» Beware of Pronto

I was interested in switching to Dish from Direct, and brought up both Idish and Pronto to compare their packages, etc. Unfortunately, with both, I had to give my phone number in order to get any information.

Long story short…I decided to sign up with idish (one of the main reasons was that they were recommended on this site. Also, Pronto’s figures didn’t jibe with their banners).

Well, for the last three days, Pronto has been calling me (evidently from India), telling me that since I had been on their website, but didn’t sign up with them, they wanted to offer me special offers, etc. I informed them, each time, that I had already signed up with idish, and to take me off their calling list. I have still been bombarded with calls.

The last time, I told them that I was going to cancel and stay with DirectTV if they didn’t stop it. I guess, though, that would just be cutting off my nose to spite my face. So, from now on, I am going to just ask them to hold on for a minute, and put the phone down until they get tired of holding and hang up. I think, maybe, since time is money, that may (or may not) get them to stop.

Just wanted to warn everyone to not give their phone number to Pronto. Idish “seems” to be doing ok…so far. They are supposed to install tomorrow, so we will see.

Take care,
Cliff
