Thanks the warning. I was just about to subscribe to the Ring security plan but I am traveling. Will now wait until I can access my Ring doorbell. DAVE

Did you subscribe before or after trial ends? I've already subscribed and i hope the migration to be flawless the day it will expire. I can se no more the trial end alert on the different apps. May be that ptoblem surge only if you let trial expire and only subscribe after...

I too had the same problem. I just bought the Ring Video Doorbell 3 with Echo Show 5 in October on Prime Day 2020. Once the trial expired, the live connection will not connect (day & night). It worked just fine during the free initial trial period. That tells me that Ring is trying to get you to subscribe and will make it hard on you if you aren't a subscriber. Its awful and I don't recommend any of the Ring products.

I too bought the ring 3 around Thanksgiving. After the 30 day trial period, the device would go off on motion about 100 times an hour. After calling ring and upgrading to the next level of support, they replaced the unit. The second unit did the exact same thing. The day the 30 day trial ended, the live view quit working, the motion detection didn't work but I received the annoying sound on my phone continuously. I called Ring and went through their same by the book procedures in resetting and nothing. The lady told me it was my internet with packet losses. Since I do this for a living, I knew she was wrong. After telling them what was the issue, her supervisor gave me a 7 day trial period. Miraculously, the device starting working again and no motion detection every 2 seconds. It's working fine right now. I told her great, I don't want your recording plan. I just want what ring promises without the plan which is motion and the live view. She told me the only way to probably keep that is to buy a plan. Follow up: I received the 7 day trial and the minute it expired my phone started blowing up again. I called again and was told again there was motion at my front door....there wasn't. It went off 102 times in under 30 minutes. The support lady kept asking me if the noise going off was my doorbell and wanted me to go through their process again. I asked three times to transfer me to a supervisor who wouldn't come on the phone. The support lady told me they applied another 7 day trial and I would have to purchase a plan if I wanted the constant announcements to stop. She admitted to me that I needed to buy a plan for it to work correctly. Wow...not false advertising at all on Ring's part.

I am having the same issue!!
