I had an issue with my alarm system sensor 4/30. Customer service representative help me get a tech out to my house but nothing was resolved. Before leaving the tech informed me that he wanted to order new parts but never came, no follow-up call was ever made. Waited about 2 weeks to see if I would get a call, nothing. Called back 5/21 and spoke to Blent (GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE). He was very sympathetic and apologetic. Blent's willingness to help my issues was like a breath of fresh air. Being in customer service myself, I know exactly how it feels on the other side when customers are mad and screaming. Please thank Blent for his great service!!!

I called your number and was told that it has to be entered into my system...duh...how did I know that!!! Would be nice if your person from whom I ordered it would have just said, "Now, Ms. **, your new ONE will have to be entered into your system. So, as soon as you receive it, call us and we will do that for you. And then, it will work." Of course I had to use my phone, and when I came into my house, the phone was in my purse. And by the time I found it, the alarm was screaming at me. All that confusion could have been eliminated if only you would, in some way, inform us old women or men that this has to be done before the new thingy will work. What do you think?

Support was great. No problems. Person (lady) was well trained. Suggestion - keypad needs a louder sound so you can hear when doors are opened. Old system had same problems. ADT system which I had before changing to LifeShield was loud enough to hear throughout the house. You should provide an add on beeper or something.

I received an email from your company stating that I needed to reset my Duress Code. I tried to do this online, following the directions in the email, but was not able to do so unless I disarmed the system. I did not want to do so. So I called and got a lovely woman named Emily, who was able to reset the Duress Code for me over the telephone. I was very pleased with how quickly she resolved the problem.
On a separate issue, I asked her if I could order additional window decal stickers. She said yes, for a cost of $2.00, plus $10 for postage. I was quite shocked at this company policy. Put them in an envelope and attach a 49 cent stamp. We have ADT Home Security for our main home, and I recently ordered four (4) additional window stickers AND two (2) new yard signs to replace ones damaged by snow plows this winter. There was NO CHARGE AT ALL. Your company needs to review this policy.

I'm very frustrated with the system itself, no one on my house likes this system. The sensors have fell more than one time, the panel on the wall is a cheap piece of plastic, the pad never works. I can't set up the alarm other than bypassing the sensors. There is always issues... The beeping to set the alarm is so loud and ever worst because it can't be adjust. It's my worst experience ever with alarm system. Will never recommend this system. Poor system, poor installation. It was my worst decision ever to changed to LifeShield. The operator was very nice though.

I could not activate my system from my phone because it continued to ask for my user name and password which I could not remember and was not in a place where I could readily get to it. The young lady that assisted me was OUTSTANDING. I believe her name was Ashley. As for the way you handle updates there is a lot to be desired. I received an email telling me to check for updates prior to 3/15 which I did. They system did not show any so I assumed all was well. NOT SO. To compound the problem the system is at our vacation home we were at our full time residence hence the problem manifested. Thanks to the work of this young lady. All has been rectified.

I was very satisfied with the representative who carefully answered my question by phone yesterday. I think his name was Allen. I have not been satisfied with the equipment provided by LifeShield, and was happy to switch to the company, AT&T Digital Life, that has purchased your company. My tablet screen cracked without being dropped or mishandled. My key fob fell apart after being dropped and it also cracked. Two of my door sensors kept going offline. Eventually I began bypassing the one on my exit door because the alarm would go off a few seconds after I left. One time it stayed on for two hours with my cat in the house. It was traumatizing to her and I hope it did not injure her hearing. I would not recommend LifeShield to a friend.

I enjoyed Lifeshield. The best thing about Lifeshield is they call you immediately if an alarm is alarming. The worst thing about Lifeshield is I often had disconnected or undetected sensors when we did nothing to it. But I really like my services.

Received a call from "Rick". He informed me that he had checked with Tunkhannock Township and that they required a permit to have LifeShield service. The cost would be twenty dollars. I informed "Rick" that I did not live in the Township and that I lived in the Borough where no permit is needed. He politely informed me that he would check with local authorities. He called back a short while later and apologized for the error. This man was polite, professional and took his job seriously. I commend him for his efficient search to the correct answer to LifeShield's incorrect assumption. I hope you will pass my positive input back to him. I would like him to know that his efforts are appreciated. I installed the LifeShield equipment myself. It was sent to me in the mail, so it is my efforts that got your system up and running. I had no help other than the directions given in the package containing the base, sensors, etc.

I called March 10th, and customer service accepted my request to disconnect, and I paid $110 to do so as my contract was not complete. My system however did NOT get disconnected, so I had to call back yesterday, March 15th (first reached tech support who then transferred me to a specialist) who did finally disconnect my service. Both tech support and the specialist were very nice, very helpful. I do want to say however that whenever I have called Customer Service (several times over the last 3 years) they never get the information to other departments, they don't follow through or seem to do what is requested. They are a weak link in the LifeShield company. Sorry to share this but it's true.

So if I move to a house with a system, I have to cancel my contract and lose money rather than just transfer it to the new buyer and they can enjoy the safety and comfort of your system.
