how the heck are you guys getting such high student/company discounts? (on your plans)
Damn my company only gives me a 10% discount
That's okay, my brother has a friend that works for AT&T and he put that I work for HP and I get a 25% discount now. Pretty sweet, but through my work I get 18% if I didn't have the HP discount.
well, just talked to a very helpful att rep and she said that the discount will not be applied to my 2g iphone but I will get it on my 3g phone so I will definitely be upgrading...
EDIT:
btw, the discount WILL apply to both data and voice

It all depends on your university you attend. There is a section of att's website that has a section that you enter your university or work email and they send you an email to take you the discount website with the discount prices.
Yeah, why don't you call again and see what they tell you this time.
This part is still not clear to me because Im being told a different thing everytime i talk an ATT rep.

Doesn't that pretty much show that they have no idea what is going on. Sounds like ATT to me.

well, she said they just had comprehensive training today for the very first time, she really seemed to know what she was talking about and mentioned how much confusion there was. she said she was reading directly from the memos released so I believe her. she gave me her first and last name, put a note in my account about it and sent it to my email in case I have any problems. she did say that I have to upgrade at a brick and morter att store... I believe her for what its worth
the woman I spoke with said to make sure you mention it in store so they can add it straight away... you might not be able to add it online or over phone...
That is pretty much true because you have to present proof that you are either employed by the company you say you are or attend the school you say you do.
its strange though because for mine she said "so they can reapply your discount" I took it to mean that I have the discount on my account because I signed up online with my school email address and they verify with that. Although its just not in effect for me until I go 3G because of the clause with the special contract apple had with at&t on the 2G phone
Very interesting. I was under the impression it could be added at any time. But if you want the discount right away, it sounds like you should do it at the store. can anyone confirm that if it's not done when you buy it, it won't work?
Question, according to the email I received im eligible for a discount but the att premier site doesn't say anywhere what my discount percentage is for my monthly bill. anybody?
No no not what i meant. You can add it at any time, I just wanted to make the point that you had to have proof when it is added to your account.
Ahhhh!, my bad. Cool. So I'll guess I can wait to add later since my wife won't be with me when buying the iphones. Thanks!
Thanks very much for the link, very very helpful.
Anyone know how long has this discount been going on for?
I feel kind of cheated not being told by the AT&T rep that sold me my phone about this offer.
Wait so do I have to already be a ATT customer to see what my discount would be? Im on the site that the email liked me to but nothing about discount on calling plan.
I've read that it usually takes one to two billing cycles for the discount to take in place. I don't know if this applies to when you do it online or also if you do it in store.
I'm going to have to do it online because I don't have an ID for my school yet, so I couldn't "prove" it to AT&T. Also the phone wont be in my name, and I don't know if AT&T would apply a discount for me even though I'm not the account holder. Obviously they wouldn't be able to determine this online.
Once you're logged into Premiere, click on Current Offers which is located on the top right and it should show the discount.
I went into my ATT store today and realized I was elgible for a discount through my employer. A 25% discount which I was blown away by.
They said I cant use it on my iPhone line when I get it on the 11th, but on my other line which will is not an iPhone. Looking forward to that!!

you're telling a student not to get an Apple product?
... what the hell is wrong with you?!
This is kinda the same thing some ATT told me. He said I can only get the discount if there is another phone on my account, and the iphone cant be the primary phone. I hate this No, then Yes bull***t. Im just gonna plan without it, and if can be applied, then great.
