How to cancel or transfer your DISH service

If you’ll be away from home for an extended period of time, DISH allows you to pause your television service with a seasonal hold, during which you won’t have to pay your monthly bill. To set up a seasonal hold, call (866) 974-1695.

To cancel DISH over the phone, call (866) 974-0781. DISH’s customer service line is open seven days per week, 8:00 a.m. to midnight.

Whether you’re canceling your DISH Network plan because you’re moving to a new home or because you’re unhappy with the pricing or service, you may need to shop for a new television plan.

DISH also has many plans for different budgets and you can call to see about reducing your plan instead of canceling.

If you are canceling DISH for financial reasons, call customer service to see if you can get on a month-to-month plan or have some monthly fees reduced.

Once you are moved and if you plan to remain at that address long-term, you can request a longer contract in exchange for a discount.

DISH Network charges a cancellation fee of $20 for each month remaining on your contract.

When you cancel your DISH service, the company will send you a box and prepaid shipping label to pack your equipment and drop it off at a UPS store.

If you’re moving to a new address, you can call DISH Network and ask them to transfer your service to your new home.
