Mine is technically not a "business account" I also get a corporate discount because I work for the hartford and I was able to order the 8900 🙂

Thanks for the info. So you think since my wife just has one line and wants to change it to a family plan to add me. Do you think they would sell her the 8900 over the phone since she gets the university discount. Just wondering.
Thanks

the 8900 wasn't available for new activations prior to 2/11 (even for business customers i tried it) but as of tomorrow when its supposed to be officially released to everyone you should be able to do a new activation with any corporate discounts that come along, just make sure you're calling the tollfree# for new business activations, at my job I have a special Corporate Discount Website I can go to that has a special toll free# I'm to call for adding lines/new activations 🙂 Hope that helps 🙂

A business account and a business discount are different:

Business Discount is discount on your bill for people who have certain jobs (Government, teachers, even wal-mart employees)

A "Corporate Account" is a regular family/single lines, but under the business name/tax id

A Business Account is an account with more then 5 lines under the same plan using T-mobiles business plans or custome made plan.
