Looking to order dish network

[fre55799]

I DON'T want to be on a contract
I DON'T want to pay an activation fee

What can be done here, if I decide I don't want to be on a contract they want me to pay a 49 dollar activiation fee, which I am not willing to do.

Are there any promo codes right now to waive the activation fee?

Any help would be great, thanks guys!

I was able to get E* with no out of pocket expenses, additional promo discounts and no 2 year contract.

Maybe I got lucky. but it's all in what you ask for. Start the conversation out with "I want to make the jump from cable, but I want to know that satellite is stable". Another tip...Contact them via the chat on their website, they will have somebody call you back and it's a different dept than you would normally speak with when signing up. Those folks seem to be a lot more generous.

Good luck!

Go to sears, and find the dish system called Dish Yah..lol Comes with a dish 500 and a 311 recvr.. Install your own crap....LOL

 

[crappieguy]

Do without.

 

[gkjdc24]

Wow...tough crowd.

The guy asks for some help/advice, and he get's flamed.

Just ask for what you want. If you don't get it, then tell them thanks and hang up. Wait a little bit and repeat the process. Somebody will give you what you want.

They have the flexability, you just gotta find the CSR that's having a better day than the previous one.:up

Actually, my antenna comment was meant as a joke. The best advice (IMHO) was to call the dishstore.net.

Good Luck, Eric

No offense, but you sort of came across as a beggar. When you've got a group of people who've served out commitments, paid there regular dues, and generally sucked it up while the new guy gets sweet deals you might want to get ready for some not so helpful advice. Remember you'll be getting a "deal" just for signing up. If you can get out of the commitment though more power to you.

More power to ya.

It never hurts to try and get the best deal you can.

Paying the asking price is for suckers

Thats not his fault or doing. Thats the flawed system that dish created and he is playing by it.

Flawed as in what sense? Like I said in my final sentence, if he can do it then "more power to him". I just tried to tell him why some weren't quick to help him out.

Nuff said...

Well thanks to the (few) people that helped me out, I ended up getting out of the contract and not having to pay the activation fee, and they are giving me a 40 dollar credit on my first bill. So once again thanks to the people that actually had something good to say.

 

[gkjdc24]

Nice work brotha and pay no attention to the "haters"
