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...

I don't follow. If I get the "base" 1400 minute family plan, will the FAN discount apply?

yes.
1400m plan (ex. 3 lines)
$80 primary, discount would come off of this line
$9.99 secondary, no discounts
$9.99 secondary, no discounts.

say u had 3 indivdual 450m plans instead.
$39.99 ind plan, discount applies
$39.99 ind plan, discount applies
$39.99 ind plan, discount applies

so only primaries on family plans, and any individual plan.
 
Don't get your hopes up folks. I'm on the line with ATT right now. The first rep said it would apply but had to transfer me for some reason. The second rep said it wouldn't apply to either 2g or 3g.

I told him that's not what I've heard and its not what the previous rep said so he's checking with someone else.

I've got a 2G family plan with 2 2G iphones...its important to me to find out whether 3G is eligible too cause for $199 if I get the discount...

Update: I'm still getting jerked around. I just read the email from Mr. Bingham and he's clueless. He's gonna conference me in with someone else cause I told him I want to speak with someone who can apply the discount...
Update: ATT says discount applies to 3G ONLY. 2G does not get a discount. If you hear differently post the rep's name please. Patricia said so...

Thank you again. But what is this secondary business? $9.99? I thought the family 1400 minute plan is $149.99. Is there an extra $9.99 to pay, too?

Just trying to prepare myself for total cost for 2 lines total, family plan, 1400 minutes....

Thanks again...

PS The text plans, AT&T make it sound like the only text plan is unlimited for $30 for a family plan. Can you add the $5 plan for 200 texts per person instead, so $10 for two people? And does texting include international texts? Thank!

the 1400 min plan assumes both phones are iphones, so it is as follows
($'s)
80 - primary 1400m plan
9.99 - secondary line attached to 1400m plan
30 - iphone 3g data
30 - iphone 3g data
-----------------
149.99

and yes u can add the smaller text packages if u want to, u dont have to get unlimited.

edit: so if one if the phones is not an iphone jus take off one of the $30 data plans.
 
I have a quick question. I heard that if you want a corporate discount that you would HAVE to go to the AT&T store, but I don't want to, so I can just buy it from the Apple store, sign up for a family contract w/ 2 iPhones, and then later go down to the AT&T store and activate my discount there right??

ya u can go and put ur discount on whenever u want, u dont have to do it at the time of purchase
 
So, just to be sure, the student discounts can apply to any student, right? I just want to make sure there isn't something like it only applies to certain universities, like the varied corporate discounts.
 
cWeems said:
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

Thanks, cWeens. My fan number still shows on my account. I tried to ask an employee at the att store that I deliver to, but there going to get some more information for me and tell me tomorrow.

only certain universities, PM me yours and ill check it tomorrow.
 
somebody tell me if this is correct -

so i've read through this thread, and i'm still a little confused. my gf and I are considering getting the new iphone. We'd both be new customers to ATT.

My GF gets a 20% discount through her university, and I only qualify for 5%. So let's say the two of us signed up for a 700 minute shared plan at $130, and then tacked on unlimited texts for a total of $160/mo. Would she be able to apply her 20% discount to the whole thing, making it $128 ($160*.8) all in?

Someone tell me if my line of thinking is correct here...

Alright. I got it. Thanks for the clarification. Now to wait till Friday and see if my IBM FAN will work....
 
Why is it everytime i call ATT, they all say the FAN discounts dont apply to the iphone. I specifically agreed that for the first gen that was true but told them for the new 3G discounts will be allowed. Is there anything official posted so i can call back yet again.
 
Question, If im attending a university and I graduate will the FAN discount still apply through the entire 2year agreement with ATT?
 
1. Other
2. Attention: 99 rockingham park, salem NH: Cust is traveling to your area for buisness and is wanting to upgrade to the new Iphone. Cust is IRU and can only upgrade in a corp store. Cust lives in WI and there are no corp stores in 100 mile radius. we are asking if at all possible to upgrade phone in your market. If you can process upgrade make sure that customers business discount is added back on as the New Iphone is able to receive service discount on both voice and data. Please refer to specific notes in the account. Victoria Clark
