My Email from AT&T (Student/Corporate Discounted Rate Plans)

I have a family plan. 2 phones right now, and will be adding the 3G on 7/11.

currently, my corp. discount applies to my base monthly fee of $50, and not to my total bill (50 plus 2nd phone of 9.99).

I plan to add a 3G and will then have a total of 3 phones, 3G plus two Nokia flip phones. Is it possible to make my 3G phone that I will be adding to be the primary number so that I can get my corp. discount on the most expensive item (50 plus the 30 data rate, $80 bucks?)

The paperwork is claimed to be what sales reps got on the 3g Iphone...I will continue to hope that discounts will work, cuz there shouldn't be any reason why it doesn't.

Are they really? I have a FAN number on my account since day 1 and i haven't received any discounts on my bill for the 2g iphone...

Interesting. Did you apply the FAN discount when you had the iphone; or were you already an ATT customer before?

I wasn't an att user before I got the iphone...so right after I got the iphone, I added the FAN to my ATT account...never received one discount to my bill...after 3 months of having it on there I was told by ATT sorry the iphone plans don't have discounts on them...GRR..i hope they start now!
 
ijohn,

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense since there was no future 3G phone coming out that offers FAN discount. I was told by an ATT rep that iphone (2Gs) will be allowing FAN discounts, (voice/data not on phone price) due to allowance of 3G discounts. I just received my first bill but can't open it up (pdf) until the next bill cycle.

very interesting...did they say when the iphone 2g plans will be allowing fan discounts? i haven't gotten the new bill yet on att..im going to have to keep my eye open on it
 
I received 15% off for working at Radio Shack. There are many places that receive 25% and up. There is one company that receives 35% off, I just can't remember who. I will have to look this up.
 
I was told by an AT&T rep they won't do any discounting on the iphones or plans. When I looked at my plan (which I get a 15% buisness discount) it said in the discount box on the right of the screen in ( ) that iphone plans (didn't specify which version) weren't included.

I'll be a new AT&T customer on 7/11 and trying to decide whether to go to an AT&T or Apple store. I'd like to go to the Apple store but I have some doubts whether they'd be able to handle the FAN discount logistics. My question is whether the FAN discount can be added after activation or whether the contract must be initiated in a certain way to get the discount.

I believe you can add the FAN at anytime...after i signed up for the first iphone, I had to email my company id in since I didn't have an email address...

I have also heard you can go to the ATT store and they can do it for you there....you might want to call your local att store so you know exactly what documents you need!
 
2G iPhones did not received discounts because the plans were revenue sharing with Apple. Steve Jobs did not allow discounts due to he would receive less money. Now that the plans are no longer revenue sharing I am sure you will be able to like others are reporting.

Here is what I got from AT&T when asking about upgrading one of my phones on a Family Plan to the new 3g iphone:

"Upon reviewing your concern, I would like to advise that your understanding is correct. Your line ending in xxxx is eligible to purchase the iPhone for $199 for 8GB (black) and $299 for 16GB (black or white), with an $18 upgrade fee billed to the following statement. The iPhone Unlimited Data plan for $30 is required, as well as a two year agreement."

So looks like if you have a family plan and are upgrading one of the phones you just need to add the data plan to the phone in the family plan that will be the new iphone.

ok so how do I find the correct FAN number? On the AT&T Premier webpage, at the bottom it gives me 2 FAN numbers:
CA COLA/GOVERNMENT EMP Foundation Account Numbers: TDMA 00016912, GSM 00061918

Which of the two numbers is the one I take to AT&T store on the 11th?

I was told in order to use the FAN discount it had to be at a AT&T store.
