Dish Network Call Tags

[Re-Raise]

I had a guy try to hand me a Dish receiver with the ARS label directly attached to it.

Umm...sorry I can't take it. Why not? It's not in a box. What did you do with the box?
I threw it away


Come on man, I'm getting evicted today. LMAO

That's awesome! I probably would have taken it

Gotta love Dish Network. These boxes sat on somebody's front porch for a couple of years! I make attempts on them, easy money.

I always attempt call tags even if I forget to grab them in the morning.

But another question, do residential call tags require a signature? I remember years ago someone saying they do so I have always gotten a sig, but that seems dumb.

That was at a doctor's house too! What gets me is when I go make three attempts at a house and you hear some lame excuse why the deadbeat won't give up the equipment. They cancel the credit card they signed up for the service so they are getting free TV. I have been to the same houses over and over trying to get this stuff over a period of several months. Dish Network should have designed their equipment so they could turn it off for non-payment.

We are bill collectors.

Pretty sure they can. I knew a guy back in the day who could wipe and program the cards that went in them, free tv. Probably figured out a way to stop that long ago though.

He probably had a 401k so it was no big deal @IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U

No, you don't get signatures when picking up a package with a Call Tag. I have never heard of that, somebody was pulling your leg.

No, Dish Network can't turn off the equipment. That's the problem. Customers sign up for the service using automatic payments from their credit card. Cancel the card, you still have the equipment. In the early days of cable, you could cram a piece of plastic in the cable box and get all the channels. A cop showed me how! Some early cable boxes could be changed by buying an illegal chip.

It was a lady who worked as a pm sup. Maybe she was clueless.

They do but they would also like to get their equipment back so that they can refurbish it and use it again.

They just started this very thing. Other day I have a call tag for a busted tv and it required a signature. It was very confusing. Thankfully customer was home to sign. I wonder what the office would have me do if they weren't home and the package was outside.
