Default July 12th Question

So I received a packet in the mail today telling me that on July 12, 2009 I will officially be a Verizon customer. Sssssoooooo does this mean I will be eligible for my 20% employee discount offered through my employer? That would be great! Also on July 12th is crackberry gonna combine the verizon and alltell forum? Thanks for the help!

As long as in your area, the actual billing conversion part is done...I would think you would be able to get your discount. I would check with CS since certain parts of the country are being converted before others.

Also, I doubt the forums would be combined since Alltel will still be around for awhile. Even once the Alltel/VZW part is done, there is still the other part of Alltel that was purchased by ATT.

Do you think I would get 20% off my "Alltel" plan?

Yeah I'm hoping the alltel forum will stick around because the alltel market in my area (NW Ohio) was not swallowed up by verizon and won't be merged with ATT either. So alltel will still be around for a while longer, just on a much smaller scale.

Yes, you will get the discount if your employer is eligible.

My area was transitioned on May 30. I put my employer information in on on the website on June 1 and got the discount immediately. I'm still on an Alltel plan with and Alltel device.

Yup! Just make sure you go to the verizon wireless website to put your employer's email in (if you have one). If not, you will have to go to the Verizon store and show your paycheck as a validation of your employment.

Even though it will be Verizon you are still allowed to have your alltel plan and services. Nothing will change on that end. They will honor your discount without any issues.

This is awesome news.

The corporate account person I talked to had told me I'd have to switch to a VZNWLS plan to do this

I get an 18% discount with mine

I have a BB and 3 additional phones on an Alltel plan and we were told in order to get the corp. discout we had to upgrade to VZW phones and switch to a VZW plan. They said that we could upgrade all 4 phones now regardless of the contract dates. Seems ok but I can't really afford to upgrade 4 phones at the same time. So I either pay now to upgrade all phones for my discount or pay more each monthe and keep the phones we have.

I can confirm I was told the same thing - I would have to convert all 3 lines (and therefore all 3 phones) to a VZW plan in order to get the discount. Since I upgraded my phone the day before the switch so that I would be locked into my Alltel plan for two years, that just isn't going to happen. I am in NO hurry to be a VZW contractee. I have broken the news to my son and husband that if they want new phones, they're going to have to pay retail or buy them off eBay, LOL.
