How will discounts work with new plans?

[CharlieD]

I have a 20% discount based on where I work. I have a 700 minute family plan with two lines. Each line is a smartphone - mine is unlimited and my wife's is 2 GB.

Currently I get 20% off the 700 minutes plan. $50 plus 9.99 for the first line is $59.99 and 20% of that is $12. Plus I get 20% off my $30 data plan for another $6. No discount on the additional line and data plan.

How will the discounts work with the new plan structure? I have not seen it mentioned yet. Any ideas?

No word yet. My thinking is your device charge and the data bucket will be discounted. Other device charges won't. Apparently someone has talked to. A CSR who said everything will be discounted, but take that with a grain of salt.

Looks like only the data bucket (what VZW calls the monthly account access) will be discounted. The per device charge (what VZW calls the monthly line access) will not.

With my discount, I get a total of $18 off my current plan. What I would need should I switch to the new plans, would only get $14 off. And that plan before discount and taxes and fees would cost me $20 more than my current plan to begin with. Glad I just renewed a couple of months ago so I don't have to do anything for quite a while.
