Who
Qualifies?
Employees, members and the families*
of a wide variety of corporations, governments,
schools and organizations, the larger, the better:
- Employees
of many corporations
- Government
employees: federal, state, local and special districts
- Schools:
students, faculty and employees
- Non-profit
organizations
- Unions,
co-ops and credit unions
- Military,
including veterans and families
- Nurses and
medical professionals
* In most
cases, these discounts apply to the employee and their family. Most
carriers have a broad interpretation of who is
"family". Spouses,
children and siblings often don't have the same last
name. There are quite a few people who got added to a family
plan by adding
"Uncle" to their name.
A big wireless discount is often a recruiting tool for some employers.
What would you prefer, a nice new smartphone with a hefty
monthly discount or a company-paid medical plan? Seriously?

More Ways
Workers Can Save on Wireless:
- Join the Company's Shared Plan
Many employers have a "shared" plan that can
save
you more than an employee plan. Some will allow you
to add all or
part of your wireless charges to your expense account.
Joining
their plan may have some additional obligations at work, but your final
cost could be Zero!
- Go
for a FAMILY PLAN
instead of an Employee plan.
Some family plans are more generous than "employee" plans.
- Check Our Lower-Your-Wireless-Cost Page
There can be secrets and programs you didn't know about, or that
carriers don't make generally known.
- Switch to Prepaid
Prepaid
is a great way to get a better price on wireless.
You can bring your own phone or get one at a non-subsidized
price. Prices start at almost FREE!
- Switch
Carriers
If
you clicked on one of the Eligibility
links, above, and didn't get a
good deal, try one of the other carriers. They could make it
worth your while to switch.
- Get a Better Job
This may have more benefits than you'd expect. Don't forget
to ask about the corporate wireless plan. The retirement plan
can wait. Where are your priorities, right?
