I got a call from a guy (with family type voices in background) asking for woman of house, asking if she was married when told not there, then asking about monitoring systems. I think it was Monitronics or something like that.  Difficult to understand him and caused worry now. Will look them up and never do business with them.

It's ADT.  I did as someone suggested and saved it on my phone so that next time they call I know. They ended up calling my cell phone number and I know only important people get that info.  The call was regarding a part that we need for our system. It's not always auto dial.

We got a call from them at 5:25am this saturday morning!!! Unreal, they should prosecuted for this s***.

This 800-238-2727 is ADT for certain. If you are getting a from this number in error, it must be some kind of a mistake!

It is the number for ADT Alarm Monitoring. My caller ID showed the number with no name and I ignored it. They also called my cell with the same number and left a message that a friends alarm went off. Its a shame they don't identfy themselves with caller ID because I tend not to answer 800 numbers due to numerous sales calls

Got a call at 1:25am on my company cell phone from 888-238-2727. Looked the number up on google and it came back as a ADT contact number. It only rang twice then hung up. First time and I hope the last time they call or they are going to get an ear full from me.

I got a call from this number at 4:06 am on 10/9/07.  Thinking it was my mother or another family member calling with an emergency I jumped out of bed just as the machine picked up. No message was left.

as a manager of a company who uses ADT, i saved this number in my phone ADT, so when they call, they are identified.  Anyone who uses ADT should do this.

I would like to know why I received a phone call from this number. After I answered, the call was disconnected.

YES -- it is ADT's auto-dialer.  I am an ADT customer and the system is calling me to inform me that the BATTERY, which serves to back-up in the event of a power failure, is low.  Sadly, this is due to the fact that the system is on a ground fault interrupt circuit which is tripping due to the Christmas lights and rain!  Argh!!!

For somebody named Baldwin Lewis, 1820 Cultivate Drive [unknown city]. Male voice left this message at 6:00 AM Eastern time on October 7, 2010. I didn't respond because we are not subscribers to ADT.

It is ADT home security system...
alarm notification.

I received a call from this number and it turns out the fire alarm was going off at my home.  They had already deployed the fire department. Impressive service.

First off I would like to thank everyone on this forum for their help. I myself at 8:18 pm on 8/28/08 recieved a phone call from someone stating that they are ADT, and they had givin me a name I believe was Nancy had set off the SILENT ALARM and ask for a password. I just told them that they must have the wrong number, and to please REMOVE me. They understood and since then I haven't recieved a phone call. From what I see on this forum it is ADT, and not someone trying to scam you. Once agian Thank You everyone.

they called at 3.00am and i do not have there service.

ADT SECURITY -- Probably important

Got a call at 1:48am this morning and the caller said he was from ADT and a alarm was going off at our residence. I informed him that he had the wrong address and he gave me a street address that I have never heard of. Told him he had the wrong number. He did ask my name.

Not a telemarketer.  It is ADT Securities Customer Monitoring Center, calling about an alarm event at some location.  You were aparently on the emergency contact list.  There was obviously some phone line trouble.

It is ADT Security calling about an alarm event.

Either you were on the emergency contact list from the business/residence they were calling about, or that business/homeowner mistakenly gave ADT the incorrect number for one of their emergency contacts.

Valid call from ADT Security.  My number was on the contact list for a neighbor from whom they received an alarm.  Not a telemarketer.

My cell phone rang with the # 888-238-2727. I didn't recognize the number but answered anyway. The call was disconnected. The phone immediately rang again - same #. I answered, asked who it was, no response, I told them not to call this number again and they haven't - yet.
All of my #s are on the do not call list and it makes me very angry when I get a call from a telemarketer or whoever this was!

They called twice this morning asking for someone I have never heard of.  I explained this was my cell phone and that I never heard of them and they had the wrong number.  They asked for my first name and said they would remove me from the person's call list.

Got a call from these guys, they left a message. Said they were ADT and i was on the call list for the house in question. It was a family member. Called and confirmed, it was correct. This is a valid number, someone may have put you on their call list, "phat fingered" an incorrect number into the call list, or even have an outdated call list.

both 800-238-2727 and 888-238-2727 are call back numbers for an ADT monitoring center (800-ADT-ASAP)

believe it or not, the operators there are American and speak english.  

you may have been put on a friends emergency contact list, or even placed on a contact list by error (new subscriber gives them your number).  to have your name removed from the list, simply tell them they have a wrong number.  they are required to ask for your first and last name, but it is NOT required to remove your number.  simply tell them you'd rather not and they should remove it without further question.

usually if you are getting this call, the authorities have already been called and now ADT is looking for a person to meet them at the premise.

they will tell you the name and address of the alarm (subscriber) so you can follow up with them if you wish.  you should ask the homeowner what your responsibilities are as a contact list member (should you wish to stay on the list).  You have certain authorities also, including having them disregard signals (for repetitive calls).

A lot of times their ADT's number will show up unknown on the caller id.  You can verify if it was them by calling the 800 or 888 number.  Give them the address and name of the account and they can look it up for you (if you are on the list).

May be you are under your neighbors contac list and you don't know it. ADT has to call the people on the contact list and it could be that the customer NOT ADT has the incorrect phone number.

I got a phone call to my cell phone and then an unintelligable voice message from someone who sounded like he had marbles in his mouth.  I decided to look up the number and kept finding complains like this

This really is ADT.  My parents have service with them and I am on the contact list.  I didn't recognize the number, but they left me a message telling me that the burglar alarm had been activated.

Call was from ADT for a friends alarm system to say that their alarm was sounding, and that we were on the contact list.  Message was very fast, but made sense.

Recieved call at 5:15 pm on 10/21/07. Lady was talking really fast, about ADT alarm set off, and need a password. I told her I didn't know what she was talking about. She replied asking if this was some address FAR from mine. She took my name for the do not call list. Wierd.
