Want a "free" Nest Doorbell? Hope you can afford it....

Occasionally I get some mail that makes me shake my head. Extend your car warranty (for a car I haven't owned for 5 years) to a complimentary dinner to sit through some financial seminar that will change my life forever etc etc but my all time favorite is from my former security company, ADT. Some of you remember the Chicago CBS investigative report I posted last year where an ADT dealer in Indianapolis reporting a sales rep punching holes in a prospect's wall to show where the keypad would go etc. but the mailer I got yesterday is a good one, in a marketing sense anyway.

It appears ADT is at least a bit more communicative with the small print in writing since I was a customer almost 10 years ago. Sign up, get a "free" Nest doorbell. If you do, hope you can afford it....

Only fair I point out the Nest Doorbell can be battery operated and connected to the ADT system. Simplisafe, you do need to get out a battery operated doorbell, but please, I don't want it for free under these terms.....
