So I think I just added a FAN discount from my university. Can I check online if it worked. Im also set to graduate in a few months does it go away after that or do I get it forever?

They technically are supposed to check every time you renew your contract but they usually don't.
 
Also if I already get 200 txts for $5...is this in addition to that? Can someone please clarify what exactly this is lol
 
Haha just did it. At first said it wouldn't let him cause it was for "blackberry only" but then he saw the error and removed my 200txt plan before trying it again and it when through...
 
For the tmb9 code do you need a FAN account? I am a regular customer with the 450 minute plan and currently have the regular 1500 msg plan. When I called to add tmb9 she couldn't find it.

EDIT: nevermind, FAN is needed
 
Is the tmb9 code a per-line deal, or are the 750 messages shared among all iPhones on a family plan?

Edit: Never mind. Not a shared pool.
 
I would like this too, but as far as I have seen, messaging is always charged on a per line basis. The only exception is if you get the $30 a month unlimited family messaging plan, which allows unlimited messaging between family members. But it costs too much to be worth it (two individual plans combined are cheaper).

How are two individual plans combined cheaper?

Family text: $30 assume 2 lines that is $15/line for unlimited
2x individual plans unlimited text: $20/line
 
the only drawback with tmb9 is that to get mms working you have to set it up on pay per use at 30 cents each.

if you dont send or receive too many mms then the plan is perfect. if you send alot, their regular messaging plans may be a better option..

multimedia messaging services
sms is short messaging services..

sms can only send text strings up to 160 bytes

mms can send mixed data types including audio, video, images, etc
 
They do sweeps after an unusually large number of people signing up. I wouldn't share that link if you want to keep that discount.

I don't think just anyone could use that link anyway. I also don't think there's a way to switch from your current FAN account # to that one either, so there's probably not much harm in it being posted. Still makes sense to delete it though and it looks like he did.
 
does the 1500 texts for 8.99 still work? anyone know? If I got the 1500 for 8.99 and 200 for $5 and I used MMS, it would take the MMS off the 200 correct since the 1500 doesn't include MMS.

i dont think you can have both. when i swapped mine the att rep said if i ever added any other text feature it would knock whatever current text feature code i had.

gotcha so you just have to pay the 30 cents or whatever per MMS? Anyone know if it still works? does it work for corporate FAN accounts and university FAN accounts? or just one or the other?

whenever you add the code you need to make sure you tell them to add the pay per use mms feature code in addtion to whatever code your using. i dont know what that ppu mms code is but the reps should know....

you need to do that or else you'll get the redirect sms to get the pics online.
