Code for 1500 SMS for $8.99 for Premier members only - iPhone 3G

macgirl · 07-13-2008, 04:47 PM

so, i was really disappointed that at&t now makes you pay $5 per month for 200 text messages with the 3G iphone plans (and if you are too, i encourage you to submit feedback to them here: http://www.wireless.att.com/about/meet_email.jsp). but i learned of a code (from here) that will add 1500 text messages to PREMIER (discounts offered to businesses that contract with at&t) accounts for just $8.99 per month. i just called at&t and had them remove the $5 plan and add the $8.99 plan since it's a far better deal. if you have a premier account (with a FAN discount) with at&t, call them ask them to add message plan TMS4.

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!

no problem. i just hope some folks here can benefit from it. i had the 1500 SMS plan with my v1 iphone for $10, and i'm also bothered that they increased that with the 3G plans. but this plan code makes it all better!

How do you know if you have a premier account? I have the Lockheed Martin Fan# on my account (50% off phones and equipment, 25% off my rate plan)

From what I've read, simply having a FAN number on your account makes you a Premier member, so this code should work for you. I have heard of people needing to call more than once to get a CSR that is knowledgeable/reasonable enough to just add the code to your account without repeating "the iPhone 1500 SMS plan costs $15" ad infinitum.

Is this for stay at home moms too that are gadget nuts?

The code U200 gives you 200 extra minutes a month.

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

Yeah during my McDonalds orientation they said I could go to At&t for and get a discount their on a phone-not sure about plan- but I never called to see if that discount would be applicable toward the iPhone 3G I guess I'll ask to tomorrow. ..

There are absolutely no discounts on the iPhone 3G for customers, only Apple employees (and probably AT&T).

I work for Apple and the new iPhone hasn't even popped up on the Employee Purchase Plan yet! I was told it'd be about a month or so, they have to figure out a way to purchase it from the EPP online site and have it activated in store when it comes in.

BTW - Thanks very much MacGirl!! I'm in for 2!

I called the AT&T business care number, had them add on my FAN number, the lady who was helping me was really cool with everything, then she added the TMS4 on my line (I have two, the girlfriend has a CrackBerry), and she added the U200 on both lines!!!

I was so psyched! Haha, she even asked me, "Yea, so where did you get all of these codes from?", I just told her my boss gave them to me!

THANKS AGAIN!

Is there a code for the unlimited messaging plan? Also Overboost, the one line is a crackberry, is the other your iphone V1 ?
