Verizon Wireless Education Discounts

Great news for employees with existing Verizon cell phone accounts or for anyone interested in switching to Verizon. You may now receive a 17% employee discount on your personal cell phone voice package and 20% on data packages.
There are two ways to have the discount applied to your account; online or by faxing the attached "Employee End User" form.
A) ON-LINE:
1. Visit www.verizonwireless.com/discount and enter your work email address. You’ll then receive an automated email (sometimes it goes to the Junk folder).
2. Open the email, click on "Get Started" then on "Register Your Line" near the bottom. Fill in a little information and you’re done. If you have a Family Share plan, enter your primary number when prompted for a mobile number.
3. If you'd like, let Ivan Haas (ivan.haas@verizonwireless.com) know when you’re through and he’ll check your account to make sure it “took”.
B) BY FAX
1. Complete the attached form and fax it to the number listed on the form with a copy of one of the following: ISD business card OR ISD picture ID badge OR recent pay stub with sensitive info (pay, social security number etc) blacked-out. Note "Profile 802391" with your submission.
The 17% discount can be applied to any voiceline over $34.99 per month (except the unlimited plan). All lines on the account would receive the 25% accessory discount, 20% discount on PDA data plans and discounts on equipment when eligible to upgrade. Applying the discount to an existing account does not extend your agreement nor alter your upgrade eligibility date. The account must be in the name of the ISD employee.
The customer service number is 800-922-0204.
If you have any questions or problems or need personal guidance, contact our Verizon rep, Ivan Haas, at 206-999-7543 or email ivan.haas@verizonwireless.com.
Please contact Ivan with any Verizon-related questions as all I can do is forward your questions to Ivan.

Even if you don’t have Verizon you should check with your company. Most companies have something like this…I’ve had AT&T for about 7 years or so and I’ve had a similar discount with them the whole time. You should also check with other companies you use; car insurance companies often have discounts for teachers, I know there are more but none are popping up off the top of my head. I believe most companies call it a “federal employee discount”, or something like that. Randall Imes
