This has been discussed quite a bit here.

The new non-contract plans (EM+) do not include participation in corporate discount plans.

The new plans are dirty cheap as it is and the carrier needs to earn some return for the shareholders.

You can enlist in the plans given to Starbucks or you can sign up for the new plans for the public but you don't get both.

And if you go with EM+, you don't get subsidized phones. EM+ offers you the ability to pay retail and spread your payments over time but no more giving away the phones to get you to sign up for the rate plans.

The Even More Plus plans are not able to have corporate discounts on them, due to the price points. You can still receive the discount on the Even More plans with a contract, which will also get you a discount on the phone itself

even more plus does not come with corporate discounts because the plans itself are super cheap. if you have an existing plan with a corporate discount, you can switch over to the em+ without having to pay the $35 porting fee

Do the math and figure out which is better...Even More WITH discount or Even More Plus WITHOUT discount.

Then just go with what's cheaper for you.
