SubscribeMilitary Cell Phone Discounts
Members of the military may receive substantial discounts on cellular/mobile telephone service from many of the major wireless carriers.

- AT&T Wireless offers a 19% discount on cell phone service to anyone with a .mil e-mail address. For more information, visit the AT&T Military Discount website.
- T-Mobile offers members of the military a 15% discount on cellular service. Members of the military may sign up for T-Mobile’s military discount by visiting the T-Mobile Corporate Discount website.
- Sprint Nextel offers military members a 15% discount on cell phone service. It may be obtained by visiting any Sprint store and telling them you qualify for BPA number W91RUS-06-A-0002.
- Verizon Wireless provides a 15% military discount on calling plans priced at $35 and above. You can request the discount on the Verizon military discount website.

My husband and I have had a contract with AT&T for a year now and we have never been offered a military discount. I would very surprised if they contact us. I will not renew another contract with them unless they can give us the 19% they advertise on the internet as well as through their company for the year we have had it. Thanks for nothing AT&T.

Good to know! I look forward to these…
And I just wanted to mention that you might want to change that picture. Driving with one cell phone has become frowned upon recently… I cringe to think of driving with two.

@ Patricia Vetre,
Dont fool yourself, none of them will ask you if you are in the military, you actually have to ask for this discount. As a pointer to you, no matter where you purchase services or merchandise, always ask if you qualify for military discount. Do not expect venders to ask you, you actually have to do some research here, but its not tough.

I for a fact know that I get a Discount with Tmobile. I was with them for 2 years before someone told me about it. You have to call in and ask them for the discount or you’ll never get it!

Are Military retirees eligible for a wireless discount??

AT&T did give us the discount as retirees. We had to provide the FAN number and sign up through the business site.

Nice photo of the service member driving while talking on one cell phone and holding another phone in his driving hand. Nice

Just a heads-up…
My family plan with T-Mobile had expired, and after looking at all of the PUBLISHED (military discount) rates, we found that moving to AT&T would save us money.
THEN… it took 3 months for them to actually charge us the military discounted rate that we signed for on the original contract.
After calling – every month – to find out where the disconnect was, they have finally (maybe?) implemented our military discount.
BUT… they do not apply the discount to various services on the wireless phone.
BOTTOM LINE – comparing T-Mobile’s rates to AT&T? T-Mobile appears to have a military rate for their wireless service. AT&T has a military rate for the ability to say you have AT&T. Once you actually pay for the wireless SERVICE, though, it costs more.
Wish we had been told that what they SAY they charge when you sign up is not what they actually charge.
