Cell Phone Discounts
Hey everyone i was wondering where to find out what cell phone companies offer what percentage of discounts. Does anybody know where to check to see the discounts? I am currently with Compass and i imagine that we do not get any recognition for discounts with t-mobile, At&T, or god help me Sprint. I assume NWA has a discount but my employee badge really doesn't mention anything tying Compass and NWA together.
Thanks,
Kevin

I get a 25% discount on my sprint plan because of Eagle and AMR. Not a bad deal. I pay about $50 a month for a phone plan and internet. 900mins. No discount on the phone but, they did have a special $150 rebate. Phone was $300. Its a Moto Q.

Thanks I had that same discount when i flew with Eagle. I left sprint because there customer service was so bad. They would charge me for phone calls made that where impossible to make... i.e. i was flying the plane when the calls where charged to my acct. There was no reasoning with sprint's customer dis-satisfaction non-help line. I was hoping someone could tell me about locations to look up each airline discount.. specifically NWA, Compass or perhaps pinnacle and Mesaba

I splurged and bought an iPhone the other day and asked them if they had a Comair discount, and the sales rep said... "Nope.... but by any chance are you an ALPA airline pilot?" I said, yep! So she looked it up in the computer and applied the 18% right on the spot. I had no idea ALPA had such a discount, it's the highest percentage cell discount I have ever had.... Thanks ALPA!!

Thanks for the info. I was hoping someone might be able to help me with a T-Mobile discount. They seem to be the only one that carry's the DASH phone. I have a few friends that carry that phone and seem to really like it. Very interesting about the ALPA discount... I stopped in the store and NWA only gets 10 percent who would've known
