hey guys! I actually have a Verizon question(:

[joshwithachance]

well I currently have an iPhone 3GS on AT&T and because my grandma used to work for the state and has the paperwork we get a 15% discount on our bill, does Verizon also offer a similar discount? (I'm 17 so I can't legally buy my own Droid lol).

and hi everyone

I believe so man...my father receives 15% discount on everything. He doesn't work for the state, but it was specifically because his job...

Yes,

Working for state or federal government, you do get a discount. I get 15% for service, 25% accessories.

Hello Josh......

If you don't get an answer to your question I'd recommend calling Verizon directly to find out. Unfortunately I do not know the answer to your question but wanted to welcome you.

Enjoy the forums.

Why can't you buy a Droid if you are under a certain age?

just get a job at best buy. no matter what department you work on you get 15% and 25% off service and accessories respectively.

Because a minor can't legally enter into a contract...

I work for the city ... i get 19% on my line only ... the main line ... secondary line is $20 bucks/ no discount , and every line after that is an additional $10 bucks/ no discount.

I would guess that you don't work for BB. My daughter does and I can tell you that the discounts are MUCH better than that. If you get put on the employee Verizon plan you pay about $20 for everything. Not sure about data but that includes unlimited voice and SMS.

Unfortunately you cannot add family members to that plan. I use my son-in-laws plan which he got through a major utility and we get 21% off every month.

The discounts vary by the size of the company/customer. I know Home Depot get a HUGE discount with AT&T. I believe it is 27%.

I also know of a contractor that was working on a short term project with Dell. He walked into Verizon with my contractor badge on his shirt. They automatically gave him the Dell discount which is more than 20%.

While I would never suggest that anyone do anything dishonest I seriously doubt that a cellular sales employee could tell a real employee badge from one that was cobbled together with a downloaded Dell logo and laminated with a picture printed on it.

Discounts vary. If you want to impress the VZW CS Rep, call in and identify yourself as an AT&T customer, and are thinking of switching - and that you need them to look into their "EWI Profile" for specifically what the discount is for (the state).
