Starting today, Dish Network's technicians will come to customers' homes to fix their iPhones.
With traditional video subscribers dwindling, Dish Network LLC (Nasdaq: DISH) has found a way to bring in incremental revenue with the phone repair service via the technicians it already has in the field. (See Dish Mutating Into a Broadband Company.)
The "Smart Phone Repair" service from Dish Network is available in all 50 states and includes replacing cracked screens or batteries on iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6 and 6 Plus. Dish said it would expand the service to include additional devices and smartphone accessories.
Dish's Smart Phone Repair service, which is available seven days a week, offers same-day and next-day repairs, and comes with a 60-day warranty.
