My husband and I are retired from two businesses that would have allowed us to have a corporate discount. That is a considerable difference in the charge per month. Is there any way to get a comparable discount for monthly service now that we are retired??

    Very tech savvy and very thorough. If I need to further explain something or you have more questions to ask...

    Have they taken the discount off already?

    I need some more information to figure out what discounts you may be eligible for. Some things you can try:
    Talk text data discount
    Mobile to any mobile plan
    65+ plans

    To get the best discounts possible, call customer service and ask if you are eligible for any of these. Also as for them to "right size my rate plan." This will ensure you get the best possible rate.

    If verizon has not removed the discount, just don't tell them you are retired. The discount should stay unless someone prompts you to revalidate it.

    Depending on the company, they may make the discount eligible for employees that are retired. It could be worth while to have a verizon representative check to see if the discount is available for employee retires.

      We tried that already and, unfortunately, they would not make it available to retirees.

      How much do you use your phones? And what kind of phones and provider do you have?
