The girlfriend has a blackberry curve, and I've got the iPhone 3g (reason why I had to put the FAN back on my account.)

just thought i'd throw this out there so people can save some money (the 3G iphone 1500 SMS plan offered to the general public costs $15 per month). enjoy!

After the representative removed my old text plan and added this one, she mentioned to me that it may or may not actually take effect. She said to call back and have the other one added if this one didn't work.

Not really sure what she means...she could also not have a clue what she's talking about...

Any thoughts?

That's odd - I'm not sure why she would say that. But you can check your account online to make sure it was applied. After a day or two, I logged into my account and the $8.99 SMS plan showed up as a line item when I checked my rate plan and features. I'd suggest you check there first to see if it was applied before calling customer service and risk getting someone clueless who'll tell you that code won't work...

It stands for Foundation Account Number - it's just the number that AT&T assigns to each business who has a discount arrangement with them. If you've applied a discount to your plan, the name of your company and the FAN show up in the top right of the screen when you log into your account.

You can also get a discount if you go to College/University or if you work for a fortune 500 company. Just go here and fill it in http://www.att.com/wirelessdiscounts

School discounts vary from 5%-15%

Work discounts are usually 20% and up

Thanks for the link. I became a member through my work (they only would advertise Verizion discounts). Thanks again.
