They have absolutely no reason to ask for or need your SSN. No retailer does. 4951

If I remember right it is illegal for someone like Direct TV to ask for your SS #.  I remember when places used to ask for it when you wrote a check. 4951

Credit check? They probably think if you are willing to provide a SS# you are ok with them running a credit check... I cancelled DISH due to what I felt were questionable practices and crappy customer service. Direct TV is not a lot better lately...

They do a credit check. They can't offer you free equipment without it so therefore the pricing wouldnt be right if you don't pass.
 
Keep in mind, there are authorized retailers, those people work on commission and they make more the higher your qualification level and then you can get the service directly through dish. The retailers are usually the ones with the freebies that go along with service.
 
You can go to their website and see pricing there. 4951

"Social security number to the tv company. Not in a million years. And pricing is on there main webpage."No, the pricing for TV plus Internet is not there for me.  When I put in my address and zip, the info on Internet is grayed out. 4951

@gigem09:
 
 
If you live in Kingwood, that's pretty much a sure bet. Only SuddenLink and CenturyLink here. And yeah...I'm not submitting to a credit check just to get a price quote. LOL.  4951

@imadrummer2k: That is what I was thinking. I can't even get CenturyLink. SuddenLink is my only option. 4951

The only internet dish offers is through dishnet, satellite, which would be a horrible choice for someobe with better options. I think direct tv has an agreement with CL but the I ternet wod be coming from them, not dtv. The data caps on satrllite are unreal small and the speed is laughable. Its meant only for people out in BFE. 4951
