Are the $60/1GB and $75/2GB smartphone single line plans eligible for the Military discount?

I noticed in the FAQ's for the single line plans that they are eligible for the EDGE discount. I just recently was able to get my Veteran status verified for my Military discount. FYI, DO NOT try to do the verification process online, it takes forever and three days! It only took thirty minutes in line at the retail location versus online, where I've been waiting for five days and it STILL is not verified!!! Anyways, while at the retail location I asked about their smartphone plans and I was quoted $75.00 for the single line plan at 2GB, but was also told that it was already discounted and thus was not eligible for my Military discount. If that is true then those plans should not be eligible for the EDGE discount either, but they are. So what is the correct answer?

Okay, so this is what I get out of all this.... The Military discount provides a 15% discount to monthly plans of $34.99 and above.  A 25% discount on accessories is also available. So I could get a Single Line Plan with 2GB of data for $75.00 a month OR I could get a More Everything Plan for one line ($40.00 Line Access Fee - 15% Military Discount = $34.00) with 2GB of shareable data ($50.00 - 15% Military Discount = $42.50) for $76.50? In other words, a person without a Military (or for that matter any other) discount can get the SAME service cheaper (especially with the EDGE Single Line rate being only $65.00) than I could, after having served this great country of ours. Let's not forget that the Single Line plans are NOT eligible for the Military Discount, but they ARE eligible for the EDGE discount... Well ain't that just swell. What a (removed) to those of us that served! Thanks for much of nothing Verizon!!
If I am wrong, please forgive me, but then again that is why I am posting this, for clarification. I can not understand for the life of me why Verizon would not allow the Military Discount for the Single Line Plans, since they DO allow for the EDGE discount. Come on...

  • Does anyone know if the $60 unlimited talk/text/2GB of data is also eligible for corporate discounts?

    Does anyone know if the $60 unlimited talk/text/2GB of data is also eligible for corporate discounts?  Or is that plan not eligible?
    Thanks

        I know the answer to this question Jimbo2552! The $60 plan outlined in your post is a loyalty plan and it is not eligible for employee discount, as it is already a discounted plan.

  • Hey (: I have the new iPad and I want to ask what is "healthier" for the battery : turn the device off in the night or keep it on during the night ? Thank you !

    Hey (: I have the new iPad and I want to ask what is "healthier" for the battery : turn the device off in the night or keep it on during the night ? Thank you !

    BTW, statements like
    "Use the device until the battery has drained to the point of self-shutdown. Basically, use it until it turns itself off."
    in articles like the one at http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/ are complete BS and if you do follow their "advice", your battery life will be severely hampered. Particularly if you also follow one of the comments: "Step One.One: Leave the device for 5+ hours before start charging. This will fully drain the battery." Well, the guy that advised the latter certanly doesn't know anyhting about lithium batteries and the damage deep discharging does to them.
    Again, what the article (and the above-cited comment) advices is complete b*llsh*t and noone should really do this.

  • Yesterday I purchased a new ipod classic to replace one that had worn out. The price was $179. I wonder if I am eligible for the extended warranty for $59. Can't seem to navigate through the apple support option to get answer. Anyone know?

    yesterday I purchased a new ipod classic to replace one that had worn out. The price was $179. I wonder if I am eligible for the extended warranty for $59. Can't seem to navigate through the apple support option to get answer. Anyone know?

    Put in the serial number but was not offered an extended apple care plan. I guess if you purchase a new one because your old one is out of warranty you get a deal for $179 but you don't get a chance for an extended warranty. You don't get a new box or earbuds, just a brand new iPod. Good deal but since my first died under warranty, got a new one for free, second one I smashed the screen and got a new one for (I don't remember) and now the hard drive went and I paid $179 for a new one, I was hoping to get an extended warranty. But I guess not...
    Thank you!

  • I want to get off my family plan and start a new single-line plan.

    (I'm not sure if this is posted in the right place, forgive me if it is)
    Here's my issue. I'm currently a secondary line under my dad's line for Verizon. Now, I love verizon, and I want to keep them as my service provider and keep my phone number. But, my dad has not had a job for almost a year and does not pay the cell phone bill on time, to the point where I can't even get on My Verizon and edit our plan or anything. I also no longer get along with my dad and will be moving out soon. I cannot give him half of the phone bill which I would so willingly pay, because any money he receives, no matter what it's purpose, he spends on cigarettes and lotto. So quite frankly, I'm afraid of losing my phone service because of him. 
    I want my own SINGLE line. I am perfectly able to pay my bill on time (I've already checked out possible plans). I need to break off of my dad's family plan. Please help.

    This thread should help.
