I'm sure most people know about corporate discounts but for those that don't, check with your employer and your college (if you went) to see if they have an agreement for corporate discounts. My company gets 10% off and through my college I get 15% off. Even alumni are eligible for the discount. I obviously use the discount from my school. (just got laid off so couldn't use the one from work anyways)
That could save you a lot of money on some plans. However, the discounts only apply to contracted plans. The non-contract plans are not eligible for corporate discounts.

My company has discounts for att, verizon and sprint. No love for tmobile.

If you sign up for AMWAY global you get 12% discount on t mobile. Its only 50 dollars a year but you need referral which is very easy. If anything I can refer you. I save about $20 a month. I only spend 50 a year. Multiply 20 x 12(months) that's 240 - 50, that's $190 a year I save!! And if you have higher rates like family plans you can save even more!!!

Just tell Tmobile that you work for Walmart. I believe they give you a 15% discount.
Usually colleges you get 15% but if you have Even More Plus tmobile only give you 6%

You can't just tell them that they ask for your employee number to verify your employment also just to let everyone know when u do get the discount sometimes ur bill due date might change

Please provide a source, I work for tmo and I can tell you that discounts are in full effect for even more plans(contract) and it is a great tool to use since all the other carriers offer something of the sort.
Also AAA members no longer get discount unless they already had discount applied, AAA pulled out a while ago

I'm a law enforcement officer and i get 15% off my bill =D
I've been trying to get a student discount on Sprint's HTC EVO but it's been
out of stock online on Sprint's site for quite a while now. So yesterday I
found that Student rate, a student discount website, is offering a deal
where you can order from their studentrate amazon link and then email
[email protected] with your order # and they will apply a 23% discount
to your account. Seems like a good alternative since EVOs are out of stock
on the Sprint site. What do you think?
Did you call/email them to make sure that's how it works? I didn't think 23% was available from Sprint unless you were from certain states or something
If the discount is anything like employer discounts the 23 percent is on the plan it self and not the hardware. At least that's what my discount is.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
From what I've seen the discount is 23% and yes it's off the monthly plan. You can find some more info HERE
Yep, the 23% discount is off your monthly bill. It's only valid with certain schools because it goes through the faculty discount program at some uni in VA, I think...It works for Boise State (in Idaho), though.

I was looking at my account today, and realizing that between my wife and I we use VERY FEW minutes altogether.
The overwhelming majority, and I am talking about 90-95% of our calls are either off-peak or mobile to mobile.
What I am wondering is what is the best way for me to go about lowering this bill. We have 1500 minutes, plus all the unlimited stuff Sprint offers.
I want to keep the unlimited Data, but am not terribly concerned about anything else.
Ideas? Anything at all would be greatly appreciated aside from calling me names and questioning my humanity
I'm not a Sprint employee (soon to be one), but I have found that the 1500 minute plan is the cheapest plan that includes the mobile to mobile talk (I looked into this a few weeks back for myself) and found that there's not really any other options. There is no plan less than 1500 minutes that includes data and text.

If you want to keep data, text messages then you are on the best plan for you two. Trust me.
Yup, I'm with the other guys as well. I'm on the exact same plan for that reason, and we don't come close to using 1500 minutes, even though we don't have a landline.

I work for Sprint corporate and I hate to say it, but the $129.99 Shared Everything Data Plan 1500 Minute one is the lowest plan you may have if you have one or more smartphones or one of the 3 Samsung Instinct Series devices on your wireless account with us. If you don't already have an NVP discount on it, you may wish to stop by one of our retail stores to inquire on how you may qualify for one of these discounts.

Yeah, you can get any corporate discount without having to sign a new contract. You should be able to do it through your employer (or where ever you get your discount from) and it will take effect without a new contract.
All else fails...call Sprint and have them work it out.
I've got a Citibank discount of 27% off, but it's only on the main line and my bill is still $178/month on 1500 minute shared. (I have 4 lines total.)

Yeah.
Overall, it's 40 something % wage-based.
when I used to buy my watches directly from sellers from Switzerland, they always put in to description of the goods: movement $$$, case $$$, strap $$$ to avoid paying duty taxes. Anyway,even if they did that, I have sometimes received customs bill from UPS or Fedex, and the copy was sent to the IRS as well, so I always end up paying the import tax. I can only reccomend to you to pay the tax, because once I didn't, and they find me, and it took almost a full year, and I end up paying interest on the charge as well. No fun messing with government. ( I live in US)
I got the same form from fedex, I didn't have to pay anything.
There is no import tax on cell phones and smartphones in the US.

I've had mine for 3 weeks now with no import duty (coming from Handcent in the UK to the US.) I did have the issue with them claiming insufficient paperwork, so I filled out the form, clearly showing it's a cell phone, and sent it in.

Unfortunately not since it is still a week away from being released. You might have to wait until Thanksgiving/Valentine's Day for the SGS3 to be free since they usually offer these specials around holidays.
I went into a Tmobile store for a new sim card and while I was there inquired about the terms. If I were eligible, I would have to change my plan and my per month cost would end up being much higher than it is now. So if you take them up on this, make sure you understand the terms and conditions as it is not as easy as walking in and getting a new phone for free. You have to pay the 300 (for the OneS) plus taxes and upgrade fees, keep the line open until you get your rebate back, and change your plan to one that may not be better for you.
If I had an upgrade available, I would buy it from Bestbuy as it is only 100 and you dont have to change your plan, just extend it. Plus no waiting for a rebate.
