Save 25% on AT&T Wireless Bills As a Teacher, Doctor, or Nurse
In the early days of the pandemic, many companies put on shows offering special perks and discounts to “core workers” who couldn’t squat indoors and overeat Netflix when states issued orders for a housekeeper. Now that the state has reopened, communications giant AT&T is offering generous discounts – up to 25 percent – on its wireless plans to teachers, nurses and doctors.
Starting today, the company has added these groups to a list of key employees already eligible for Gratitude discounts, which includes first responders, military personnel and veterans. Discount applies to new and existing customers with AT&T Unlimited Starter, Extra and Elite plans . (Sorry prepaid customers, no discount for you.)
If you’re wondering if you might be eligible for a discount, here’s how AT&T defines eligibility for these new employee tiers:
Teachers : New and existing clients who are kindergartens through higher education teachers, professors, instructors and their families can take advantage of this thank you offer.
Nurses and Physicians : New and existing clients – nurses, doctors, paramedics and their families – can take advantage of this offer.
First aid workers – employees of emergency agencies, emergency medical services, fire departments, law enforcement agencies, “public safety contact points”, as well as veterans and active members of the military – are also eligible to participate. You can register as a new customer or register your existing account on the AT&T website. To receive the discount, you must provide proof of your eligible employment status within 14 days. For example, AT&T asks teachers to provide “[] not expired employee ID, pay slip for the last 30 days, letter of employment within the last 30 days, or government license / certificate.” You will also need to subscribe to paperless billing and auto pay. It may take three or three billing cycles to show the discount on your bill, but you will receive a catch-up loan to cover the time period during which you were eligible for the discount but paid the full rate.
