Every major mobile phone provider offers corporate discounts for employees and students. These monthly discounts – usually 15% or more – are additional to your current bill, regardless of your plan or pricing. Many large law firms, as well as many large educational institutions, participate in these programs.
To receive the discount, submit your firm or school email address to your mobile phone company (linked below). The mobile phone company identifies you by the domain name in your email address. If you qualify, you will receive a link via email to activate your savings. It’s likely that you will qualify to immediately save 15%, 18% or even more from your monthly bill.

Does any cell company provide discounts to small businesses owners? I recently purchased a new phone from TMobile and wasn’t offered anything.
Most of these are for giant corporations that have negotiated benefits for their employees. I’m not sure there’s the same economic forces working for small business owners but let us know if you find any.
