For customers, DISH has implemented standard procedures to assist in the wake of natural disasters. Customers in areas impacted by Irma can call DISH Customer Service at 800-333-DISH (888-599-DISH in Spanish) for special services, including to:

Pause DISH service and account
Waive installation fees when a customer is ready to resume service

Customers can reach DISH Customer Service seven days a week.
