Suspend Accounts?

[aznxrice]

How long can we suspend our E* accounts for?

 

[garys]

For as long as you pay the monthly suspend fee (which I think is $5 per month.)

I thought it was six months to do a Dish Pause?

 

[barnie]

6 months, plus all the fees for DVR fee, every receiver fee, plus the suspend fee.
Also watch out when restart (un-suspend) that they don't charge you for not having a phone line tied to you extar receiver(s). They did that to me.
You have to check everything Dish does

They charge you to enable your no longer enabled HD.

Yes, with E* it is better just cancel the account, even if you have to pay an early cancellation fee.

After you cancel it, if your account had been in good standing, it is likely you will get calls from E* to ask you to go back, and they will make some very good offers to try to get you back too. All the owned receivers can be reused again.
