Account Cancelled vs. Subscription Cancelled...

I called today to have my Simplisafe monitoring subscription cancelled.  Now, everything is gone.  I have no access to anything in my Simplisafe system on the web or on my smartphone app.  Is that what should happen?  I didn't think my entire account would be cancelled.

Hi @john_mccullough, 

I'm sorry to hear about this! When you called in to cancel your subscription, it sounds like the agent accidentally cancelled your account instead of downgrading you to our free Basic App Control plan. To remedy this, an agent will need to reactivate your account under this free plan. If you reach out to our Support team, they will be able to do this.

My daughter just moved from her apt and is temporarily living w me. We paused services for couple of months but she still has not found a new job/place. I just got billed!! The customer service rep was not to kind and didn't offer any assistance other than you have to pay the bill.  How do I cancel account then so I dont keep getting billed. Can I renew it in the future?

Please help me!

Yes they did the same to me. The customer service team is horrible. They don't listen and just keep talking over you all the time. What a waste of time

Wow that is not good!  Seems like their customer service is lacking in that department and also not contacting billing to discontinue!  Not a good look for SimpliSafe!

It probably does get you talking to retention a 2nd time though doesn't it? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿง๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿซฃ

Happens enough per the forum complaints. Training can't be that awful.

Quite simple and courteous to ask a customer to clarify if downgrading to basic or if completely cancelling your account.

Of course the retention agents aren't your friends.

And I could be wrong. Maybe they just push the wrong button, multiple times... repeatedly... ๐Ÿฅด

Sorry but this sounds like a common issue when people cancel and at that time the customer service rep should inform you of the "Basic Service" and set it up at their end.  Rather rude for them to not inform you and also shouldn't be canceled until the end of the billing cycle since you pay in advance!

I never wanted a monitoring system.  Only want some advance notification for my wife when she is home alone so she can arm herself.  I am now certain that I do not want monitoring.  I've only had the system a couple of days and it seems that all service is aimed at selling me a service.  Even the keypad tells me every time I touch it that I have no link to dispatch.  Light wont go out on base station even though keypad says it is turned off.  Trying to purchase a key fob whey you don't have monitoring is a bizarre experience.  Very disappointed with SimpliRipoff.  I am contacting the review sources that made me give SS a try how off they are.  I suppose those review sources are run by SS.

@juauge97 If you are using your SimpliSafe system unmonitored, a No Link to Dispatcher error means that the Base Station is not connected to WiFi. We recommend checking out the No Link to Dispatcher Warning guide in our Help Center, as it will take you through step-by-step troubleshooting to reconnect your Base Station to your network. 

 

And what light do you see on your Base Station? If it's a blue light that's only on the back of the Base Station, that is the Wall Power Light. The Wall Power Light turns on to show that the Base Station is has a successful connection to power. But if you see a yellow light on the Base Station, that would be its Trouble Light. This light appears when the Base Station detects a potential issue with your system - like when there is a No Link to Dispatcher error. 

 

Both lights can be turned off on the Keypad by navigation to Menu > enter your Master PIN > System Settings and then toggle to Wall Power Light or Trouble Light.
