Credit card needed?

[cruzmisl]

I'm trying to convert my brother from cable to Dish (free months for me) but he doesn't have a credit card. If he buys the equipment will they send him monthly bills? He cut all his cards at the start of the recession.
Thanks,
Joe

call the dish store (link at top of the page) they will get you hooked up no problems. (and yes, they will send a bill to his house)

With the new promotions Dish just started last week you can. You can sign up for DHA TOO or FlexTV. All you need for DHA TOO is a social security number and you don't need anything for FlexTV. DHA TOO is $99 upfront and you can get a single or dual tuner. FlexTV is $149 and you can also get a single or dual tuner.

Also, since last week you can use a debit card /prepaid card to setup a new account.

He was planning on buying a 722 and then having the dealer activate it. Couldn't they just send him a bill?

he's not poor just doesn't have CC's

As I posted above,If he have a good/fair credit he can setup a new account with a prepaid-debit visa/master card.

they eliminate the no promo no ssn promotion so if he doesn't provide an ssn, he has to go flextv and pay the $149 activation fee whether or not he takes the dish equipment 322.

Otherwise he has to provide ssn and qualify. now without a cc he can go dhatoo which is $99 for solo or duo rec and $49 to add a 322 if he wants 3 or more room. he will also have to pay all programming upfront such as paying first bill before scheduling new connect install. later if he order ppv or make programming upgrade he has to pay first before additional services are added.

Paying for a 722 will be expensive. Plus you would have to hook it up yourself. Dish's promotions are usually a better way to go.
