Ring Protect Basic Plan

If you have the Ring Protect Basic Plan, you can’t transfer the subscription to a new device once you replace the original one. This plan is limited to covering just a single device, which means that if you upgrade or change your device, the subscription can’t be transferred.

The process to handle this situation involves canceling your existing Basic plan to receive a prorated refund. After canceling, you can set up your new device and subscribe to a new Basic plan specifically for that device. Unfortunately, due to the single device coverage and subscription transfer restrictions of the Basic Plan, transferring the subscription directly to a new device isn’t feasible.

However, by going through the steps of canceling the old plan and subscribing anew for the new device, you can ensure continuous coverage for your upgraded Ring device. This procedure ensures that your new device is protected under the Ring Protect Basic Plan.

Ring Protect Plus or Pro Plan

In the case of the Ring Protect Plus or Pro Plan, when upgrading your Ring device, the subscription seamlessly extends to cover the new device without requiring any manual intervention.

Key Points to Note:

1. Device Compatibility: Ring Protect Plus or Pro Plans cover all Ring devices at a single location, ensuring compatibility with the new device.

2. Subscription Coverage: The subscription automatically protects the new device when you replace an old one, maintaining continuous coverage.

3. Account Management: Simply remove the old device from your Ring account and set up the new device within the same location in the Ring app to manage your devices effectively.

When dealing with the Ring Protect Plus or Pro Plan, the subscription transfer process is hassle-free, allowing you to seamlessly transition to a new device without any additional steps. This ensures that your upgraded Ring device is adequately protected under the existing subscription plan.

Cancel Existing Basic Plan

To cancel your existing Basic plan, access your Ring account settings and navigate to the subscription section. Once there, locate the option to cancel your current plan. By canceling your Basic plan, you’ll be eligible for a prorated subscription refund.

After successfully canceling, proceed to set up your new device and subscribe to a new Basic plan specifically for it. This process ensures that your new device is adequately protected and connected to the Ring services.

If you encounter any difficulties during the Basic plan cancellation or require guidance with the subscription transfer process, don’t hesitate to reach out to Ring Support for assistance. They’re equipped to provide you with the necessary help and support to ensure a smooth transition to your new device setup.

Set Up New Basic Plan

To set up a new Basic plan for your device, access your Ring account settings and navigate to the subscription section. Here are the steps to guide you through the process:

1. Basic Plan Limitations: Remember that the Ring Protect Basic Plan covers only one device. If you’re switching to a new device, you’ll need to follow these steps.

2. Subscription Transfer Process: Cancel your existing Basic plan to get a prorated refund. Then, subscribe to a new Basic plan specifically for your new device.

3. New Device Setup: After canceling your old plan, proceed to set up your new device by following the setup process within the Ring app.

If you encounter any difficulties or need further guidance during the subscription transfer process, don’t hesitate to reach out to Ring Support for assistance. They can provide you with the necessary help to ensure a smooth transition. Remember, understanding the subscription cancellation process is essential for a successful transfer to your new device.

Automatic Transfer for Plus/Pro Plans

If you’ve already set up your new device after removing the old one, the Ring Protect Plus or Pro plan will automatically safeguard your new device without any additional steps required. This seamless process ensures that your device protection remains uninterrupted.

With automatic transfer, the subscription management for your Ring devices becomes hassle-free. To initiate this transfer, the first step is to remove your old device from your account settings. After that, proceed to set up your new device within the same location in the Ring app. By following these steps, your new device will be seamlessly integrated into your existing subscription plan.

This streamlined process eliminates the need for manual intervention in subscription transfer, making it efficient and convenient for users. So, when replacing a device under the Ring Protect Plus or Pro plans, account settings and device setup are all that’s needed to ensure continuous device protection.
