, despite payment, the equipment had not been installed, and the required parts or services were now unavailable. The proposed solution was for me to spend $1500 to install smoke detectors so my system would function, which confused me. Two separate inquiries later confirmed my concerns. Based on that representation, I repeatedly reached out to ADT. I audited my account and determined that I have been paying for this monitoring the entire time since 2023. I reached out to ADT repeatedly after 3 broken promises and a supervisor promised to call me back, but it never happened.

    Today, 1 actually called me. I was ultimately transferred to account management. 1 hr 30 min later Account management acknowledged the issues and offered an upgrade. I insisted that the question of charges for services I did not receive, starting in 2023, be resolved first. They indicated that ADT could not refund the fraudulently billed amount, then attempted to upsell me. When I insisted this was illegal, the representative told me to listen and began yelling. I have 38 hours documented detailing these unresolved concerns and illegal activity with ADT.

    All of the above is well documented and confirmed by multiple phone calls. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. COMPETENT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NON-EXISTENT. What kind of company tells you they cannot refund the money they acknowledged they stole from you?

Since you have all my information and can see what products I have.

    Tech guy Emmanuel shows up @ 8:10am, he attempted to switch out old panel with new. By 10:30 Emmanuel called for back up Keshyna and he showed.

Oh that's going to be $100. I said no when I got the first system 8 years ago ADT gave to us no charge. Call your supervisor and see what he says.

    I then go and call the 1800 number and talked to Ron in account management explaining the situation and to find out my cameras I have aren't compatible with new systems. No one from ADT told me this when upgrading my system. ADT dropped the ball big time Ron said. He needed to make new work order and "I'm going to give the fob keys to you at no charge and refund the money." Ron also talked to Will Jon ** supervisor, saying, "We have to make this right, we dropped the ball and we don't want to lose them to a competitor." Will agreed to that, but asked about the cameras, we are not giving those for free. Ron said no. Now 11:30pm Keshyna was suppose to have all the product needed to complete the product. They continue to work. The panel is still not hooked up, you have 2 techs trying to figure it out. Now 12:45, Keshyna call his Supervisor. Will also asked them if they were finished with the job and he said no.

    1pm now still trying to figure out panel. I asked very politely, how much longer is this going to take. Keshyna responded by oh we going to have to come back another day and finish. I said, "You have been here since 810 am and it's now 1pm and nothing is completed. You will finish the job. Business hours aren't over till 5pm." Keshyna then respond he doesn't have the product. I said, "Do you really need 2 people here. Emmanuel is watching you work. One goes gets the products and come back." Keshyna replied, "Let us work do our job." I said, "We have been letting you work since 8:10 am it's 1pm now."

    I call back the 1 800 number and talked to account management Damitra, explained everything and she had to call my husband (I had to go to work) and handed the phone to them telling both techs that they need to finish the job and go get the product needed. We don't want her to leave a bad review. Of course Keshyna denied saying that he wasn't going to finish job today. Time goes by Keshyna left to go get the rest of the product. Took another 1.5 hours. Got back at 3:30pm. Still hooking the panel and testing the sensors/ fire alarm. Finally hooks up both cameras. They leave at 5pm. A 9 hour job with 2 guys who didn't know what they were doing.

    Had to call back in the morning and talked to Ben and then the supervisor Adrian hey charged me for the key fobs didn't refund the $105 and charge $23 plus the $142. Was on the phone with ADT for over 1.5 hours. That got resolved for now, we will see when my July bill comes. I go outside to look at the camera ( see attached) it's ghetto rigged. Wires all hanging see the electrical wires. Obviously it wasn't done properly. Emmanuel hooked this up. My camera before no wires showing nice and neat. Just by looking at other outside cameras there are no wires in site. Very unprofessional job. Emmanuel clearly doesn't know what he's doing. Will also canceled 2 other jobs that Emmanuel had for the next day. Obviously there's a problem.

    So for the 5th time in less then 24 hours I've called ADT. I talked to Danna and asked if she could put in the notes to send out a more experienced tech guy. I must wait a week now. A whole day wasted, glad my husband was off as well. Techs on phone couldn't solve the problem with wifi. I got sent techs that didn't know how to do a job. Took 9 hours on top of that. Getting charged for items that said I wasn't going to. Not getting refund the money I was supposed to and a charge that was out of no we're.

    Unfortunately I'm stuck with a contract with you guys til 2029. I will never recommend your services to friends and family and will go with a different provider after the contract is up even if I've been with ADT for over 14 years. Hopefully this doesn't happen to other families/business. Please don't hire techs who don't know what there doing.

    If I could give them zero stars I would, I’ve been misled and lied to for over a month by multiple employees. My security system is very old and hasn’t worked for a very long time, I continued paying my bill every month without delay, I made the phone call to see what they would do for me and I told them I wasn’t going to pay anything for the service whatever was done and they agreed. I was told by multiple agents I would not be charged. But they ended up taking 228:97 upon completion from my account with a broken Z for my signature of which I had not signed nor did they have permission to take my money from my account, since this started, I’ve called ADT multiple times to get my funds back into my bank account.

    I have recordings of multiple conversations with multiple ADT employees telling me that they’re refunding my money within 7 to 10 days. Well today after multiple complaints the money is not in my account and like I said I have multiple recordings of them telling me I’m going to give you back your money and they have not as of today so if I was you and I was considering ADT, I would watch my bank account carefully or maybe have a separate one altogether for them because I don’t trust them. I hope this helps you make the right decision for you. If they decide to do the right thing and return my money I will be very happy to update.

They had to schedule somebody out to come and replace it. ADT is fast on responding. For the value of the money and the service, ADT is a top rated one. However, I heard some beeping.

    I moved into the house and for a sense of security being a female, I wanted the added security with the 19 windows and 3 doors. I also got the panic button which is good and the glass sensor. All of that was with the initial install. I specifically wanted the monitoring that they provide, and I pay for that monthly. When I'm not here, they do the monitoring. The app that they have is very good as well.

    Just the other day, I had interaction with ADT. The gentleman was very professional and knowledgeable. I'm not very computer savvy when it comes to hardware, but he walked me through it. It took us a little while because of me. He even walked me through putting the medical alert and activating that. It was a great experience. However, I first got duped by a person that sold ADT products. He was allowed through ADT to sell ADT products, but he was very unprofessional and unethical. When it all went down, he had to give me back some of my money, and ADT had to come out here and do some stuff. But other than that, ADT is highly professional and I highly recommend them to others that are in need of a security system.

I’m 3 months behind on my bill with ADT so I called them to put my service on hold, but I was told they don’t do that. They went on to explain to me that if I cancel service I would have to pay 850.00 for an early termination of service fee if I didn’t keep my service for 36 months. When I choses ADT the sales person didn’t explain that to me, therefore when a sales man comes around your property selling ADT service think twice, read the fine print, and ask questions.

    I have been a customer for 17+ years and my most recent experience has created a friction experience with me opting out of ADT and never using them again. The respect and trust that I have entrusted ADT with for many years was favorable until ADT - Customer Service and a desperate sales rep/that lied in their contract rules, has me writing this bad review. We moved into an apartment after selling our home and the sales rep obtained our information. They were to make sure the account was cancelled at the home but the sales rep apparently was under a lot of pressure to sell me in a portable equipment for the apartment with me asking thorough questions, one would I be able to opt out of the contract at any time due to the length of time we were staying in the apartment and it was definitely yes.

    I should have known something when he wanted me to close the deal by signing the contract once I pulled my car over, shame on me, I trusted them and shame on ADT customer service and management not hearing me out and working out some compromise. I guess I shouldn’t expect it and after $663 I rather pay that to get out of ADT for life and not never having to deal with ADT again… There are other systems in the space and I am surprised they allowed this sales person/create a brand that left a bad taste in my mouth… not even willing to discuss the contract. Shame on them and shame on me for believing ADT…. I have learned a lesson and I hope consumers pay very close attention to their gut and not allowing a high pressure sales person move them into misrepresentation and lying and same on ADT for not working with a long time customer. Yep your $663 will paid in full but not without educating the consumers… Consumers beware.

I said no thanks and continued paying on the two year contract in order to keep my credit good, even though we were no longer receiving.

    Now at the end of the two-year contract, I try to cancel automatic payments, and now I’m being told that I’m in a three-year contract. I said I want to cancel and they transfer me from person to person to person. The last person that came on told me to stop yelling at them, even though I was being extremely quiet in my voice. This last person continued to repeat to quit yelling at him, and therefore, I stated we’re not gonna do this narcissistic nonsense; to which he said hold on and placed me back on hold and after 40 minutes of being on the phone, I was sent all the way back to the very beginning prompts. There are plenty other security services. I highly recommend going with any of the other of them before choosing ADT as your security provider.

    The world we're living in is demonic and evil. So you want to make sure your house is secured. I bought my house alone about seven years ago and I got ADT around the same time. So I've been with them for about seven years. Their service has been good, but they told me to buy this battery, so I bought with them and they overcharged me for it. Also, they never told me how to install it, so on top of the overcharging, I had to have them to come out because when I put the thing up, something broke off. So, they charged almost $200 just for the guy to come out. But the guy that came out was really nice.

    One time, they said that my alarm was going off and they dispatched the police to my house. I ended up coming out as well and I was pulling up as the police came out and I turned off the alarm. Other than that, when you have ADT, somebody won't break into your home. So, I've been satisfied with their service and their website is okay. But I really want to change from them because my bill is up to $700 right now. They don't give you any incentive for being with the company for so many years. After five years, they could at least give you some kind of incentive, but my bill hasn't come down.

    We just came through a tornado outage for about three or four days. I fell in them, the thing that you put around your neck, and I couldn't get up. They're connected somehow, I believe. So I've been getting calls from them almost on a daily basis to see if our service is still out because they were getting some type of alarm in the office. But other than that, ADT called in to make sure that the battery was good, and what the problem was. We're good, and everything went well. They have a timely response.

We also have a sensor that we put up that doesn't detect the cats, but if something like a window would break, that will go off. Having ADT, our sense of security is much better. We had a window that was open and the screen blew out. The alarm went off, and the police responded. It was awesome. We also had an emergency, and they responded to the police. When it was time to change the battery in the mounted unit on the wall, they helped walk me through it. However, it wasn't working, so they sent someone out, and he showed me how to take care of it.

    I got ADT for security reasons and so far, my experience has been good. Everything seems to be working. When my smoke alarms went off, I was taking a shower. I left the door open and forgot the fan was on. It went off because of the steam and ADT called me. They were on it. I like my system. I like where everything's set up. I can set it with my phone, or with the remote. ADT is a good system. I like it and I would recommend it.

    If I could put less stars I would. I don't even know how this company is still in business and how its rated so high. It has been a nightmare since day one. First the salesperson that came into our house scammed us and lied about the service we're getting, and even though my husband and I specifically asked about this being a contract, she said absolutely not and that we can cancel anytime. well... 6 months later, of hell, messed up sensors, bad quality installation we finally decided to cancel... yes, it was a contract. A THREE YEAR CONTRACT that she locked us in without our consent. And to make it worse, we contacted customer service, who btw, are terrible and everyone is clueless and hold times are so long, they refused to cancel us saying its in the "thin print".

    Fast forward two and half years with a completely pointless bill that did nothing but add annoying maintenance, we moved and contacted them to cancel, and PAYOUT what was left of our contract cash, they took the rest of the amount $400 which fulfilled the contract. This was June 2025, we are in June 2026 and they are STILL charging us. NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVICE, JUST REOCCURING MONTHLY BILL. We have spent an immense amount of time and energy trying to cancel but everyone is transferring us to the next, telling us we're looking into it, promising call backs that never got returned and here we are, a year later and still on hold. DO NOT SIGN UP.. DO NOT USE ADT.. BIG COMPANY AND BIG SCAM.. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, UNKNOWLEDGEABLE EMPLOYEES and JUST ONE BIG MESS.

    As a once loyal customer of ADT, I am really disappointed in ADT. First serious issue with ADT which they admitted it was their fault later down the road, I moved locations for military obligations like I usually do and the ADT rep terminated my services vs transferring my services which caused me to pay for my equipment and remaining balance of the contract. I disputed it but by time it got escalated to corporate it was sent to collections without any acknowledgement. Every conversation I had with a different rep was different.

    The last conversation was I was right I didn't owe anything because the services should have been transferred by that time it hit my credit...Next issue, I cancel my services and the next day $800 was withdrawn out of my account, no bill explaining how that amount came about no warning saying "hey expect money to be drawn out of your account " nothing but waking up seeing $800 withdrawn from my account. The last rep told me I would be getting a bill to explain what I owe, so I asked why I couldn't get a bill explaining where you get the amount of $800 he preceded to pull a calculator over the phone lol....terrible.

    DO NOT SIGN an ADT CONTRACT!!! It's a trap. It was a frustrating experience to be a ADT customer for a number of reasons:

    - Countless false alarms at night when the system is not even armed due to low batteries or some mysterious environmental triggers and ADT has never provided any solution to prevent this. Good luck going to work and being productive after a night like that!

    - Numerous fraudulent charges, which got resolved upon escalation but you have to catch the fraud and then waste your time on the phone trying to dispute.

    BUT THE REAL NIGHTMARE BEGAN WHEN I TRIED TO CANCEL THE SERVICE. There are no cancelation instruction if you didn't purchase the service online. ADT agents give conflicting and misleading information or outright refuse to help or just ignore you and stop responding. ADT account management team that handles cancelations is unreachable.

    Upon receiving my written notice of cancelation by mail, ADT refused to process it by imposing additional (and virtually impossible) condition never stated in the contract. For instance, ADT refused to process my written cancelation notice unless I call 800-238-2727, etx 6 EXACTLY 30 days before my contract expires. Guess what, I have already spent numerous hours calling that number before seeking help with the cancelation process and I have never, not never!, been able to reach a human. What this means is that even if you comply with the contract and submit your written notification on time, ADT will impose extraneous and impossible conditions to make it impossible for you to cancel. Do your research, there is a lot of info on reddit about how this company scams people. I wish I did my research when getting into a contract with this fraudulent company.

    I had some carbon monoxide alarms and the panel was showing that they were tripping. I called the company I had before and told them I don't have a fire but I need to have somebody come out and take a look at this. Three weeks later, they finally sent somebody out and he didn't know what he was doing. I told him to leave. And I switched back to ADT. I was their customer for almost 30 years before that. I just had the system reinstalled about a month and a half ago and the installation process was super excellent. They did a great job. Price-wise, ADT is cheaper than the other one, and it was lower than what I had been paying the year before.

    We were out on vacation and I notified ADT that we would be gone. The house was tripped and they notified the police department immediately and our second responder. They got down here. For whatever reason, the door didn't latch when we left. But it’s been taken care of. People should go to ADT and not to any of the other companies.

    ADT seems to be very good in alerting potential issues. The system lets you know when there's problem, and that's helpful. The technology seems to be very good. But the downside is, when there is an issue and I have to call ADT, I am bombarded with advertisements. It's a very stressful situation and the last thing we want to hear is advertisements for more stuff. They cut out the ads at the least appropriate time to try and sell something. They could have music to take up time while the customer is waiting.

    ADT's service has been mediocre and I wouldn't call it top shelf. For as long as I've been with them, I don't hear anything from them. I had a few issues that I called them out on, but it’s like I really don't exist to them. I want to upgrade my system and have some of the best services, like cameras around the house. I can afford it, but no one has reached out to me to try to even sell me anything like that. I just pay them a bill every month, but the service after the sale is not there.

    At the end of the day, I just have basic alarm and the biggest benefit is having some sort of sense of security. In case someone breaks in, the alarm will set itself off, and someone will be notified. Also, when I had an emergency, their response was fairly timely, overall. But in the past, we had an issue and when my wife tried to work with them, she had to jump through a few hoops and loops to get the way she was going. All in all, I wouldn't recommend anyone to ADT and I’d advise friends and family members to search for something that's a little more competitive and upgraded.

    ADT is part of our HOA package here in Retreat and because I'm part of the HOA, I’m not paying much other than just for the camera part. So, it's very reasonable for us. I like what I’m paying. If I am not in the HOA, I would still consider ADT. They have done what they said they would do. They provide security for alarms. I've had a couple of extra cameras added and one of the cameras went out. The techs came out and replaced it a couple of weeks ago. Other than that, the equipment is easy to use and we haven't had any false alarms. When I lived in Illinois, my neighbor had ADT, and he had a lot of false alarms, and that was not a happy experience. But it’s not so much ADT. It’s more the problems of the house.

    I use the app very frequently and it does the things it's supposed to do. When I have to get in touch with ADT, it just takes a phone call and a little bit of wait time. But other than that, it’s not a problem. I would recommend others to adopt ADT if it’s available to them. I have peace of mind that we’ve got the protection for fire and different kinds of things that work.

    I got nailed one day when a young guy came knocking at my door and started talking to me about ADT. My husband had died and I got talked into it. But it made sense to me, because I live alone, and it felt like it should be secure. The system is okay. I have one sensor that irks me a bit. It's a glass break system, and they installed it in my living room. I'm not sure why, because if somebody's going to break into my house, they will not break into my living room windows. But every time my storm door closes, even if there's not glass in it, when that storm door closes, I hear “Family glass break.” Irritating. That's a bit of a drawback.

    I've always had very good experience with the techs or the agents that I spoke with. I have cellular failure issues with it that I called about one time, because it just beeps. ADT checked the system. Everything worked. So, I just live with the beep. It's okay. It works. I set it at night when I go to bed. I was gone in the summertime, and I turned my air conditioning off. But I love that a week before I was planning to come home, I could turn it on gradually. So, I didn't turn it on the day that I came home and had to drop it 20 degrees. I like being able to arm and disarm my system remotely.

    I've had a couple of issues with it going off, and it shouldn't have but things happened. When I first got it, I tried to sneak out at the house in the morning before I fed my cats. I tried to sneak out to get a walk in. I did my walk, I came home, and there's a police car sitting in my neighborhood. I walked past and said, “Huh. Did I disarm that system? Probably not.” It happened another time when I went out to feed the cats in the morning. It was a couple years later. I was out in my yard and I heard the alarm going off. I ran like Usain Bolt trying to turn it off.

    Recently, they set up this thing where they're supposed to text you. If your alarm goes off, they text you to let you know that it's going off. I didn't have a notification set up on that, so I didn't hear the text. I had left my home because I was going up to my mother's house. My phone was ringing, and I was driving. I don't answer the phone when I'm driving. I got to a stoplight, and looked. It was ADT and I was, “Oh, no.” I've had a couple of times, and I know it was my fault.

    I called back and the woman said, "I'm with ADT. Your alarm went off.” I said, “Everything is fine. You don't need to call the police.” But she said, "We already have. I'll see if I can get them to cancel the call.” She was very pleasant. She made sure that I was okay.

    I'm happy with the system. However, the billing needs improvement. Maybe they were so excited about whatever they're doing to the website. But I would like to have known ahead of time that I would be charged a bit more money. Two times in the years that I've been with them, they've raised my rate but have not notified me ahead of time. The first time it happened, I called. It was only $5, but I called. I said I didn't know it was going up. So, they dropped the $5 off. This last time, they had sent me several notices about the changes they were making to the MyADT website. I don't know what they were doing. I got my credit card bill, and my monthly fee had gone up $10. All they told me about was improvements to the website. I did the chat bot thing, and they dropped the $10 off. I said, "I don't like paying more for stuff, but I don't mind doing it if I know I'm gonna have to."

    The thing is says, “We usually like to give our customers 30 days notice that it's gonna happen.” But I got no 30 days notice. I'm used to getting an email that tells me, "Your bill is ready to be charged, and it's gonna be this much money." A week and a half later, they charged it to my card. It tells me my bill is ready to be submitted a week and a half before. And it goes to my credit card. If they had done that this time, I would have said, "Crap. It's going up $10. Oh, well.” But they didn't notify me, and they've done that twice. I know that things go up. I know that things cost more.

    I'm trying to get the requirement to show that I have an alarm system. It somehow or another fell off my State Farm Insurance. ADT sent the certificate I requested, but my insurance company said they needed a signature on the end date at the bottom of the page. So, I’m supposed to get another letter stating that the system has been active since 2011. But I haven’t had any issues with ADT. My parents passed away and I’m living in the house now, and I still use ADT. I would accidentally open the door and forget I had the alarm on, and ADT would call and confirm that I was okay.

    I learned that you can have the system set up to call your person of contact. When I go out of town, I can have it call my cousin or somebody local first or second. You can always designate that, or have it call the police first. When I go out of town, I usually say, "Call the police first." If I'm in town, I want them to call me first. But usually, it's me setting the alarm off. When I walk outside, I forget I have it on. One time, I had to get a new battery and the tech support walked me through how to install it. So, both tech support and customer service were both helpful. And the price is reasonable. The only thing is I need a new key fob because mine’s faded. I can’t tell what was what. But I just have it memorized.

    I am incredibly frustrated with ADT's cancellation process. I have been a loyal customer for 8 years and am completely out of contract. Despite this, I have been trying to cancel my service for over a month. First, I was told I could not cancel over chat or during my initial phone call. Instead, I was forced to schedule a phone appointment a week later just to speak with someone who could process it. During that scheduled call, I was informed that I have to wait another 30 days for the cancellation to take effect, meaning I am being charged for a service I do not want, especially after a service tech has been supposed to come out for over 2 months because my system has not been working properly. Making customers jump through hoops and enforcing a 30-day waiting period on a month-to-month, 8-year loyal customer is unacceptable. ADT makes it intentionally difficult to leave, and I cannot recommend a company that treats long-term customers this way.

I got a long walkway up to my door and with the camera, I could see who's coming up to my doorbell, and I can see before they get here. And then, I can see if they park in front of my house and they're getting ready to come up to my door. ADT’s service is good and I have never had to call to complain.

    My parents had ADT and then I bought the house from them, and they've been gone for 15 years. So, it’s been a long time. We’ve probably had them or some affiliate ever since we had an alarm system, and the reliability and the breadth of service made us stay. I had gone away, and instead of turning the thermostat down, I turned it off by mistake. I got a call from them and I let my cousin in so I could turn the thermostat back. I'm up north and it’s either early in the spring or late in the fall when it would get down to freezing. I don't have a comprehensive system yet because I finally got rid of my flip phone.

    I've had ADT for a long time and they've always worked perfectly. I had a different alarm company and had several false alarms due to their poor equipment. So ADT, of course, is a big name, and I decided to go with them, and I haven't had any false alarms. We just got the newer technology, though. And the control panel is not as good as the old one. It's not as simple. It doesn't work. The tactile buttons on it are not as sensitive or work as well. We run into some issues with that. But as far as my control, they work fine. ADT is a dependable system.

    We had crimes against our property, and I did a quick search, trying to find someone to take care of our family's needs. ADT’s reps came in, did all the work and explained how to use the system. They were very quick. We had a few things that needed adjustments and they took care of it. But biggest of all, the cameras are working, and that’s what we needed. They’ve done a good job. It’s helpful that I can ask Google a question through the system, and we know who's coming and going. I feel better that we got the system.

    I haven't had problems with ADT. There's just one thing I was a bit concerned about. When the guy came out here the last time, he conflicted my phone with the security. And all my phone lines were working, but when he left, I only got one line that worked. I was a bit concerned about that. He put it on a Cox cable because I got digital phone service. I wasn't getting a signal, so he had to put in another box. Once he got the thing connected up, I only got one line working. It's the one where he connects everything, which is in my office, but all the other lines in the house are not working.

    I brought that to his attention, because when he was out here, he had a little problem, he had to call somebody twice, and he finally got it working. He told me I had to see my cable company that had the digital phone. That was odd, but I wouldn't argue with the guy. However, I didn't appreciate that part. That pushed me to have another bill. That's the only problem I have with ADT all these years. I used to get a call saying the system wasn't connecting, but I don't get those calls anymore. So, I assume it's working. My concern was to make sure the alarm was working. I had no idea that the phone would be down.

    The ADT system is fine. I've had it for a long time. Navigating the ADT system has been easy. I can set my parameters. There's no problem with that. However, the cameras don't seem to want to come on a lot. But I just fight with them myself and eventually get them to come back up. They give me this nonsense about my router. My router is fine. It's a 5G. It's just the cameras themselves. I wish they had cameras like Ring, where you could talk to people, but they don't. They need to upgrade their cameras and their system. If Ring can do it, why can't ADT? But I like that I can monitor and my cameras record. And crooks don't care. They still will come up on your porch and steal, even though they know they're on camera. And they look right up at the camera. I have given the police a number of my videos, and the police used one of my videos to catch a criminal.

    I’ve been here for three plus years, but I had an ADT account when I was living in Hawaii for 20 years. When I came here, there was some other security system in the house but I didn’t know anything about it, and there wasn’t anything on any of the doors or glass breaks. So I called ADT and had them move my account. ADT is almost all electronic. I don’t turn the system on if I’m going to the grocery store but I turn it on if I’m going to be gone for a couple of days or if I’m going out overnight or if I’m gonna be late. If you want a sign, you just push the button on the app. Everything is there. I haven't had to update anything, and everything seems to work. I've been very happy with ADT.

    I used it more in Hawaii because there were a lot of condos right down below where the single-family homes were, and there were people who wandered up. Also, there had been multiple break-ins. Someone broke in my friend’s house while everyone was there and they got them out of there and called the police. But my house never had a break-in because I had ADT. I never even had an issue. But I turned it on a lot more. Here, it’s a very quiet neighborhood. There was a shooting on the MSU campus a couple of years ago, and they didn't know where the guy was. I'm not very far from the MSU campus, so I had the alarm on. As soon as I heard that, I ran and got my phone, pushed the button. I'm by myself, except for the two dogs and the ADT system makes me feel more secure. The police here even have a site where you can register if you have cameras and alarms. So, if something is going on, they know where to go.

    I’m happy because nothing has happened. The system doesn’t act up. I had one instance after I first installed it where one of the glass break things by the door kept saying low battery. I put a new battery in it, and two seconds later it was low battery again. So, ADT sent a new one and I changed it out. I told them I had already gone through three batteries in three weeks and that something had to be wrong because these normally last several years. They told me to just put in a new battery, but I insisted there was an issue. It turned out to be a defective unit. They mailed me a replacement and asked if I could install it myself, which I could as long as I had the instructions, since it was just a simple screw-on, screw-off replacement. I did it, and everything’s been fine ever since. The only other thing was that the sign broke during a windstorm. It got blown around, hit a rock in my yard, and smashed into pieces. Other than that, I’m good.

    ADT has been efficient. The functionality has been great. I've even been able to train my son at a young age how to use all of the functions. We switched from the key fob to now the app is on our phones. The four digit code is always easy to remember, because you can just pick something close to your heart. The updates seem to happen on the back end. I don't have to call a tech and say, “My system is malfunctioning.” Whatever they're doing at the main office is being taken care of.

    The performance is amazing. Sometimes, I'm in the kitchen and I'm cooking, and it's not a fire. It's just smoke. The fact ADT calls me to make sure that we're okay first. Every time they call me, they reach out to my emergency contact as well. It's simultaneously, which is top tier for me. Because if I passed out, my emergency people will call me and say, "What's going on with you?” If they don't get me, they know to call ADT back and tell them to send someone to my home. That's above and beyond for me.

    ADT makes me feel very safe. Long before they allowed people to conceal and carry, we had ADT as the police between police, and that is great. I believe that the people on my block and myself who have ADT have had less people try to vandalize our properties, even if we leave our garages open. I've left my garage open many times, but they see that I'm covered by ADT, so they assume that I have a camera. They assume that even though the garage is up, ADT is going to alert me, and they might end up getting locked in my garage. ADT is definitely the police in between the police. And it does put a little fear in criminals’ hearts.

    I just recently changed over my system, and ADT has partnered with my insurance company. That is the smartest thing that any security system could do. You can get a contract for three years and they give you a discount because you're going the extra mile to take care of your home and that is very appreciated as a homeowner.

    At one point, I fought with them every day. Some neighborhoods are overlooked. One of the techs came, and he started asking questions and found out a couple of things about me. People don't take pride in their homes. A lot of people feel bad because of the property tax, where you can't afford the minimum for the house. But that's not everybody's situation. The tech just gave me a bit of information. I had to fight with ADT a bit to get that for my home. As a loyal customer and someone who has been around for a long time, technical companies that sell phones, security systems, Geek Squad sometimes forget about the people who have been around for forever. And they are catering to people who just started. That's like giving your mistress more than you give your wife. Who does that in the beginning?

    You're gonna give the mistress the house and you let the wife be in an apartment? That's not how you do. Technical companies do that a lot. Once they've already got you, they don't want to give you the discounts. You have to fight for the discounts. I understand that they need new business, but this old money. They feed into new money, and it's many systems out here on Amazon and SimpliSafe, and all of these people who don't give the quality service that ADT gives. But people will leave them for the one-time price of this or the one-time price for that. Being a homeowner, I have learned that it is better to be in a contract, and it is better to have a warranty than it is to not have a guarantee.

    2 1/2 years ago, I signed a contract with ADT to install cameras and to monitor my home. The quote on the phone was approximately $2,000. I spoke with several ADT employees who gave me various quotes for the same work and equipment. When the installer came to our house, he quoted $5,000, telling me they never get it right at ADT. I have had issues with the cameras and service is non-responsive. I was told there is no charge for service since it is included in the monthly charge of approximately $80.

    When I call to report trouble with my cameras, they tell me “get up on a ladder” to see if the cables are connected to the cameras at the junction in my garage.” The problem is the cables are high above, about 12 feet high. Whenever a service tech has come to my house they walk around, ask me questions, and either tell me they cannot fix it or, they want to sell me something. They receive a commission. I have had aggravation for 2 1.2 years without consistent service. There is more to this if someone contacts me.

    Have been a customer of ADT for 14 years. This past few weeks have been a nightmare in dealing with them. My 12 year old ADT smoke detector needed replacing. The loyalty department was to arrange for a technician to come out and replace it free of charge. The day of appointment the technician called on his way to my address to say there are going to be a charges for the visit and for the new smoke detector. When I told him that the Loyalty department had arranged for the visit to be free of charge, he stated there was nothing notated in my account stating that and also the smoke detectors were backordered, so he did not have one for a replacement. This is the day of the appointment that this occurred. So we cancelled the visit before he came to site and I was to call ADT Loyalty department to reschedule.

    After talking to ADT loyalty department about this incident, they said they would get me rescheduled when they found out what happened and call me back. I never received a return call. It is one week later and I still have not received a call. I looked at my ADT account online and saw that they were charging me $384 for a visit that never occurred. I called to get it straightened out and was told charges would be reversed today and they would call me back when it was done. This company has become extremely disorganized and I have lost confidence that if something does happen and my alarm would go off, there may be a lack of response from them. I will be cancelling my service with them and going with another company.

    I am extremely frustrated with ADT’s handling of my account cancellation. I called to cancel service on April 19, 2026, and was informed that a 30-day notice was required, making the official cancellation date May 20, 2026. Because we were selling our home, the associate also advised that the system would be powered down on May 6, 2026, so no alarms would dispatch to authorities for the new homeowners.

    Since billing is paid a month in advance, I was told we would receive a credit for the remaining 11 days after cancellation. We have received no credit. Worse, since May 6, we have had TWO emergency dispatch calls from ADT triggered by the new owners of the home, proving the account and monitoring service were never properly shut down.

    We have made at least five separate phone calls to ADT. Every representative has confirmed the account notes clearly show the April 19 cancellation request, yet no one can explain why the account is still active. Despite repeated requests, I have also never been allowed to speak with a manager. This has been an unacceptable experience involving billing errors, failure to process cancellation, and repeated false dispatches tied to a property we no longer own. I am now filing a formal BBB complaint due to ADT’s failure to resolve this matter.

They called the police because I was on a plane and they couldn't get ahold of me and my wife. They handled that call very well. The police responded and when I called them, they didn't want to give me the report 'cause they said they didn't know if I was a fake person. ADT tried to help me get the report. I ended up getting the police to come back to my house and check the backyard 'cause when they came, they only checked the front and one side.

    I've added Google cameras. They just came and changed out one of the cameras 'cause the old one was corroded as I live by the ocean. The Google cameras were a nice addition, although I have Ring cameras that are every bit as good as Google. Also, the Google cameras are not ideal. If I do a hard reset on the modem, which needs to be done once in a while, again, I have to go out on the ladders to do that.

    To reboot the Ring cameras is pretty simple but the process to reboot the Google cameras and put a password in is tedious and time consuming. Every time that I have to reboot, like if I get a new modem, I have to go up on a ladder and push a button on the cameras. The gentleman that installed them for ADT took the little barcode that you scan with the camera. He didn't leave it for me, and that was horrible. Now I have to go up and the numbers that I need off the cameras to do it are really small. I have to use a magnifying glass to read them, and I'm on a ladder and a 69-year old with a hip implant.

    Another thing that I don't like about ADT at this point is the maintenance contract that I got in 2011 is supposed to replace any parts and include labor. At first, they did that for years, but they unilaterally one sided decided to change that contract and that's unethical and immoral. I had to pay $59, which was a bargain, for the camera that I had replaced because they did recognize I had that contract. Now, I have to replace my own battery. Before, I could call, and a technician would come out and replace the battery to the alarm system. They did that multiple times. But they also decided they didn't have to do it any longer. They got cheap.

    Over the years, they've made it harder to get ahold of someone to get help. An example of that is after the new camera was installed, I needed a little bit more help over the phone. But they're going to an AI system that was absolutely not even close to being ready to roll out, and it beat me to death trying to get to a technician. They can do all the advertising in the world, on TV, but if they got an AI system that beats you to death when you need help, they'll lose more customers over that than they will anything. It would draw out a call that should have taken 10 minutes into an hour, and that's not exaggeration. It's giving them a black eye that I don't think they have the vaguest idea, because the people that are making these decisions are not the people on the front line. It's their executive management.

    Outside of those, I'm pretty satisfied. In general, the system works very well. The skill level of the ladies over the phone was off the charts, and so was the young gentleman that came to my house last time. They were patient and professional. They got the right answer the first time, not having to call back a second time. For the market value, I could get comparable equipment with comparable service from other companies for less money. Compared to other companies, ADT is the highest in the industry. But their equipment is giving me a service that I need.

    When I had my new alarm system installed in my new home, the reps explained everything. I love the package that I have. It's great being able to set my alarm when I'm away from home. I've had ADT for years and my experience has been good.

    At the end of the day, my experience with ADT has been okay. It's just hard getting through to them. They have an AI who answers the phone. Then when I want to speak to a live person, it takes a lot of effort to get through the AI voice into a live person. I'm successful after putting in effort. The service was promised to me to be free of charge after I asked to speak with the supervisor. The fire alarm wasn't working properly, vis-a-vis the panel. With their live person's instruction, who was very good, very thorough, very professional, she walked me through what to do to replace the battery in the existing fire alarm. I did that. I had a problem with the panel and she couldn't clear it. I couldn't clear it. So, I needed a serviceman to come to my home. I made the appointment only to get a call that said, "Hey, the serviceperson called in sick." I asked if I could have it the next day, and I had it the next day.

    The serviceperson came and replaced the whole fire alarm, did a thorough job, cleared the panel, and left. Then I saw on my account I'm being charged for it. So, I called them, spoke with the representative, finally, getting through the AI voice once again, and the representative said, "Oh, yes. I see here." When I spoke with the representative, I made sure that the representative put on my account that the supervisor agreed to give me free of charge for the service call, but I was charged anyway. So, I'm waiting to see. It hasn't hit my account as of yet. I've not received notice. I'll give it a few days and give a call next week if it hasn't been refunded to my account.

    So far, going with ADT is the best security decision I've ever had. Anything that I call them for, their reps are always willing and able to help. The biggest benefit of having ADT is the comfort in knowing that it's there and it works good. ADT is the best security system and I wouldn't use no other.

    ADT monitored our CA home for a decade. When we moved to TN, I called to cancel the service and the agent convinced me to accept their FREE ADT equipment for our new home (many lies in that conversation). This agent never told me she could not cancel our CA service, and transfer the call to the right department. Instead she let me think we canceled and pushed the DIY equipment. I just received a letter (forwarded from CA home) that we need to renew our alarm permit. I called the number to remind ADT that we no longer have an account and was told that it was NEVER cancelled and we had been charged for the last 5 months.

    I never saw this because my husband has been ill, and in the hospital a lot, so I didn’t see it on the bank account he used. ADT refused to refund the money, and I was informed that because I called on the 27th, and not the day before, I would also be paying for June, for a house we hadn’t lived in for six months. When they say, ”We are sorry about this but there is nothing we can do as those are the rules,” know that they are lying. They do not care that this is criminal and it’s not about customers - only about how much money they can get from us.

    First I would like to say when setting up service the phone conversation I thought went great. The guy I spoke to on the phone said I can get cameras only on the outside of a rental property, quoted me a price, I agreed, set up an appointment. They came out, I was excited. I live in another city. I came and this where it got frustrating. The technician Anthony ** told me that I could not just get cameras only. He told me I had to get an security system. This was a rental property. After going back and forth we agreed to put the security system in the shed in order to get the cameras. I signed the contract and he told me that he will come back and do the cameras when I get the internet on. I didn't think anything about it and he did not tell me that I would have to have another contract for the cameras since I did not get everything done in that one visit until I called back to get the appointment for the cameras.

    When I called Terrence ** informed me that I did not have to have a security system to get cameras that I could only get cameras and that I will have to sign a whole new contract for cameras in that the price would change and it would be a lot more. After going back and forth with them I agreed to cancel the whole thing. Terrance confirmed with me he spoke to his supervisor and said he put in the order for cancellation, I will receive a email.

    The next day I still never received an email so I called back to the cancellation department, spoke to a lady, I did not get her name. She informed me that if I wish to cancel there is a cancellation fee. Mind you I have not had this service for one week, cancellation fee was almost $2,000 for security system that I did not ask for. I only wanted cameras only. ADT is a rip off. Their technicians and customer service rear people in to get them to sign contracts and take their money off of lies. Do not waste your money on their lies.

    I have been dealing with ongoing issues with ADT since November 2025. I already had one account with ADT in another state, so I was excited to open a second account. Unfortunately, my experience has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. Since starting service, I have had repeated problems with my lock system and overall functionality of the equipment. I have contacted ADT every month trying to resolve these issues, but nothing has been consistently fixed. Each representative gives me different information, and there has been no clear communication or permanent resolution.

    I was originally told that my doorbell camera would be able to unlock my door, which turned out to be false. I was also told at one point that my service could be canceled without penalty because of all the unresolved issues, but later I was given different information. I continue to receive conflicting explanations from different employees, which has caused unnecessary stress and confusion.

    My monthly bill is around $60, yet I cannot properly use the equipment because it does not work correctly while being charged $102.00. I even offered to pay approximately $400 for the equipment just to end the situation and move on, but I still continue to get the runaround instead of a clear resolution. ADT has repeatedly offered account credits, but credits are not solving the problem. I simply want this matter resolved fairly. After months of unsuccessful troubleshooting and inconsistent communication, I no longer have confidence in the service or support being provided. I believe it is unfair for a company of this size to continue handling a customer situation this way for so long without accountability or a proper resolution. I am requesting that ADT allow me to cancel my contract without penalty.

    My mom is 90 years old. I stay with her most nights. She has mild dementia. She has not used ADT. In about a year. I pay all her bills. I have power of attorney. For the last 5 months, I have tried and tried to cancel this service first with written notice. Then I’ve called 5 times. They will not cancel. I stopped paying 4 months ago and they keep right on charging me. This is a very very bad and scammer company. They insist on speaking with my mom. My mom has no clue whatsoever. They ask for the code. Which no one knows, I get so frustrated. I just hung up. Very bad company.

    We’re in a desolate area, and we wanted to have cameras. ADT is one of the most popular security companies and I’ve been with them for a little less than a year. Depending on the situation, it’s a little difficult communicating with ADT. There have been some issues, but they were eventually resolved, so I’m fine with them. The Google Home feature is most useful. It’s easier to access everything through the ADT Plus app. My sense of security is much better now since having the system.

    With ADT, I can relax a little bit, particularly when I'm on travel away from home. They are very professional and trustworthy. I've been with them for a lot of years and I have maintained a standard system. I haven't upgraded anything and I don't have any problems. Most of the time, ADT's reps have been courteous and their response system is very good.
