Impossible customer service Can't log in to MyADT because it wont take my passwords, and it wont send me a password reset via email. I also can't remember my verbal password so it's impossible to access anything. I called and the guy walked me through everything as if I was extremely dumb which resulted in me staring at a login screen which I can't log into. They won't just reset my password, and they've increased the monthly payment twice now. I want to cancel, too but it's a whole ordeal and I'm stuck in this contract for two years now.

Their equipment and service is garbage Their equipment is garbage, customer service not much better. You can’t understand what 1/2 of them are staying and whenever there is an equipment issue, they just pass you off to another associate who also can’t help and so you get passed to someone else and on and on! It’s a joke!

In my opinion, ADT Security has not provided the level of security service or administrative service they should. My experience with ADT Security has not provided me with a great deal of confidence in their service, or that they would actually provide the home security and medical emergency services that they claim to provide. They "mistakenly" actually cancelled my security service, then backtracked to claim that I had upgraded the service when I did not. Then they billed me twice "by mistake" once for almost $3,000 once and $700 a second time, when my payments are made automatically billed to my credit card and I have written proof that all payments were made in compliance with my ADT contract. All of this does not inspire confidence that I can depend on ADT for competent help in an actual home security or health emergency. Does anyone from ADT actually read these reviews? Is ADT going to wake up and provide the level of service they claim to? Does ADT actually care about anything besides taking your money from you? Extremely concerned and very disappointed ADT customer

ADT 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.

This 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.
