Mcbonio Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Ok alarm all sorted, Sixwheeledbeast was right, the tampers needed resetting on the wireless devices. The only thing I was doing wrong was being too impatient with them, they take ages to initialize with the control panel. I left it for an hour it then allowed me to arm and disarm which cleared all errors. Rip off merchants ADT no longer have me over a barrel... Also, pretty shoddy information from user 'Al-Yeti'. He sounded just like the other rip off alarm fitters I spoke to today, making out it was a massive job, desperate to charge for a tiny bit of information. If you don't want to share information, why are you posting on a public forum? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) That's great, so you come on a forum, ignore the rules by posting defaulting info, get free info to fix your system, then thanks us by slagging off one of our members. You were happy to pay into the hands of 'rip off' Estate Agents, Conveyancers and Surveyors on your 2 week old 'rip off' house, but then when you didn't want to pay for an alarm service because ADT were a 'rip off' too. Enjoy your 'rip off' 2 weeks away - don't make too many calls on your 'rip off' smartphone or rev your 'rip off' car too much! Merry Christmas!

Mcbonio Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Why is it unreasonable to not want to be attached to an 18 month contract just so I can operate my alarm system without ADT.? Sounds like you could do with a vacation chap. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today we offered to attend a system done 13yrs ago by us & not maintained for way, for way less than your ADT figure but was still way way too dear... in fact there's been a no. callers this week amazed we don't drive around the county looking at stuff for free or advise over the telephone how to repair there system Edited December 9, 2017 by MrHappy 1 Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it unreasonable for a service provider to want an agreement in place to offer support of a particular kind? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you sorted it Mcboner but the information given by Al-Yeti was correct and concise imo, ADT are a premium provider with large overheads so yes you can have it carried out cheaper, just as you can have a mate change your spark plugs and diagnose a fault with a £9.99 OBD reader but it's hardly the same as booking it into a main dealer.
