FarSeide, how long ago did you add that soc code onto the account? Is it something I can do over the phone with AT&T after I sign my contract? If so, should I just not take ANY txt plans for the time being?

I had it for about a year or so.. but I took it off several times in between cause I wasnt using it.. then I added it back on.

You have to get a rep that knows what they are doing.

Simply ask them to add SOC code of B2B1500. It worked just few days ago when I did it for my friend.
 
Just got off the phone with 2 different reps that seemed to know what they doing, both told me that the SOC B2B1500 code is no longer valid (as of last Dec) and cannot be added to any account.

Edit: I am a premier member and was contacting the "business care center"

There is a forum post on HoFo that talks about which ones worked.
 
I'm not familiar with B2B1500 although I used to have BM1500 and it expired. Try asking for TMS4. Gotta have a FAN to get it though.
 
Just tried this and it worked. I confirmed this with my acct online after speaking to the AT&T rep and it was there. Make sure you use the TMS4 code as the other codes say they have expired.

Thanks FarSeide!
 
So just call and tell them to add TMS4? This is $1500 texts for $8.99?

Yes, but only if you are a Premiere customer(that is you have a FAN on your account currently). If the rep is too dumb to know how, call back and get someone smarter. Also, if they ask where you got it, just mumble something about getting it from corp rep.
 
Correct, TMS4 is 1500 texts for 8.99 a month, i believe you have to have a FAN/business account.

The guy i got was really cool, seemed younger and really down to earth, i just told him i got it off some forums, he was like "where'd you fine this code at? that's awesome"
 
Thanks for the quick replies guys :)! Just wanted to double check that. I do have a fan number so thank you guys!
 
This was good info. I will reconsider my purchase now.

Don't some company make (or used to make) a text message only device?
 
For those of you that added TMS4 today, did it reflect immediately in your account online? I don't see anything, then again it's been 5 minutes.

EDIT: It just showed up :)
 
the rep on the phone told me i needed to have a business account in order to use TMS4

He said my discounted FAN account wasn't eligible :confused:
 
It may just be me, but I'm not seeing anything for TMS4 in the link above. But my question is this.. what had you opt for 1500 messages/$8.99, versus TMY4 (750 free texts for life), or did TMY4 also expire?

BL.

I haven't heard of anybody using TMY4 lately so it may be expired. Additionally, a lot of these are very hard to get and some are dependent on what billing system that you use(CARE or Telegence). TMS4 is a relatively new code(this year I believe) and a lot of people have been successful using it. If you want to try and get TMY4 then go for it, but I don't think there's a high chance of success like there is with TMS4.
 
I'd give it another try. Sometimes it takes a few times or rather a different reps to get the right one to get it your account. I'd say if you a FAN and it's a company then you should be able to get it.

is there a way to do it online or does it have to be over the phone?

alright well ill just do it friday i just had my fan remove cuz I read fan accounts won't be able to buy from apple stores.
 
I plan on signing up for a new at&t account on an consumer plan (familytalk) at the apple store, and then calling up at&t afterwards to add my company's FAN discount. Would I then qualify for the TMS4 code?
