Although AT&T Digital Life is widely known for their satellite television and internet services, they added home security to their list of services in 2013. They offer three different packages with a 24-month contract and a wide variety of home security and home automation options. In addition, they offer a 14-day trial to help you decide if you actually want to commit to their services. However, they do have some pretty steep cancellation fees if you don’t cancel before the 14-day trial period is up. Check out the full review of AT&T Digital Life here.

Do you have any Smart Security without any upfront cost?
Hi Danielle,
All of AT&T’s Digital Life plans come with upfront charges.
We currently have your system and we love it. We would like to add another camera to our home. Please have someone contact me.
Hi Kevin,
We’re glad you like the system. We don’t sell products, so we’d recommend contacting AT&T directly to purchase one.
I’m very interested in speaking to an AT&T Digital Life Home Security Salesperson. As soon as possible.
Hi Gregory,
We don’t sell the products at SafeHome, so we’d recommend contacting AT&T Digital Life directly to buy the products.
The powerful mobile app is experiencing issues at this time. Can’t sign into it with any kind of device with the internet. Customerservice is aware of the problem but can’t give a timeframe when it will be resolved. I can’t get in via my PC, page will not load, windows 10 troubleshooter says server not responding.
I canceled my AT&T Digital Life Service May 4, 2019. I received a bill for May 2 to June 2, 2019. When I called and reminded them, I had cancelled service, because I had moved, I was told that I still had to pay for May 2 to June 2 because I did to cancel prior to May 4. I told them I would pay May 2 to May 4th. I was told, I had to pay for the full month. I asked, why do I have to pay for a service that I no longer have? I was told it was in my contract. I asked for a copy of the contract with my signature, but the representative could not locate one. When I asked to speak to someone in the US, I was told I could not speak to anyone in the US and I would be turned over for collections if I did not pay. I will never use or purchase any product related to AT&T again. This is ridiculous.
