Ripoff Report Verified REVIEW:

EDitors UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to APX Alarm for its commitment to excellence in customer service.

Ripoff Reports discussions with the company have uncovered an ongoing commitment to total customer satisfaction. You can expect to have any questions or concerns that you have with them to be answered and resolved in a timely manner. They have shown us their customer service process, and it reflects a desire to serve customers, as well as fix problems.

The company's management specifically told us about how their job is to simplify lives and help people to live intelligently. The management really wants every person who buys a system to feel valued. The concern for each customer's experience starts at the top, and is reflected in the action of every employee they hire.

The company also works to monitor their sales and customer support calls to see how they can be improved. They use these calls as examples for employees in training. Currently, Vivint is working to make changes to their contracts to make things easier for their customers as they have found that many of their complaints stem from feeling misled or customers paid fees they did not feel they authorized.

I have had nothing but good experiences with APX

AUTHOR: Tammy - (Canada)

POSTED: Thursday, July 24, 2008

I am not a former employee of APX nor do I have any connection to this company, other than the fact that I am a customer of APX. A satisfied and happy customer of APX.

I have been reading through the complaints for this company and would like to say that I do not understand all the discontent with this company. The whole point is..."You do not get ANYTHING in life for FREE"...

A house had been broken into on our street. One evening, my husband and I were enjoying our dinner when we had an APX sales rep knock at our door. At first, I was going to turn him away. However, after hearing that the connection and equipment were free, I decided to allow him to give us his sales spew.

I have a cellphone. I know that even though the company advertises a "FREE" cellphone with a new contract, they still expect you to pay monthly service charges. If you decide to opt out of the contract before it is up, you pay a charge for that. That charge is usually to cover the cost of the "free" cellphone that they gave you intially. If you do keep your contract for the time period of validation, then the cellphone was truely free. Same this with APX. For signing up in a new CONTRACT with the company, you get the installation and equipment for "FREE". Provided you stay with that contract for the specificed time period, you never pay for that installation or equipment. If cellphone companies can do it, why can't they.

By going with APX, we have saved over 2000 in connection,installation and equipment charges. 49.99 a month plus our 5.00 cell unit connection fee is well worth the security we are offered.

And yes, this company does monitor it's alarms. One morning, my husband couldn't get the alarm turned off. The company called promptly and asked for our security pass.

I have also heard many people say that they didn't know that the alarm was rendered useless if the phone lines were cut. To be frank, this only makes logical sense. If anything is running through the phone line, and the line is cut...of course nothing is going to work...That is why we opted for the cellphone connection. You can not cut through air...lol

I think my word of advice is...Sales men like to make money and feed their families...listen carefully to what they say...does it make sense? If not, then maybe think twice about obtaining their services. Do research on the company, read the contract BEFORE you sign it. Do a monthly budget to make sure you can afford all the service charges. Call your local police department and ask them if they have heard of this alarm company. Think before you sign and make sure this is something you really want in your home....
