GBWorst company ever Worst company ever! Bought the most expensive system 11 months ago. Nothing but problems. Multiple service calls and techs coming out (that I get charged for!). We finally turned the system off and it STILL alarms in the middle of the night. Had a house sitter here while on vacation and the system drove her crazy. ADT refuses to give me my money back and pick up their system. Going to refer this to my attorney.

GBWONDERFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE! Today April 4,2024 I spoke to an ADT tech named Matthew. He was so amazing. We had a service call for our cameras this morning; however, the notifications on my phone was not fixed. So I called ADT and spoke to Matthew. A WONDERFUL KIND RESPECTFUL GENTLEMAN WHO KNEW HIS STUFF. HE DID NOT MISS A BEAT AND MY NOTIFICATIONS ARE RIGHT ON!!! If I could I would give him a million stars. It took him a while but he never got tired of helping me. Thats what you call GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! THANK YOU MATTHEW. PENNY MADDOX SMITH SHELBY NC.

GBNo moral compass and terrible customer service I read other bad reviews and I totally agree that this company has no moral compass and horrible customer service. I have called so many times and escalated my complaints and it is a joke. They took advantage of my 88 year old mother who has macular degeneration and not able to execute a contract . I put a security system in my mom’s house and I was told it would be about 600.00 . I did add 3 nest cameras. The installer ended up putting in 21 window contacts and totally oversold my mom. I was doing errands locally and I asked him to call me when he was close to finishing. He never called and just left. The installation came to 2700.00 and my mom did not sign a contract. My copy had a black X under her name . I am my mom’s POA and I told him I needed to go over this. He turned in a contract with a forged signature. I started a fraud process 5 months ago and each time they promise to get to the bottom of this. This is such a despicable company that would take advantage of an elderly person that can’t see and has hearing issues and tries to pretend she could sign a contract . I will not give up because of the principle of it. I just wanted to warn others about these contracts- be careful about the oversell and lack of accountability.

GBADT specializes in locking you into a plan and forgetting about you. Ever hearse of the term "lock in." it's what keeps companies like ADT in business. They're banking on the fact that when you spend so much to have one of these alarm systems installed, it's very difficult and expensive for you to switch to another provider, which means you'll generally remain a customer, no matter how bad the service is. And as others have noted, it is awful. They recently sent a freelance contractor out to replace the wireless system panel in the basement from 3G to a more up-to-date cell communication method. He botched it and a few days later, all the alarms started going off at once. I called ADT and they said they saw nothing wrong on their end and that they could send someone out in a few weeks to take a look. They could literally hear the alarms blaring in the background (the decibel level was horrific, and I had to go around and rip the wires from the units to silence them). Then I kept getting calls from an ADT system over and over saying that there appeared to be something wrong and to call them. A few weeks later a technician came and acknowledged that the guy had screwed up the installation. They redid it. Then recently I had a problem with one of the smoke detectors and a technician came and said I should order replacement batteries from ADT because I was on the free battery replacement plan. This had been the case for years (25 to be exact). But when I called ADT they said the plan did not cover batteries (which cost $18 apiece -- not exactly cheap). Previously, I had spoken to a customer service agent to set up the appointment, and they too said I was covered under the battery plan. So now two representatives from ADT have said I'm covered and one said I was not. How bad is ADT's computer system that you get such different answers? Also, when I do replace batteries myself, the alarm goes off but I don't hear anything from ADT. They used to call to make sure there wasn't a problem. Now, nothing. This company is horrible.

GBThis company is absolutely horrible… This company is absolutely horrible never sign up with them. Their service is impossible to cancel. The phone agents openly lie about their ability to cancel things and claim they need to send you to another department. Then they basically hope you will give up after a couple hours on hold. Their price has increased steadily for the past several years and it is flat out not worth it anymore. When exploring security companies overlook this one and go another you will be doing yourself a bit favor.
