Terrible Customer Service

have searched for a better forum to discuss this topic such as a direct email or complaint contact number, but I’m unable to locate one in a timely manner. So, here it is…

I spent three hours on the chat with technical support this morning to discuss an issue. During this time the individual was apparently not reading/understanding the entirety of my issue. The conversation continued and devolved to the point where the representative told me twice that I was unable to perform a function with my system(the issue at hand) that I had been using for over three years. 

While ending the text conversation, I called customer service and spent another thirty minutes on the phone addressing the issue. 

SimpliSafe has a fix they are attempting despite it not being the logical solution. At this point I feel as though SimpliSafe puts no value in the time of the customer when resolving issues.

Hi @jrcowan90, 

I'm sorry to hear about this, this is not the experience we want you to have. I've escalated your case details to our Specialist team, a senior agent will reach out to you soon to make sure that you're taken care of.

I totally agree. All I wanted to know was how to open a sensor, that's it. I told her my name & email. She wanted to know if I was using my old or new system. Why would I use an old system when I've had a new system since 2021!!! Duh! Also wanted to verify by giving her the base station #. I didn't have it in front of me & didn't feel like going to get it. So, I finally said "forget it" & hung up. Horrible customer service. Wish they had customer service in the states!

This post resulted in their “Office of CEO Escalation Specialist” to reach out. This person was very practical with this approach and resolved my issues immediately. If their first or even second line customer service was as dynamic as this guy was, I’d have had my problems solved and never posted here to begin with. He listened, used common sense, and offered very logical solutions to the problem.

@sewso65​ so sorry to hear that you had difficulty. It sounds like the agent was having trouble trying to look up your account info, because we do have tools that can help with certain issues - for example, when troubleshooting sensor connectivity.

However, your question doesn't require any of that, and they should have been able to answer without viewing your account.

It sounds like you were asking about how to access the battery compartment of a given sensor. We do have guides for every sensor on hour Help Center. Here's the one for how to access the battery on the Entry Sensor.

Your understanding is understandable. I have been a customer for three years and a wind storm blew awqy my yard sign. when I called to request another one, i was told there was a three dollar charge, plus shipping.  This could not be more ridiculous!  It's advertising as well as a notification to potential trouble makers. I don't know what the shipping cost is and neither did the customer service person who took my phone call. I will do without the sign and if anyone asks me which service I use, I will tell them to shop around.

I will say, when you get to the right person, the company takes care of the customer. They made everything right in the end.
