I don't have a home phone, never had a home phone. We have cell phones and thats it.
I signed up for Dish again with no phone. As I have signed up with E* and D* in the past. Never had a problem with it and I didn't expect to this time either.
Well the 622 insists on a phone line. So I politely called Dish, explained to them the problem. BTW, the CSR during ordering never did say I had to have one, neither did the installer.
She told me I needed a phone line, BUT if I did not want one, there was a $5.00 service charge for no phone line.
Someone explain this to me. Forget the contract and what they say you have to have. There is something not legal to me in this.
We don't buy PPV, never have, never will. We have a 622 and a SD box.
Phone lines are needed we are told to stop piracy. Well I have two boxes, two TV's, and just installed.
So now they offer a way around the phone line but $5.00?
$5.00 from me is not solving the piracy problem. So what service are they providing for $5.00 a month?
If a phone line is not required for functionality, then obviously my $5.00 is just an excuse to collect.
You see my problem with this? Its like saying if I buy a car and don't store it in a garage I get charged extra.
I plan on writing the CEO over this. I agreed to the charge for the simple fact I wanted to watch TV and the completel lunacy of the charge. I'll take it up with someone else.
I find something seriously wrong with this even to the point of filing a complaint with the AG of Michigan.
