T-Mobile to Do Away with Employer Rate Plan Discounts

Mar 29, 2014, 10:06 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Beginning April 1, T-Mobile will no longer offer monthly discounts to employees of certain companies. In the past, T-Mobile offered these discounts to help close large corporate sales. Given the changes T-Mobile has made to its service plans and device purchasing policies over the last year, T-Mobile feels the practice of offering employer discounts is now outdated. In its place, T-Mobile will offer those employees $25 toward the purchase of a new device. "This change is about simplifying wireless for everyone, including employees of small and large companies alike," said T-Mobile CEO John Legere in a statement. "It's simple, clear and transparent – like everything we do."

Full of it

T-Mobile is so full of it. I only stay with them because of my employer discount. If they get away it then I will get away with them. T-Mobile must think they are AT&T or Verizon....Please!

Actually they are worse than AT&T and Verizon. Those 2 companies still have discounts. Because they respect their customers.

Yeah, right...

What a load of crap.

Doubtful they have many corporate clients in the US right now, and even more doubtful they will get anymore with this change in policy. But, I'm sure I will get some nasty replies by the T-Mobile Fan Boi peanut gallery who thinks they can do no wrong...

While I dont criticize them for it...

..I think it is that they no longer could afford giving a monthly discount on the new plans.

brad162

No, they can afford it. It's just that they're trying to also finish rebuilding the rest of the network past 2G/EDGE/GPRS areas and that's going to take some serious cash.

I'm all for this change if they actually get rid of EDGE/GPRS areas, that's ...
