    I needed a security system to alert the cops sooner and I decided to go with ADT. The experience with the sales reps was good as well as when the guy came out to do the installation. ADT is a little pricey but it’s good. Since having them, my sense of security is better.

    Definitely shop around before signing a 3 year contract with ADT. There are far better options available for much less money. The home I purchased had an ADT system and I unfortunately made the mistake of sticking with them for my home security needs. That was a horrible decision. After 18 months I received notice of a price increase. What's the purpose of a contract when a company can raise the price whenever they choose? I've never encountered anything like this in my 60+ years. They already charge 3 times more for monthly monitoring than a popular and highly reviewed competitor.

    Upon further research I found a site that reviewed 11 home security companies, and ADT was ranked at the very bottom of the list. I've encountered issues with my alarm going off when it was not even set on more than one occasion. The last time this happened was about 3 weeks ago in the middle of the night when I happened to get out of bed for a glass of water. If I hadn't done so I likely would have had the police at my door.

    My main complaint though are the nasty details buried in the fine print of the contract you receive via email. The worst thing is the fact that if you want to cancel the contract for any reason, you must pay 75% of the remaining monthly fees due! God forbid if you decide or have to move. The same would hold true if you lost your job as tens of millions have during the pandemic. ADT wants your money and they could care less about your situation. They neglect to mention any of the details surrounding cancellation when they sell you on their services. As I previously stated, you receive the contract via email and the print is the smallest I've ever seen. I now understand why. If you read through it all, most people would look elsewhere for their home security needs as I should have done.

    On Oct 25,2020, A salesperson for ADT came out to my home to sale/install alarm and security camera equipment (MR. **). After a few days I began to have problems with my WiFi, so I contacted my provider & ordered a bigger modem. This issue caused the Camera to go out. After working with tech support, they decided to sent a Tech out. On Dec. 1, '20 a tech came out who was very rude and non informative telling I had 60% usage & I needed another WiFi extended that ADT DONT HAVE.

    Well I begin asking more questions which appeared to irritate him, so he left and wrote a summary report slandering my character as well as used my name by means of Electronic signature without permission. I have called numerous times & asked where to file a complaint. Because of COVID I was told by several people that how it's done. My Electronic signature SHOULD NOT be used without authorization nor should it be used on any forms without prior reading of these forms.

    I had ADT a long time ago. At the time, there was some promotion going on and we switched, my husband and I. So we were with the other company for a while. Then there was an incident, probably a couple of weeks or so ago and the alarm was triggered. The police didn't come for 40 minutes and that was very concerning. We decided then we would change back to ADT. Their rep was very knowledgeable. He took us through our options and he made great recommendations and then we made a selection. The first person I spoke to initially when we call to schedule was very good and knowledgeable, too. The panel is very nice. ADT is really reputable and they've been around a long time. I would definitely recommend it to other people.

    The customer service was good and the person-to-person experience was not bad. But I had a very bad experience with ADT. First of all, whoever was here called the manager, who said that he would be here in the afternoon from 3:00 forward. On Saturday, I had family over and he shows up at 10:30 in the morning and comes in the house while everybody was sleeping. I told him that I thought he was coming at 3 o'clock and he said that he was here a little earlier. That was very unprofessional and I was very annoyed. If you give someone a time bracket from 3:00 to 6:00 or from 3:00 to 5:00, you’re supposed to come from that time bracket and not unexpectedly.

    Second of all, I had a mom-and-pop shop and it had an alarm system which was called Alarm Pro. My alarm was working fine in my garage but I had to cancel because ADT couldn't get the garage door to work with the alarm system. They said it was too far away from the home but that’s not true because the alarm system I had before was an older alarm system. It was a small company and they were able to make it work. ADT has a much better system than them so, I don't know what ADT did wrong but they didn't do something right. I was very disappointed. Also, I need my money back on my card because they charged me for the system.

    My friend got an ADT system a couple of weeks ago and she loved it and had a good experience so I went with the reference. However, ADT corporate was a nightmare. I went with a third party and every time I called, I got corporate. They told me I couldn't get the same deals. They gave me the runaround. I called probably 15 times within 24 hours and every representative I got all spoke really bad of this third party. They were very negative.

    Even if it's a third party and ADT doesn't like it, they shouldn't speak negative of people because the third party didn't speak negative of ADT. I've been in sales my whole life. When you're in sales, you don't throw people under the bus. I was about ready to give it up and not go with ADT. But somehow, I got a contact with a third party and my technician was phenomenal. I loved him. The whole experience was wonderful after I didn't have to deal with corporate. I've only had the system for a couple of days so I'm still learning it. But so far, I like everything. The system itself seems to be really good.

    One of my friends got ADT and she loved her experience. So, I took it upon her referral. A lot of the other ones are just Wi-Fi based. If the power goes down, I wouldn't have felt as safe and I took ADT more for the backup. Madeline was the first customer sales representative that I spoke to and when we were having some issues tracking certain information, she escalated me to her manager who gave me great service. So, it was amazing.

    Austin, the person who did the installation, was amazing, super sweet, very informative, wore his mask and very respectful. It took maybe an hour and a half because it was Black Friday and we were having issues getting through customer service but it was great. I love having control for my app. I can set the alarm for stay and nighttime from my bed before I go to sleep. I've only had an issue forgetting that it's armed and I probably shouldn't open the door. But I like it and I definitely feel a lot safer.

    We have had ADT for several years. Luckily, never had a break in. However, we recently had a break in to our house. We had set our alarm before we left the house as per our usual routine. Someone broke the window to our back door and opened the door. The alarm did not go off. They managed to steal several very valuable things from our house. We called ADT and they said that the alarm never went off. There were no indicators from our panel that there was any malfunction. When the ADT service person came, he said that there was a hardware piece that was broken and he replaced it. The problem was that we had no idea that the alarm was not transmitting appropriately prior to that date. Everything looked fine on our end. So therefore, we basically were paying for service that we were not receiving for who knows how long. It was basically a scam.

    I called ADT and asked to speak to customer service, they told me that there is not a person I can talk to but to please send a letter to an address they gave me, I did that and then received an email to say that I should call a number, which ended up being the standard phone tree which did not have a customer service number again. Again, basically, there is no real customer service person to speak to. I do not believe that ADT really provides good service and they give you the run around so that you can't ever complain about it to anyone. Do not use this company for your security needs.

    I had ADT some time ago and restarted it. The rep promised a lot of stuff. But when they got here, he didn't keep his promise. He made it sound like there wouldn't be one. But I went ahead and did it anyway. They kept adding stuff on to me. He promised me that I could have cameras and then they told me that I had to pay $299 to get the cameras, a one-time charge. So it didn't come close to what I expected. Other than that, the installer were all fine. Both reps that came out here were fine.

    My next-door neighbor has ADT and they've had it for years so I know they are well-satisfied. My friend, Sarah, has ADT too and she told me about it. The man that came out in Mississippi asked me questions then he talked to the lady on the cellphone. He gave me some number then he put his equipment up. He did good. I put the system on my mobile home in Mississippi and I live in New Orleans. My husband was there yesterday and he didn't use the remote key. He used the pad on there and it was working.

    So far, I'm satisfied with ADT. We got a sign in the yard letting somebody know that we do have it. If I had to do it again, I would go with ADT. I like the part that when my three years is up, they don't cancel my contract. I can still keep my contract at my same rate. That's what my friend told me. I asked that man and he was saying that it depends on the equipment. When they gave me the selections over and said I could get something for 5.50, we ate that up so fast with the equipment that I thought I was already given but maybe it was my misunderstanding.

He explained very well to my husband and I. He was very specific. He said, "If you don't have money or if you're not comfortable with this package, you can get another desired package."

    The technician explained the system very thorough. He showed me some cool stuff I can do with my phone - look at the cameras and lock the doors. It's pretty cool. I wish I could have got the whole pack, but I didn't have that much money on me. I got one camera, a door lock, a key fob, the glass-break sensor in the back room, and the panel.

    I like the app. It's easier for me to set my alarm and stuff like when I first get home or leave home. Also, I really like the key fob for my mom because she’s an older lady and she is not good with numbers like that anymore. All she's got to do is remember how to push this button and hold it. It's really good for the older generation. ADT coming out with that key fob was really cool and I would like to thank them for helping out the older folks like that. My landlord is fixing to get a system through ADT also.

    Before I got ADT, I hardly left the house and I would just go straight to work and come back home because I was afraid that some people were going to break into my house or something like that. My mom just passed away and she has a lot of valuable stuff, which I felt responsible for. If something happened to it, I’d have been devastated because you can't replace that kind of stuff. Having ADT makes me feel that I could leave the house. I've been able to stay later at work and stuff because I feel like if something happens, they will be Johnny-on-the-spot about it and my stuff would be saved. I feel at peace.

    The ADT sales reps were awesome. The only problem that I encountered was there's no communication between the person who contacts and talks to you first and the person that installs. I was told one thing on the phone, but then when the installer came, he explained something not completely different, but it was slightly different from what they actually told me. I currently have cameras in my house that I installed myself. I was told that I could actually integrate that with the system. Then when they actually did the installment, from all the bells and whistles that I was supposed to have credit, apparently, they put all that into a packet. When the guy came over and did the survey to put the system together, actually, it was more. Instead of 27.99, it was gonna be 57.99 for the payment monthly. I told them, “And I specifically told them that I was going with the 27.99." They said, "Oh, okay. No problem.”

    Other than that, the equipment is great. The system is great. My father-in-law has it also for like more than 10 years. So, those are the things that actually led me to get the system. The system that I got is simple. It's a simple keypad on the wall and the windows and doors from what they actually told me I could get for 27.99.

    I'm a veteran. I retired three years ago, so I was looking for a good system. We used to install those systems like door-breaking noise for our buildings, so I know what I'm talking about. The ADT equipment is state-of-the-art like we used to use long time ago. The problem is that I was told one thing on the phone. I stayed in line like about an hour with someone, talking about the things, and I was asking questions and this and that. Everything was okay.

    I had ADT for quite a while before, and then I moved. I decided to go back with it because it was a pretty good system. The salesperson that came over was really nice. He did this job very well. In about an hour and a half, he was done, which was pretty quick. He knew his stuff. The only thing is that, when I did the contract, I went with the 27.99, and then I went with the warranty for three months. But they never told me that there was tax involved. If they would have told me that, then I might not have gotten it to begin with.

    I called customer service and I tried to explain my situation. The gentleman who was talking to me didn't want to hear anything I had to say about it. He said it is what it is. I then asked if I could speak to a supervisor, and she was just as abrasive as the customer service rep. When I was with ADT before, I was paying 29.99 a month. But I had been with ADT so long, they went down to 23.99 a month for me. I tried to express that to them and she still didn't want anything to do with it. She said the amounts cannot be altered because that's what the corporate rate says it is, and she can't do anything about it. So I was very upset.

    The system features are good. I like that they have different choices now compared to what I had when I first had ADT. They have the standard open and close door. They still have a motion detector. I also got a siren in this time, which I didn't have before. It is a good feature. They have vibration on the glass on the windows, which I never had, but I have now. It's also a good feature.

    The doorbell ring was $300 and I would have loved to have gotten that. I got a credit for 1,350. But with everything that the rep was trying to sell me was almost $5,000. I'm an average guy. I make average money. Even with a 1,350 credit, $5,000 is a lot of money. I couldn’t afford it so I had to opt out. I got the keypad, which is really what I had before with the push buttons. I really wanted the fancy one, but I couldn't afford that either. So I went with the standard push button one, which I'm okay with. Overall, I like the system. We also got the fire alarm that it goes automatically to the fire and the police, which is an awesome feature as well. My wife would leave and didn't shut the door all the way, and they would call right away. So ADT does work.

I just came out of the garage and instead of the sensor picking up the garage door, it says basement door number two. He told us in the beginning that he'd be able to go bypass the old system and hook up the new system but he wasn't able to override it. He made us buy all these door sensors. He put them on the windows first then he took them off and put them on the doors so that we could get notified if somebody was coming in and out the house.

    The initial conversation with them and setting up the appointment was fine. I'm happy with the features of the system. But I'm having an issue with ADT right now. I can't knock the actual service because it's an alarm. You turn it on and off. I'm just frustrated with the customer service part of it. I was with Brinks before and I switched over to ADT. When the technician came out to install our stuff, I told him that I already had a permit for my alarm and that I had already paid the yearly fee to the county of LA. I told him to make sure that they don't submit the permit request on my behalf because I already have one. He did his part as far as making the notes. I did see where he put, “Please do not submit request for permit.” But last Friday, I received the invoice in the mail for almost $45 because they submitted a permit for me.

    I've been calling them and I've talked to four different people. They just keep telling me that, “No,” that they have to submit it on their behalf, and that my old permit was for my old company. I called LA County myself and the permit office told me that that permit is not per alarm company. It's per my residence, per the average. So nobody seems to want to help me at ADT. It's now four days from the day I started leaving voicemails and I still haven't received a call back from them. I even called the technician that installed the stuff. I told him that I have an invoice now but he told me that they were not going to submit a permit in my behalf. He said he was looking at it and that I shouldn't have been billed. He had the notes and he told me he involved his manager. But I still can't get a call back from anybody, which is really unfair. I even have a copy of my receipt that I already paid for my permit.

We're living out here rurally. We’re about 20 minutes or so from Tyler and we have people around us, but still, we needed a little bit of security. ADT is very reputable nationwide which was part of the reason that we went with them instead of a local security system.

    Their customer service stood out. Their professionalism was great. The guy explained step by step what he was doing, how he was doing it, and what he was going to do. He showed us everything we needed to know about the unit. But, if you're going to do some installation, you're going to need some tools. They didn't have a ladder. I have three of them here so it was no problem letting them use it. But they could be a little more professional in that situation. Also, when you try to go through their website, I'm not that dumb on computers but it's not as easy as what they put it out to be.

    The system is good. Between my wife and I, we were smart enough to put it together. But we have one of those doorbell rings put on and the doorbell still isn't working. We've had the unit now for about five days. I called the guy last night and it went to voicemail. I don't expect anybody to jump and call me right back but it took them all day to give me a call back. I had made one other call toward him and I wasn't so nice the second time.

We did the service call and put the deposit down, which was $100, then they run our credit to determine how much equipment we could get. They would then say, “Oh, you have $1,300 in equipment.” The communication between the person who we signed up with and the service provider that was sent out was not really that well because the person that was setting us up told us one thing.

    When the ADT rep came out, he was very polite and he asked permission to do everything. It was pretty wonderful that there was still somebody like that around that wouldn't automatically do something without asking. It was a very wonderful experience getting it all installed and going through the payment process. I like the camera on the doorbell and the camera I put in the back. But the doorbell would go off. And it doesn't sound like the full doorbell. I called yesterday and the rep did some troubleshooting with me. I pulled it off and he told me to charge it for about an hour. I charged it all night and when I put it back, it would still go off. Also, a couple of days after I got it installed, I saw that there was a promotion for a $100 gift card. I was just wondering if that was included in mine.

    It was pleasant and informative dealing with the rep when I signed up with ADT. There's a backyard camera that still needs to be installed though. The guy didn’t finish and I'm not sure when that will get installed. But other than that, it was good. I'm moderately satisfied in the package that I got and the only thing that wasn't included was the doorbell camera.

    The customer service guy I talked to on the phone was a manager. We went over different things that was available and he explained to me I would get this and I would get that. I even wrote down exactly everything he said that I was going to get. He made it sound like everything I was getting would be included and I wouldn't have to pay anything other than $99. I even asked if I had to pay anything else. He said that would be all I would have to pay and then I would get a Visa card for $100, which I understood. By the time the installer came here, he explained everything to me and I still had to pay money for the equipment. The installer left with $99 plus 500 and something on my card. I wanted ADT's service, so I was somewhat okay with that.

    I was a little disappointed that I didn't know that things were going to cost as much, but even if I called and said something, ADT wasn't going to give me equipment that cost $1,500 for nothing. That man could have come all the way out here, started setting up stuff, talking to us and then when he came to say, "Well, this is how much it is," I could have looked at him and said, "I wasn't told that. I don't have $1,500." He would have had to leave with nothing. He would have also lost all his time, probably his commission or service call and then had to go on to his next one.

    I have three payments of over $500, which I wasn't expecting. That had nothing to do with the installer though. The guy was great. He was here when he said he was going to be. It took about the amount of time that he told me it was going to take. He explained to me everything he was doing before he did it. He gave me options on the different places to put the cameras. He asked me and my husband of what we thought as far as input on where he was going to put the cameras or what our needs were, which was really big. I didn't want him just to come in and put them where he wanted. I had an idea of where I wanted things and then he told me whether they would work or not. The guy knew exactly what he was doing and he was very pleasant and professional. He explained everything thoroughly and he gave me a brochure. He also gave me a number to call him back if I had any questions or problems.

    I like the features the system has, but I wish the panel board had something other than just a blue display. My other system had different pictures that was displayed. Also, our home is in a secluded area and I like the service of the camera because I can check my camera inside or outside. I travel many weeks out of the year into different states and countries. I need to be able to look and see that my home is being protected when it needs to be protected, so I appreciate the service. However, if the situation gets to where I don't feel comfortable or I'm not getting the coverage that I want, then I would find something else. I switched from another company that I had been with for almost nine years to come to ADT.

    I still have a contract with the other company and I'm still paying it, but I left them because I wasn't getting the service and quality that I was expecting to get or was promised. When I called the other company on more than one occasion, I had to wait over 20 minutes to get assistance and that's not acceptable. My husband and I are up an age and that wait could have been detrimental. I could have had something happen, especially now, when you've got COVID and someone stops breathing. If I hit a panic alarm and nobody responds to me, that was not going to work. Somebody could have come in and taken all the stuff, and I would have not been able to do something. If I'm paying for a service, I expect it to be there.

    The email from ADT that I got said there was $850 worth of free equipment and the fee is $27 a month.

I'm fairly new on it but I've already had to call tech support three days ago because it kept saying low battery on my tablet. They told me I had to reset it - unplug it from the wall, let it sit for a little while, and then plug it back in. Also, my doorbell camera was not working and I had to reset that. Now, I'm trying to find out how to fix something but I don't know who to call. I’ve been trying to call customer service and couldn’t get ahold of anybody.

    We just bought this brand new home. I've had this system installed two weeks ago. However, it didn't work right out the gate. As soon as everybody left, we had problems. Our problem was with the walk-in garage door, which is not attached to the home so the panel is all the way to the front of the house. And this is all the way to the back of the house. We've had a couple guys come out and tried to fix it. It looked like it was working, but it wasn't.

    The last fellow that came out said, "Hey, I've got this system. And I got a barn farther than your garage and it still works.” He said there is some kind of interference, was trying to reach the panel. But they were very nice and were doing their jobs the best they could. Both of the guys that were here were good. It was just some anomaly, the way it was connecting to that door that just it was fine when he was here, then it started beeping in the middle of the night. Nobody opened the door. It was still shut. And it just said it wasn't sensing the connection. But other than that, we just said, "You know what? We're just gonna take it off of there, so we don't have to deal with it anymore." Everything else that they have done on the house is fine.

    My biggest complaint is if you need to get ahold of somebody because you have a problem, you're on hold forever. It's very annoying. I would hang up, call back, and be on hold forever. Nobody ever answers the phone. I don't have time to be on hold forever. And the guy told me that they couldn't give me their numbers personally.

The one thing I wasn't pleased about was in the initial sales call, they had kinda quoted me what I would be paying in terms of the install and then what I'd be paying by a month. I was caught off guard with the initial quotation when the technician came out saying that it would be $3,000. I was like, "Wait, that never came up in the initial sales call." There seemed to be a disconnect between the salesperson and the actual technician. We ended up paying $400 at the end of the day for all the stuff that we got, but upfront, I didn't think I'd be paying any of that. I thought it was just the $99 install and then the monthly. Other than that, it's been pretty good.

    I initiated the call with the sales rep, which is when we scheduled the appointment for the service tech to meet us last Monday. The service tech was good. When he came in, he spent two hours before he said, "Hey, this is what I recommend for you," which I thought took a while. We wanted a simple system and he was trying to upsell us on a bunch of other things that we didn't want. He was a young guy who was trying his best and I fully understand what he was trying to do. However, I said no three times. I was almost to the point of kicking him out.

    To begin with, we saw the advertisement for the system that said $850 worth of equipment, free installation, with a $27 a month monitoring cost, and the free Visa card. That's the reason why we called. I ended up having to pay $100 first in order to have the service tech come in and then we bought $350 worth of extras by the time we’re also done, which is fine. When he first came up with the numbers though, it was $4,000 worth of extras. I was like, "You gotta be kidding me." I also haven't seen anything about when the $100 free Visa card would be coming, but I see the charges already coming through.

    The other thing is that the advertisement was a little misleading. We were told that that $27 was if you had a phone line. Nobody has a phone line anymore. Everyone's got cell phones, so we have to pay $53 a month. They have the cell phone option, which was a bit of a surprise. The service tech did an excellent job of explaining to us that part of it. The only negative experience I had was with trying to do the upsell. Our house is not more than $200,000.

    ADT is a great company and the sales reps were good. The equipment was expensive and the rep told me that they sometimes offer promotions and they could come back out once I'm ready to purchase the equipment. I was able to get some of the things that I wanted now. Everything was cleaned up the way I had it before when the techs came out to install. So, he cleaned up well, and he was very knowledgeable. He helped me out with learning about the system. He did a great job.

    ADT's installer was very professional. He came in, analyzed the house, what we had to offer, and then gave suggestions on what he would put in. I elected what I wanted from his suggestions, and then he went to work, installed it and then demonstrated how to use the system. I'm very satisfied so far. It's been a great experience from contact to installation.

    ADT’s monitoring is usually always better than self-monitoring or the monitoring from other countries. I like being able to access everything with my phone, and being able to control it with my Alexa is pretty nice. When I initially signed up, they made the deal sound really good, where I could get up to a few couple thousand dollars in equipment for free, which is what happened. But nobody mentioned that the install price would go up with that. I wasn't aware of that until the tech got here. With the $99 package that I was expecting to get with $2,000 worth of equipment, I didn't realize that I didn't get that $2,000 worth of equipment unless the install price went up to $500. Other than that, everything else is great.

    We had a security company already and I wasn't happy with it. We came to find out we weren't even being monitored. When I subscribed to cable, they told me that Spectrum had something going on with ADT. Where I worked years ago, they had ADT and I used it, so I was familiar with it. One system is similar to what we had and I was looking for the doorbell camera. We got the other system with the doorbell camera and we're satisfied with it. Its price is comparable to what I had as well. I like the doorbell camera so far, but I wish I could have had some better explanation of how things worked, like how the doorbell camera works. I got it programmed to where it automatically turns on at 11 o'clock at night and unlocks the door at 7 o'clock in the morning. We haven't set the system off yet and that's a good thing.

    I'm unhappy with the whole ADT system. I set up for this probably close to a month ago. I said I needed to talk to my wife first. We couldn't just make an appointment to install because I wanted her there to decide where things go and what things would look like. We agreed that they’d give me a month to set up an appointment and I got text messages every day reminding me that I needed to make this appointment. I also got phone calls three or four times for the same reason. That was frustrating and she described it to them as bullying. She's all stressed out over that and she'd much rather have waited until after the new year to do all this and I was constrained to that one month time thing.

    We got the camera system and she didn't like the cameras or how they looked. I don't like how the cameras work. They weren't what I imagined they were supposed to be. They told me they work at night so you could see things in the yard. The guy was telling me it's kind of like entertainment. He installed them and that night, we were looking at them as he was installing them and you can't see anything. He said that's because it's infrared. So he went outside and I could barely see him four feet from the camera but what other camera he was gonna put up would have never showed anything at night so it didn’t make any sense.

    The installation guy and I decided we would install the panel in the living room because there was a power outlet and he told me it was required that we have a power outlet. When I told my wife about it, she didn't understand what I was talking about. When they installed the power outlet there, she hates that it's there and thinks it should be in the foyer where there isn't a power outlet. But that doesn't matter to her. So she's unhappy with that. She doesn't like the look of the sensors on the windows at all and felt like she should have had choices. She is really upset with the whole thing. She called the company today and they're sending me an email which I've gotta sign and fax. They’re gonna give me my money back on the system and they're going to come remove it.

    We decided on ADT over SimpliSafe. Why? Because ADT has a long reputation for good work and reliable service. We had a system with a company that was bought by SAFE Security then Safe was bought by A3. We've had a security system in the house and in the upgrading of the wireless in the world from 3G to 5G, some security systems are telling their customers they're going to have to upgrade their panel (their service inside the house). A3 was going to charge us $150, which is not small. We haven't been ecstatically happy with A3 even though we've been their customers and if we're going to have to pay money to upgrade anyway, my husband and I decided to look into something else and see if we can invest that money in something new that might be better.

    One of the things we decided on that made ADT preferable to SimpliSafe was the system is very much like the one we have -- the motion sensors and the panel on the wall. It seemed like a good idea to go with a similar thing rather than a whole new thing. We also wanted our program upgraded from 3G to 5G and ADT has that. My advice is if your company is saying they're going to charge you for new equipment to upgrade your system from 3G to 5G, consider investing that money in a new and better system with ADT. Our system was installed and all the rest is the same, except we also got the glass breaking alarm. We hadn't had that before and I'd heard about it from SimpliSafe.

    ADT is great. They would notice if the system was off or somehow not hooking up right and they would see to it, whether it was by calling us or doing it at their end. Every month, I had to go through eight steps in order to make sure the system is working with the front door, back door, and motion detectors. It was a pain in the neck, but now, we don't have to check our security system every month to make sure it's still communicating. We had to initiate that and I like the fact that ADT is going to be responsible for making sure the system is working. All in all, ADT has high standards and it's a good buy. There are different companies that use ADT functions and they can advertise as ADT companies because they live up to their standards.

    I used to be an ADT customer like 10 years ago. Years ago, we purchased our second home. We had called and got their services. When we bought another home, I sold that home now because everything that's going on right now, I'm a little bit concerned of my family's safety. Everybody's acting crazy right now. We decided to arm the house again. During that process, I remembered that ADT had great customer service and they were reasonable with their prices. At that time, I was paying like $45 a month. I went ahead and I contacted them again to get their services again for my home.

    I ended up really liking their rep. I love the system. It's great. When the tech came and installed it, I was on medical leave because I had hurt my back. I'm calling Aflac to see if I could get my money from the days I was off on leave because I want to call ADT to add more stuff to my house. I want to save up for the cameras. I got one above the garage. I love it.

    ADT is the best. I came back. I had left, but it was just because we had to move from that neighborhood and we didn't need it at the other house. I did get Vivint when we first bought that house because people were stealing stuff. It was during the market crash and they were stealing stuff in the homes, and I couldn't get anybody. The only reason I didn't go with ADT that day was because they couldn't come that same day, and I needed to protect that house at night and when we closed.

    I was not happy with Vivint's service. I was unsatisfied. They weren't able to work with me. We get paid every 15 to 30 days a month. That was a big thing to me and they weren't able to work with me. I canceled it. They refused to cancel my service. I went to the bank and I changed my bank account. Then, I did ADT, and that was one of the things that I had asked them. They said, "Absolutely. When you make that first payment," which I did, but I'm going to call them tomorrow and I'm going to change my due date. I had no problem with ADT. They were always great. Another thing that I like about their company was that when we set up that payment arrangement, that was the exact payment arrangement. I love that about ADT.

    Based on what I was told before the installer arrived, I was completely lied to on a recorded line. Nothing was upheld to what I was told that I was going to get. It wasn’t a good experience with the ADT sales rep. I was told that I was going to be able to get a smart home with upgraded front door lock that I can access from my phone and an upgraded thermostat. I was gonna get two cameras at no additional costs. I was also told that after I paid my $100 to schedule the appointment, I wouldn't have to come out of pocket for anything else. I had to pick the highest subscription or monthly cost of $58 and that would cover all of my equipment that I was getting. So, I budgeted according to that and didn't shop around. I was told something completely different when the installer arrived so I ended up getting the bare minimum of things on my doors and my windows. The installer was good but the experience because of that was unacceptable.

    ADT has a good reputation and I've always seen them. I was just with another company ever since ’06, and I'm like, “Dude, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.” But this company had changed hand about four times and the customer service was just not up to my standards or my feeling for me paying for a service and not getting it. So that was what made me change. ADT was my next choice.

    The first call didn't go well though, and I cancelled the service because the price and different things weren't explained to me correctly. I explained what I wanted. But as I called back and talked with someone else the second time, the manager was able to assist me, got everything that I needed and got the technician out. He went over everything with me and installed everything. I upgraded and bought more service and products than I originally had ordered because of the way he handled it and explained to me. It was in a professional way and in a way that I could understand. I would suggest that from the first call until the final step, it should be transparent. It should be explained with the utmost of understanding. They should follow protocol. And if they can't answer a question, they should carry it to a higher level that can.

I was looking it up, reviewing it and seeing which one gives you better service, because even though other companies do it, you gotta do it yourself. We don't have the time and all these extra things that you need to get it done and do it right. So, the person coming, speaking to us about the plan, on what we could adjust, and him going on site and doing all of that is the added benefit. Other people, they would do it and if it doesn't work properly, they still leave, but he made sure that everything was working. He taught us how to use everything before he left.

    I like the doorbell. Closing the door with my phone is so cool. So, whenever my mom was at work and she pulls up the door, usually we would just send my little son, who's five, to close the door. Now we don’t have to do that. I have a newborn. So, when I have him in my arms, I can’t pull it all the way off. Then, if my mom has too many bags in her hands and she pulls it off, I would just send my son to close the deadbolt. Now, I just use the phone and press it and it closes the door.

    With the new panels, the person who came made sure to go through all that. I like how they set it up. I like that he talked to me about everything. I like him sitting down, breaking everything down to make sure that we knew what we're getting into before we did it. The experience was really good. Starting from the phone call that I did the day before Thanksgiving. They got really great customer service, which is always something that is very hard to find these days with so many issues going on in the world.

    The tech did a good job. He came out and did what he was supposed to do. He recommended stuff I didn’t even think about. So he brought stuff to my awareness. The system makes me feel a little safer because I'm usually at work. You can’t put a price on the safety of your family. So I feel good about it. I like it.

    We were in a new neighborhood. So, we thought it would feel good to be protected. Everyone at ADT has been great so far. The system seems to be functioning well. It’s a great service and I feel a lot safer. It's like a burden that I don't have to worry about when I sleep or leave the house.

    I had a really great experience with the sales rep of ADT. The tech that came out was a really cool guy and he was good. My kids got along with him.
