[DEAD] Discovery about AT&T & Verizon discounts, all of Facebook is eligible! [DEAD]

it took me a couple days to get it individual responsibility thing to get approved but I just got the email this morning telling me that my request was finished. I logged into my account and sure enough my university fan # that got me 10% of changed to a facebook fan # and now gets me 12% off instead. Well worth all the work.
 
You all are very lucky. I have been waiting for 2 weeks and have yet to see this dang invite!
 
Well, now ATT.com says about my discount:

Discounts
Your account type qualifies you to the following discounts. Service discounts are applied to the primary line under eligible agreements and exclude certain rate plan types and devices (e.g. iPhone data features and packages).
Service : 12.0%

So, I guess that means I won't get it off my data?

The facebook discount doesn't give a data discount. Just on your minute plan.
 
The first page of this thread seemed to indicate they were getting the fb discount on both voice and data. Anybody else just getting it on voice?

I'm still waiting for the "new messages" invite to get the fb email address. Been almost a week. At&t will probably cAtch on the day before I get my invite...
 
I read all the pages and need some direct answers.

1. Will it change my plan at all?
2. Will it work on unlimited? Saw people ask but no direct answer.
3. Somebody said it cost $25-35 to activate, is that true?

I'd love to get a discount, but I can't lose my unlimited plan and i'm always afraid att is going to take it away from me.:eek:
 
I just added the Facebook FAN to my account, and it was dead simple. Thanks for the directions in this thread - it took probably 10 minutes total from start to finish. Thanks!

You didn't read very well then cuz most of your questions are answered. No you won't lose your unlimited.

It should give you 12% off of the 2GB or Unlimited data plan. It doesn't say that under your discounts, but you will see the discount on your bill (there will be a line that says "National Account Discount" and it will show your discount, simply add your voice and data cost, and multiply by 0.12 to confirm that your discount does in fact cover data).

I read all the pages, only once was it mentioned that you have to pay a fee so I just want confirmation. I just wanted all the right answers before I do it.

You don't need to be a jerk about it, cuz that's just stupid. I just want to get it to work right cuz I can't risk losing my unlimited data.

To do that did you only have to enter your email and cell phone number? I am/was trying to get the discount on my account by using my son's army email and have yet to hear of anything. He is very busy so I don't know if he has checked and replied yet or even if that is what he has to do which is why I am asking.
I want a discount BAD. LOL!!

Are you kidding me? The armed forces of our country only get 15% and MARY KAY get's almost 20? Unbelievable.

Maybe those in the armed forced get paid more than the staff at Mary Kay... :rolleyes:

At the end of the day, being in the armed forces is just a job, and people CHOSE their career, so...
 
This works!
I got a 15% discount by doing what the OP suggested!

Thanks to themadrussian for this tip!
 
Where are you guys finding this individual responsibility link? I finally got my Facebook.com email but when I enter it on the Att page I get this:

We could not find your work or school email address in our records. Please try again.

But I don't see any link for individual responsibility. Help??

EDIT: I think they must have caught on to this because I've tried several times through different links to the AT&T page where you enter your FB email and I keep getting that message above. And I tested my FB email and it works so something has changed. Just my luck.

I had to look really hard for the IRU page but when I found it things went smoothly. Try again. The link for the IRU is probably pretty obscure and you may need to use some trial and error to find it. I really doubt they fixed the problem already.

I entered my newly-activated facebook email here... now I'm thinking I screwed it up as I have to wait for my request to be approved. I'm confused as the link in the OP doesn't work and the "IRU" link is nowhere to be found.
 
Yeah this didn't work for me either, as soon as the news got out about this discount, I went to facebook and enrolled in the program for the email address, and it only got approved yesterday. I just went to the ATT link a few minutes ago and my FB email address doesn't work :(

Are you saying you entered your "@facebook.com" email address on att.com and it said you don't qualify?

If so then this hack really is done and I'm sorry for all that missed out.
