I haven't been able to get on the SmartPlan. I would like to get one but it never gets past the trying to log on part.

Hey Tel1957 and ZoeyBelle2,

 

Could you provide a screenshot that shows this error when trying to purchase an Arlo Smart subscription plan?

Same issue. It is defaulting to UK as currency and (unchangeable) country. Tried various credit cards and get this error every time. Trial Subscription ending today and for last 48h has been impossible to subscribe. (error message at top of the page and spinning "please wait").Screenshot 2020-02-02 at 8.02.35 AM.png

Hey Zillion27,

 

The development team is investigating reports of the issue you provided where you are receiving an error showing "We are sorry, we are having trouble in Processing this transaction." I will provide an update as soon as I have more information.

Hello,

 

I have been trying for the past 72 hours to subscribe to a new Arlo package, but every time I try (on both computer and phone) to move forward with payment once logged in I keep getting the following error message;

 

"We are sorry, our billing service is currently unavailable. Please try again."

 

Could someone please advise when billing service will be available?

I tried to subscribe to Arlo Premium, but I get the error messgae: “We are sorry, we are having trouble processing this transaction. 

Then i was trying to contact support, but there is no way to contact support: I am redirected to FAQ or live chat. When I try live chat, I am asked to send a bunch of personal data and after I submit I get a message that Live chat is not available.

 

I have been tying this for a week, my trial expires next week. I am living in Belgium, might be this is the problem?

 

my last resort is to post this in the community site, probably somebody can advise me.

 

It is crazy that there is no way to contact Arlo support.

I've also had the same error since early December.  They responded today explaining that it would go to second level support but that was what I was told in early January.  Fingers crossed they said they would have a resolution for me in 24-48 hrs.  Once a solution comes up I will post it.

I to have been trying to subscribe from Canada for a month.  Tried different credit cards as well.  You would think that the company would like to take my money..  Call service support is terrible, they give you a case number than you get no response.  Why can't I call company and activate like the good all days???  I want to purchase more cameras but what's the point.

Support replied, but nothing new was said: They asked me again to try in incognito mode using Chrome. They said the same in their previous reply as well. Just for the facts: I tried, Safari from ipad, Chrome (both in normal and incognito mode) and even Microsoft Edge from a PC (Windows 10).

 

My trial will expire on Sunday (16 Feb), I guess there is no hope for support during the weekend.
