My FAN is on my account (logged in and checked) but no discount applied this billing cycle. My account has 2 2g iphones on a family share...
 
I'll believe these discounts when I see them. What does the original e-mail even mean? Data and voice plans? There's no such thing, since it's all bundled into one now. And ONLY to the Nation 450 plan? What? Eh?

Again, believe it when I see it.I hope it's true. 3G iPhone will be mine, then.

No, not only to the Nation 450 plan, that's likely the plan the OP was inquiring about.

There is such thing as separate voice and data plans. I'm adding the $30 data plan to my current Family Talk 550 plan. You're not limited to the choices on the iPhone website, it just simplifies the charges for you.

That's correct - I was inquiring about the Nation 450 plan.

And you're correct - the data plan and voice plan are actually separate plans (they just are bundled on the main page to simplify things).
 
I had them add my corp discount FAN number to my account when I bought the iphone on launch day last year. I get no discount now but it is visible on my account and if I "pretend" that I am signing up for a new plan on say a blackberry, the discount of 25% is visible. Good deal for me as it will be slightly less per month than the original plan.
 
My college email doesn't work :( Hopefully I can get a discount when I get go to the AT&T store on the 23rd to get it :)
 
I just entered all of my email information and did the comfirmation.

I have the FAN # on my account, but am wondering how I find out what % discount I get? Is there a way to see or do I have to wait until the changes are reflected in the bills?

Just "pretend" to sign up for an new account and browse the plan prices. You'll see "original price" and a cheaper price in bold, which would be your discount price on the plans.
 
Can anybody tell me if William Carey University gets a discount? I dont have a way to validate the website says enter your att mobil number but I dont have a number yet. I am omving from Alltel to ATT on the 11th, but i sure would like to know if I get a discount. If any knows of a website with a list of the schools that get a discount that would help me out. I get a discount from apple for my student status. Help!

call cust service or go into a store they can see it, or yea jus wait for the bill, either or
 
Well, I hope the person I spoke it was incorrect then.
I work for a company that gets 15% off ATT, then my friend who's a teacher told me that he used to have the 15% off till he got the 2G iPhone, then they took it out.

I'm not currently with ATT so I called them to verify, he says any other phone/plan the 15% applies to, but not on the iPhone plan.

I'm buying it anyway and I guess just cross my fingers that the guy didn't know what he was talking about.

correct, discounts to the iphone plans it never applied... but to iphone 3G they will ;) finally...
 
I currently receive my discount on my primary line being my girlfriends is the way I set it up so I can get a bigger discount. Just the iPhone line is the only one that does not receive the discount.

yea it never applies to the additional lines, so its good u got the iphone on that one
 
ok so i'm in a family plan. we have five lines in the account. does that mean that we can put all of our schools and stuff info? or do we just put the account holder's info.

like my dad is the owner of the account....so do i just enter his info or can i also add mine and my mom's?

im a little confused..:confused:

no just one discount per account, and yes it has to be the discount of the account holder so where ever ur dad works.
 
Employees (of pretty much any company) are well known not to really know the facts, so I wish there were some definitive proof that FAN discounts are going to apply here. Be nice not to psyche myself up for new iPhones if this isn't the case. For me it's simple. If I get my FAN discount, I'll get two new iPhones. If not, I will get zero new iPhones. :)

Friday can't come soon enough, I guess!

If it does apply, this means you can apply the discount to a 2-person family plan? Or does it only work on single plans?
 
I used to get 22%, but lost it when I got the first iphone. I wasn't thinking about getting a 3g, but if I can get the discount back, I would consider getting one. It will offset the extra $15 charges.
I remember getting my business account number you will have to fill out some paper with a picture id

whether there is one line or 5 lines, FAN discounts only apply to the primary line on the account. so if there are 5 lines on a family plan it will apply to the primary line only... if u had 5 individual plans it would apply to all of them. just works on the base family plans/individual plans...

u didnt actually lose the discount off the account, well ill say u didnt lose the FAN number off of the account, u just stopped seeing the discount come off of your bill every month once u got the iphone, if u get the iphone 3G your discount will automatically kick back into effect. if for some reason someone physically went into your account and took that FAN number off, which nobody would ever have a reason to do so, u could just re add it on when u get the new iphone and it will apply
