Heading Out of Town? Let Your Service Take a Break, Too

Whether it’s a winter spent somewhere warmer, a season away for work, or an extended trip to visit family, plenty of BEK members find themselves away from home for weeks or months at a time. If that sounds like you, there’s no reason to keep paying full price for phone, internet, or TV service you’re not around to use.


BEK’s “On Vacation” option lets you pause your services for as long as you’re away, for up to a full year, all for a one-time fee of just $25. There are no ongoing charges while your service is on hold, no complicated contracts to sign, and no surprise fees waiting for you when it’s time to restart. When you’re ready to come home, reactivating your service is quick and easy, essentially as simple as hitting pause and then play.


For members planning an extended trip, the “On Vacation” option offers a simple kind of peace of mind: you’re not paying for services sitting unused back home, but your account stays in place and ready to go the moment you return. There’s no need to cancel service altogether and start from scratch, and no gap where you’re left figuring out setup all over again once you’re back.


Setting up “On Vacation” service takes just one phone call. Reach out to BEK at 888-475-2361, and our team will walk you through the details and get everything in place before you leave.


Whether you’re planning a trip for a few weeks or heading out for the season, it’s an easy way to make sure your account works around your life, not the other way around.
