I'm still with Vivint for now, but it hasn't been an easy journey. In the time I've been with Vivint I've had so many outages that required me to wait multiple days without internet to get a technician to my house. I've only survived because I used my phone as a hotspot...

I live in El Paso, TX and I don’t recommend vivint. Their internet is unreliable and refuse to give you credit for all the days you have no internet.

I switched to spectrum and couldn’t be happier. I regret not getting spectrum before.

Lies over parts replaced and upgraded

1.0
Service rep in my area, came to my house. Was saying I needed an upgrade, we had once before. Two door Sensors didnt work, so they needed replaced, new ring doorbell, inside control then. He made a few calls, said payments 5 mths $65 then drop back to $55. Wrong, billing $260 for 5 months. I said get it out of my house!

Pros
  • Looks like it is highly rated based on tech
Cons
  • Unprofessional door to door solicitation
Preferred solution
Contact from company, apology, repercussions to solicitors who were rude and unprofessional, and to never be visited at my home by any representative from the company again.

Unprofessional interaction on phone

I have never had such poor customer service from any organization. It is so disheartening when you think you are suppose to get help instead you are been treated like you are optional especially when that is suppose to be your responsibility. Such insensitive and I dont care attitude shouldnt be showcase no matter your excuse. I am really disappointed with the kind of customer service I got from the billing department when my call was transferred to speak to someone who was suppose to either help or give me the right information or direct me in a respectful manner.

I want Vivint to either honor the 30 day trial that their sales rep promised that we would get to try out the service so that we can cancel immediately or pay the $1000 maximum buyout and discount our equipment by $425.00

Scammers

I signed up with Vivint, they "upgraded" my camera in 2020, when I mentioned it was the same camera, the installer stated it was an upgrade, We moved in July 2021, and live in a different state. They have been billing me 75 dollars a month since. I just got off the phone with Vivint, that said I still owe them $4500 for the upgrade!!! They are SCAMMERS in disguise!!!!stay away from Vivint

User's recommendation: Stay away from Vivint.

UNETHICAL PRACTICES AS FAR AS UPGRADING YOUR SYSTEM

unable to sign in to my account added camera to my back told i would pay for the camera in installment with monthly pay now cannot they are telling me they cant approve payment plan the plan was 3monthly payments then changed to 5 payments now they are telling me that i was not eligable for the 5 paymedts the camera is already installed thats poor business practices i will file a complaint with the BBB

User's recommendation: IF UPGRADING PAY FOR YOUR UPGRADING UPFRONT A VERY GOOD SYSTEM HAS SOME FLAWS NEEDS TO BE FIXED WHY INSTALL A CAMER IF NOT APPROVRED FOR PAYMENT [PLAN.

I have had nothing but *** luck with Vivint. The customer service at times, I might as well be talking to a wall.

ThI'm very very dissatisfied with this company. I'm half tempted to just close up my bank account. They have been of no help even if people getting in. What a security system. The camera doorbell. A piece of junk. People get past it. I wouldn't even go with this company. This is the second time that I went with them but never again. I just kept my other equipment seeing how they don't give you anything for it. And they said that it was outdated.T

User's recommendation: Think twice before you sign on. The worst mistake. Should have went with AT&T.

Horrible Customer Service

Technician was supposed to come install the system between the 4 hour block of 0800-12noon. Not a call. Received a call at 12:46pm that technician was arriving in 30 min.No wonder they have horrible reviews. DO NOT USE VIVINT. NOT RECOMMENDED.

User's recommendation: DO NOT USE VIVINT.

Unable to cancel service

We moved from a home in Fort Worth, TX to a high-rise condo in Denver. Vivint is not an option in the new high-rise. We cancelled service in November 2021, and I have an email of that transaction. However, Vivint continues to bill us each month. I have called customer service and sent a letter to the president showing the email and explaining that the rep who sold us the service said we could cancel if we moved and the new address did not allow Vivint service. To no avail.

User's recommendation: Do not sign up for this service. It's not that great and the only goal of the company seems to be to upsell you on more expensive equipment. Plus you can never cancel for any reason.
