DO NOT let them put your Pay as you go account on PAUSE. DO NOT ASK FOR PAUSE OR SYSPEND. When you are done using your Pay as you go monthly service you can either just let it lapse or call them and ask that it be terminated or cancelled. If terminated or cancelled, Dish WILL credit your account and the next time you start a 30 day Pay as you go session they should credit a pro-rated Amount from your previously unfinished 30 day period. This is what they have done for me and others. xCaveat - the customer service reps do tend to be totally ignorant on Pay as you go accounts....you may have to ask for a supervisor if you have difficulty with our telephone rep.
that's true, however, the special channel discounts will disappear and you may have a re-activation fee. if you just stop paying your bill the account will remain in force but inactive until such time as you pay the equivalent of one month.
Sorry but this is incorrect. The Pay-As-You-GO payment option operates exactly as Ed Gee described. You prepay for 30 days of service. You can CANCEL or DISCONNECT your service at any time and the remaining unused balance remains as a credit until you restart your service. I began using this plan over 8 years ago when PACE Communications helped develop this payment plan option for the RV industry in conjunction with DISH Network.
