And that's why Dish's cell phone service isn't popularThe hardest part was going from android to iPhone, hoarding everything over, took a couple of days. Meaning, some of his text messages were still going to his old phone, for example

I have the Samsung A54 5G phone from tracfone (now verizon), total cost was $209, which included unlimited talk and text for a year, 8G of Data ( which I never use).. I decided to go with the Samsung A23, as I was anxious about getting a first gen cell phone from a first gen cell phone company.
You know it's not just iPhone right? You can bring over any phone you want.And that's why Dish's cell phone service isn't popular
And that sums up their wireless problem. The provider market is saturated with each providing similar service and trying to poach the competitors customers.That is one of the reasons Dish cannot compete, the big boys will just offer better deals and snuff them out.
Since you seem extremely knowledgeable ( advanced degree?) about this and the fact, I have never worked for a company that needed to go into a Chapter 7/11 (ha) .And that sums up their wireless problem.

It's the activating the phone part..not the type of phone. His text messages were still going to his old phone for a couple daysYou know it's not just iPhone right? You can bring over any phone you want.
Nowbif you do want the smart network then iPhone 15 is your best option for the moment, but will be adding more devices. The manufacturer has to make a phone that supports the smart switching.
What about a loan/investor, or does Dish need too much for that to be logical.If they go chapter 11 before the hounds are biting, at a minimum, the judge will likely protect the satellite and internet businesses by giving them rights to customer income, paying their expenses, and preventing creditors from claiming the assets.
The wireless business is grayer since it likely needs a cash infusion of large amounts of "new money" to survive and build out the network.
Probably depends if the bondholders want a quick haircut or want to take ownership and hang in for the long haul.
Look for the 10kI would venture that there is a lot of hand-wringing over something that may not be the dark cloud it appears to be.
When I searched for more info, I did;t see this on Forbes or any well-regarded business sites.
I only see links like Fiercewirless.com, tvanswserman.com, thestreet.com, advanced-television.com, and so on.
If I could get a link to the SEC call with the shareholders, I'd be very interested to see what was really in there
He is posting that if you want accurate info, that is the best option.Huh?
Boost Infinite is not Boost Mobile.
I hate they use the Boost name in this service.
Boost Infinite is Dish's contracted Wireless plan and the phone they offer are the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max and the Galaxy S24+ and 24 Ultra and the assorted older, lower end phones like the iPhone SE, the Galax S23 5G, the iPhone 14 series, Motorola Razor, etc
Also said this-“… The net loss in 2023 was primarily attributable to a noncash impairment to goodwill totaling approximately $758 million, …”
I don’t think so.
I still don't know what 10K is.He is posting that if you want accurate info, that is the best option.
Also this is the press release from Echostar/Dish themselves, pretty much confirms everything-
EchoStar Announces Financial Results for the Three and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ: SATS) announced its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Twelve Months...www.prnewswire.com
You're right about VZW. Getting my number ported to T-Mobile was a PITA! I now have 2 of my techs who switched to Boost Infinite and are both giving positive reviewsThe name is definitely a problem. It’s confusing and I see it mixed up constantly on their social media and in online forums. It should really have been branded as something else, ie: Dish Wireless.
With that said, I’ve read too many bad things about ports gone wrong and a lack of customer support. It has scared me away for now. I already lost one phone number thanks to a Verizon port gone bad a few years ago, and I won’t chance it again. (VZW has the WORST customer service, btw)
