Reaching out for help is quick and easy
A while back, Kim’s friend Kip moved into a new house. He had to take down all his old home security system parts.
Initially, he used stickers to put up his sensors and cameras. So when he took them down, they lost their adhesiveness. He needed new stickers to relocate his old security gadgets to his new home.
Luckily, a quick call to SimpliSafe took care of the problem. They sent him a moving package, which came with a lot more than just the new adhesives he needed. It also came with specialized containers that kept his sensors and accessories organized.
Here’s the number he called:
- SimpliSafe: (888) 692-0229
Later, Kip had trouble getting his base station to connect to his Wi-Fi network. He called and they walked him through the fix. That’s partly why Kim is such a big fan of SimpliSafe: The company is so easy to communicate with.
