First let me say sorry if this was posted before, I searched and found nothing on it.
I just got off the phone with a T-mobile Rep and, he explained to me, that If i sign up for a new contract when purchasing the Nexus I will not be eligable for my 15% corporate discount on rate plane.
Has anyone successfully used their discount on a rate plan using the N1? I find it hard to believe that Google cares that much about me getting a 15% discount.
Thanks!
I couldn't even get my corporate discount on the regular non-contract plans. I decided to downgrade my minutes, and I have to pay full price for the 500 min, unlimited data and text plan, which is $60.
Their reasoning was that "it's already discounted," whatever that means.

Oh, I just wanted to add that you can just buy the "unlocked" phone for full price and use your existing plan. That might save you in the long run, depending on how much you pay at the moment.
Yea I am currently on the Even More Plus (no Contract) and was willing to sign the two-years to get the nexus subsidized, then use my discount to get the 1000 min + Text + Web for 75 with insurance but I was told Google will not allow Discounted rate plans with the N1...
The lack of corporate discount has nothing to do with the N1 and everything to do with the Everything More + plans. EM+ plans are not eligible for corporate discount to the base plans, though the add-ons may be discounted and activation fees may be waived depending on the corp discount. This is true regardless of the phone you use.
If you are on a regular EM plan (or an older eligible plan) you can still have your corporate discount with that plan and the N1.
The way I know it as a T-Mobile rep is that if you are on EvenMore, you get get the discount (lets say it was 15%) plus the waived act fees. If you are on Even More Plus, you still get the waived act fee but you dont get the monthly discount because its already cheaper than the Contracted one with your discount on that. I understand were everyone comes from cause the discount should be applied the any rate plan but, I don't think T-Mo would be getting enough money to expand the network like we want and bring in the devices that we want if they did do that especially because they give discounts to so many different organization (business, AAA, alumni, students, faculty, gov, churchs, etc). But just to lay it out so every one understands let take EvenMoreTTW Unlimited and EvenMorePlusTTW Unlimited. EM would be $85 after discount and EM+ is still 80. Usually if you get a great discount on your phone and monthly, EM would come out better (just realize that the phone discount would only be for the new act and not upgrades later) but if its just that plan you get a discount on EM+ is the way to go for the long run.
Yea I am on the EM+ but was willing to switch to the EM plan to use my discount. I was told that the discount COULD NOT be used because when purchasing the phone from google they only allow Individual Plans not Corporate Plans.
This made no sense to me but thats what I was told.

Since my significant other is on a discounted plan with an N1 I am not sure as to the validity of the argument. I personally am on the loyalty plan and do not see a point in changing. Did you call business suppport? if you just dialed 611 I would not be surprised with that answer, look at the extremely inconsistent answers on everything else (plans, insurance, support...) coming out of the CSRs.
Since you already have the phone, and I assume you got it subsidized at the new contract rate ($179), your options may be more limited. If however you are on a corporate plan and bought it at existing customer subsidy (now $279 if memory serves) or unsubsidized you most certainly can have a corporate discount.
i bought unlocked so Tmobile didnt touch my corporate discount let alone know im using a n1
ok i got it all taken care of, the original CS Rep was misunderstanding what I asked. Glad I got it all cleared up.
Thanks for those of you who posted and chimed in with responses!!
Ok this may sound weird but I got the phone on contract by adding a line to my account like I stated. I just decided (after ordering the phone) that I dont wanna be on a contract and i just want to buy the phone outright.
Can I just cancel the added line with T-Mobile and pay the Recovery Fee or 350.00 to google or do I have to return the phone then let them refund my account then order it again unsubsidized.
I guess my real question is How do i go about getting google to charge me the ERF so I dont have to ship and wait for a refund just to order it again?
When I went in and got my SIM card, I got my discount. Activation fee waived, and 15% off my plan (everything more plus or w/e...the $60 one)
Also just as a referce for everyone, so if you have a corp discount you can apply, just go into any store after do the EM plan buying a N1 and then the will still add it. I have gotten no word from T-Mobile that we aren't allowed to add the discount to the plan. Its pretty much the phone is just sold through google, once your plan is set up and everything yo can do whatever as far as adding discount or changing plan. Honestly on our side you wouldn't see anything. You just can't switch to EM+ cause that would cause a ETF. As far as the loyalty plan, that 50 for unlimited minutes and 35 more if you add texting and data, so you would save $5 a month and make up the migration fee of $35 over time but just up to you if a contract is a problem or not thats all. I probably would stay contracted if you like Tmo on the single line loyalty it doesn't get too much better.
Even More Plus plans were never eligible for corporate discounts, but Even More plans are. I have a discount on mine. However, T-mobile dropped the discount... so when I switched to buy the subsidized phone, my discount went from 15% to 6%. Sucks, but better than nothing.
DynaBass139: Sort of off topic but I would not switch to EM+ because I would lose number portability. I am not under any contract obligation at this point so ran the numbers and debated the subject a great deal. Granted I am unlikely to change carriers but I have had the same phone number for close to a decade now. If I decide/need to switch carriers I want to keep it.. The deal is good enough, though I wish T-Mo would drop the web to $30 to put it on parity with EM+ for cost.
(I have historically not subsidized my phones because T-Mo has not had the phones I have wanted. I have gone through a long list of HTC phones starting at the Blue Angel in 2004 I think, down to the N1 I bought on release day. If a N2 comes out on T-Mo with a keyboard I might try and subsidize that though. 2 $500+ phones in a year would be a bit too much.)
I was just gonna say I went in the day after I got mine and received the Fedex corporate discount no prob. Too late.
Ok i am just going to stay on my EM+ without the discount but I made the mistake of choosing the subsidy by opening a new line.
anyone know if I can just cancel that new line that I opened and just pay the other 350.00 off. i know google has the equipment recovery fee so how does that get charged?
use below link
shop.sprint.com/NASApp/onlinestore/Action/DisplayAisleLanding
( I can't post link as new user )
you get 100 instant rebate off 349 instead of mail in rebate
activation fee waived + using coupon code SAVE50 you get 50 dollar off on your next bill ( $25 each month 2 month total) free next day shipping
best part is you get 27% off your monthly bill ( estimate 61 dollar a month )
enjoy

That link is only valid if you're on a corporate liable account, meaning the bill is in a company name and it's paid by the company. But then again, if that was the case, you get that pricing in the store too.
Used a different corporate store/link. It's worth noting that the SAVE50 code is only for new lines of service, not for upgrades. I left SERO to get it (on a 5-line plan, all Epics). Ultimately, I would have been better off going with EPRP and buying the phones on newegg/wirefly/amazon for $199 (assuming they support EPRP, which I was never 100% able to confirm). EPRP plan rate is virtually identical to corp discount now that Sprint removed the discount for lines 3-5.
hey guys!!
i recently decided to go with t-mobile as my service provider and i got an awesome deal in terms of phone pricing and a discounted monthly bill & figured i'd spread the word
with t-mobile you get:
10% on qualifying monthly recurring charges for new and existing customers (includes voice, text & e-mail services)*exclusions apply
waived activation fees
free 2 day shipping
FREE and/or discounted devices with new activation
AND a 30 day return policy
you can also get the Truly Unlimited Classic plan with unlimited talk, text, and data (including 2GB of full-speed data) for only $79.99/month per line before the 10% discount.
to get your discount:
call (866) 464-8662 and hit option 3. then enter promo code 13997TMOFAV. you MUST state you are a member of student rate and notthe school you attend to get these discounts.
i hope this helps people who are looking for a new service provider!!
I get 25% off on att. A lot employers have much better discounts

thanks for putting this up!
it's a great alternative for people who do not have the opportunity to get an employee discount.
got this recently. Sucks that it extends my contract though ><
Guys,
I got even better deal for same use.
Simple mobile.
I pay 38$ per month for unlimited 3g voice and SMS.
Been good service over t mobile
Quite happy.
with verizon being the number one service provider, that also comes with the ability to charge whatever they want...basically.
anyway, i found that student rate offers an 8-10% discount on recurring monthly charges from verizon.
discounts are available to new customers and/or if you are adding a line and upgrade.
to get your discount:
purchase your wireless device at verizon wireless, amazon wireless or wirefly.com using student rate's links.
[google student rate and their wireless promos are on the front page]
this is awesome! can you go to a verizon store and apply the discount that way??
interesting

Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
in order to get the discount you have to go through student rate.
go to their site and click the link.
I think that this is the deal the OP was referring to - LINK to deal
any little discount is better than no discount.
if you do not have an opportunity to use a college discount or an employee discount, going through student rate is the best way to go.
i made a purchase through student rate and am very happy.
i did not combine promos but i was able to get an iphone at a discounted price and opted to get a lowered monthly bill. i should expect to see the discounted applied within 2-3 billing cycles.
i signed up yesterday with student rate and used this link.
i just followed the instructions and i should expect to see the discount applied within 2-3 billing cycles.
i have purchased puma sneakers and stuff for my girlfriend from the site, so i trust it.

you can, but i think you're limited to the number of lines that can get the discount
is this promotion still going??
they have more than just cell phone deals and you don't have to be a student to use them

Never mind
these are on-going promotions that [sr] has with verizon, at&t, t-mobile, etc.
your discount varies upon eligibility.
i used a deal with student rate a while back and the deal is still the same. i was able to to get the discount off my monthly bill within 2 cycles.
i have signed up for cell phone contracts via student rate before and they have always met expectations.
I have signed up for 3 phones with them and always got a discounted bill within 2 billing cycles, a discounted phone and whatever else that happened to be mentioned within the deal.
When my contract is up I am going to use them again! Thanks!
has anyone recently used this deal? or any of their student rate deals?
wow
they also got this for tmo my bill went from 130 to 115
Hell, if you work for many companies, federal or stat government, or a student you can receive both discounts on data an the voice/text plan. Many times accessories such as cases, bluetooth, batteries, etc also get a nice little discount. Enter in you email addy at vzw.com then choose employees and you get one back with your discount.
i know people are aware that at&t offers discounts via college's and/or employer's..but if those options aren't available to you, you can still get a discount!!
for new customers:
10% off monthly recurring charges
Waived Activation Fee
Free Shipping, and
Heavily discounted handsets
for already existing customers:
10% off monthly recurring charges
Waived upgrade fees (weekends)
Discounted handsets (for upgrades)
Free Shipping
to get the discount:
google student rate and go to their site.
their wireless promos are on the front page (you can't miss it).
go through them and you can obtain a discount phone & monthly bill!!
is there any way to go to an at&t location and still apply the discount via student rate?
Most carriers offer something for a lot of companies/schools. Just ask.
I've even heard people getting discounts over the phone just by asking nicely even if they don't qualify.
I have 25% with Sprint..
I get a 15% "discount" for being a union member.

Sounds fishy..

That doesn't seem very legit. I'd go into a store directly and ask for a student discount. The rep I talked to the other day said he didn't know if it counted for community colleges, but he said it did count for uni. Probably you just need a .edu email and then it's good, but yeah, ask.
sweet deal att has there, luckily i work for Allied Barton we get a major discount of 21%

i applied with student rate myself and i would call them for your own security and reassurance for yourself.
also check out their website. it's legit. but once again, check it out for yourself and see what your thoughts are on it.
just google studentrate
hope this helps!!
it's better than not having a discount at all.
it's worth a try.
I apply discounts for customers all day and never have I ever seen that before.
Try your luck here with your employee/school email.

I hope you know that they could easily sabotage your AT&T account and steal your identity with just that little piece of information that they asked for.
student rate offers a ton of discounts, not just cell phone deals.
it's a pretty good site to get a variety of deals.
great source.

Hmmm yea a 10% discount is def not worth giving out that sort of info

my school gives 10% and the paperwork is lengthy..
i went through student rate and it was just easier.
i've purchased through them before so i'm comfortable.
i haven't heard anything bad about them. just read reviews.
I just called customer service and they said that they don't offer student plans...but then again...it was customer service. Hahaha.
i believe in order to get the discount you have to do it on student rate's website. they have a promo code or a link.
It depends if your school has a bsuiness account with AT&T or not.

you can apply them to a family plan but they limit you on the amount of lines that get the discount.
