I've read some other threads with folks conjecturing about how Corporate Discounts will be applied....but I've checked it out now that the new Shared Data Plans are in effect (and have realized I would've been better off sticking with an OLD plan when I had the chance about a week ago).
As a new VW (Verizon Wireless) customer as of July 1, 2012...I signed up expecting a 20% discount off my bill as a government employee (as I was told in the store would be applied).
It turns out the 20% discount is only off of the DATA portion of your bill....ie: the $50 charge ofr a Gig of Data will only cost you $40.
HOWEVER, the charges for the phone lines on your account ($40 for a smartphone and $30 for a "dumb" phone) are not subject to discount and will be billed as $40 and $30.
What a hideous rip-off. I knew I should've gone to AT&T last week when I was not tied to any contract and taken their 15% government discount...would've been a much better deal for me.
Beware before signing up for a VW account.
That's ridiculous.
