25% really?

i have the most u can get off for non employees of VZW and thats 20%
ive never heard of 25% for a corp disc who wasn't an actual employee of the cellular company.

either way they, VZW, had to verify that i was with the company with my business card and my work email...so u might wanna be careful with that

No the 25% I get is for sprint n I guess you gpt yours cause you work for a company with a Verizon discount?... see im trying to get the discount without actually working for a company or being a VZW employee :/

Verizon contacts the company in some way, I'm not exactly sure.

Now they actually require a work ID or check stub, work email and also another form being a drivers license or the Employee Faxback form. At least in my stores to setup a discount they do.

yea what vzw did was send out an email to my work email with a "form" verifying that i worked for the company, and as mentioned i had to supply my business card for verification.

the drivers license was a given when i opened the acct some years ago, but when they contacted me in Jan of 09 to verify that i was still with the company after 3 yrs i was shocked.

So that's what the form is used for...thanks for explaining! I never knew but did know it couldn't be pointless...hehe

Also knew Verizon should know about the loop in sprints employee discounts. We all do in our stores!!!

To get a discount on Verizon you have to fill out a form. I wondered where the form went and someone asked how they proved that you work there. The answer was given.
