After some time, it seems like Republic Wireless by DISH will stop operating soon.
This comes from a report by Wave7 Research and BestMVNO’s sources that say the closure is likely to happen. Unfortunately, there is no exact time frame on when the brand will be shutting down. The reason for the closure is said to be because of a lack of resources being invested in the brand.
This doesn’t come as a surprise especially since the brand shut down its community forums in November 2022. Customers who frequented these online forums no longer had anywhere to go to get help with their service, know more about upcoming changes, and even discuss the brand.
In addition to this, the social media accounts of Republic Wireless by DISH were not as active as they used to be. In fact, for the entire 2022, the brand’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram only had one post. But the brand continued to respond to support requests through social media channels.
Also, when you check DISH Wireless’ website, there is no mention of Republic Wireless or Republic Wireless by DISH.
As shared by Jeff Moore, Wave7 Research Principal:
“The brand has been severely neglected since it was purchased, unlike Gen Mobile, which is getting strong investment and attention under DISH Network ownership.”
We still have to wait for an official announcement from Republic Wireless or DISH.
