Not exactly new

[Zeamays]

I had to cancel my Dish account in December after moving to a location where the signal was blocked by trees. I'm moving again to a house I just bought, and I know there is clear signal there. Am I a 'new' enough customer to take advantage of the current deals offered? Or are they going to give me hassle about fulfilling my previous contract. I seem to remember paying them off with the cancellation fee, so that shouldn't be an issue. Trying to sign up for service online didn't work, the website told me I had to call in as I have an 'inactive account'.

If you have EVER had service with Dish, you are not a new customer to them. If you have a spouse, get service in their name.

You can do formers after 6 months if the origional account was cancelled in good standing.

Its just a mandatory 24 month committment, other than that the promotion is the same!

not necessarily. You have to be gone at least 6 months. I've been considered "new" twice with dish....at the same address

Otherwise go through a retailer like DishStore (sponser at top). Claude will treat you right or at least give you correct info

My wife has roughly the worst credit rating known to mankind, so we probably won't go down that route. Everything pretty much has to be in my name.

Since I've been gone from Dish for well over 6 months, and my account was closed in good standing, sounds like I'll be good to go. I'll check out DishStore, too. Thanks a lot!

Typical Dish. They would not give me new promos. Guess it depends on the CSR.

Call Dishstore as has been suggested.
