Interesting thread.

I ran into this "FAN discount" problem a year ago when I signed up for a BB on a 2GB data plan. The website showed one rate and the bill another, surprise, lower one. I let it pass.

Now I'm thinking of switching to an iPhone. When I go through the web site process it charges me for the phone (a lot of money but perfectly understandable, I'm only 1 year in) and a 2GB plan for iPhone LTE, which it claims is compatible and most like the one I have now. It shows my FAN discount as well. I didn't know if I'd continue to get the discount on my phone plan (450 minutes) and now that I see this thread I'm not even sure I'll continue to get my discount on the data plan.

I was about to pull the trigger on the upgrade but after seeing your posts I'll reassess my options with Verizon, with which I've never had a corporate discount issue. If I have to I'll just eat the AT&T ETF and consider myself lucky.

Good Luck.
