It would be a lot easier to reach local retailers if they would stop forwarding their phone numbers to the Dish 800 number... just sayin’.
Yea it kinda sucks that we must rent a special 800 number for each of our ads and when that particular 800 number expires for us it gets forwarded to DISH. The only sure way to reach the local retailer regularly is to call their local number or their company 800 number which doesn't change.
Out here, even the local (816) and (913) numbers posted for retailers forward to Dish's 800 number. It's almost like the local retailers don't want people calling them directly.
That's a new one for me. I'm wondering if something more nefarious is going on because if we don't make the sale we don't earn any money. I don't see any point to a local retailer number forwarding directly to DISH unless it's some kind of program I know nothing about or another way the national retailers can trick people.
He's not in my part of the country so the only way I know of is:
Find a Preferred Local DISH Retailer in Your Area | DISH
Find a Preferred Local DISH Retailer in Your Area | DISH

Thanks all. If they decide to go this route I will attempt to call a local guy for them.
I once had a Dish door-to-door sales guy who noticed my Dish dishes and tried to sell me on upgrading to a Hopper. He asked me how much my monthly Dish bill was, about $50 per month? I got a shocked look on my face and told him no, I have Welcome Pack for only $19.99 per month. He quickly stopped trying to sell me anything and left, saying something like, "Sorry, you're not the kind of customer we're looking for."I once had a college age kid show up at our vacation cottage that tried to sell me on switching from cable TV to Dish. When I pointed out the Dish dish in the yard, he smoothly rolled right into telling me why I should switch from Dish to DTV.
I did not know DISH does door-to-door sales. I know AT&T has before in our neighborhood.I once had a Dish door-to-door sales guy who noticed my Dish dishes and tried to sell me on upgrading to a Hopper.

Yeah, it was mentioned earlier in this thread. Post number 19
Dish does not have door to door salesmen. Dish has retailers that sell Dish service, and some use the door to door technique.
Come to the dark side.
Dish is far superior than D*. I wouldn’t get direct even if it was free.
Screw go dish.
Local retailers should be able to sell in those areas. It’s the national dealers they lock out.
If the OP can’t get exede, try Hughesnet or vice versa.
