Verification notes
DIY home security. Equipment is bought outright; professional monitoring is a separate month-to-month subscription that renews automatically and has no termination fee (Terms of Service, November 2025). Equipment bought directly from SimpliSafe has a 60-day return window from delivery. The Terms of Sale and the Terms of Service each require AAA arbitration with a 60-day email opt-out. Neither document has a 3-business-day cancellation notice. SimpliSafe publishes several phone numbers: 1-888-910-1458 (support contact page), 1-800-548-9508 (cancellation, Terms of Service), 1-800-297-1605 (payment methods, Terms of Service) and 1-888-957-4675 (warranty, Terms of Sale). No SimpliSafe page about phishing or impersonation was found.
