Your ADT security system contains a cellular radio transmitter that provides communications to the ADT monitoring centers. The radio transmitter sends signals over the cellular networks of wireless carriers (i.e. AT&T, Verizon, etc.). They are in the process of updating their systems from 2G to newer technologies such as 3G, 4G and LTE (Long Term Evolution). When the ADT service technician visits you, he will replace the 2G radio of your security with a new radio that will work on the upgraded carriers’ network.
Changing the 2G radio is not a do-it-yourself activity. ADT requires the upgrade be performed by an ADT service technician. Please call the number on the letter/email communication you received to begin updating your system.
If you did not receive an email or a letter or cannot find it, please call 1.800.345.3991 to speak with a representative and schedule a service appointment.
