Money Saving Tips
Hey guys lets give out some money saving sites and phone tricks to our customer here to help them out a little like the wal-mart ring tone thing anyone got any others? đŗ
...
The walmart thing might not even save them money because they are so long, and at $0.03/kb that adds up... It is probably cheaper to buy the shorter ringtone and download the shorter clip. And DEFINITELY don't do the jamster thing.

Amen to that! Jamster is #1 with a bullet on my sh!t list right now (#2 are those .99 per SMS chat lines) due to their deceptive ads and sneaky fees--I'd love to shut them down or at least make them bill their victims on their own, because I hate having to explain to people that we aren't the ones charging them for all those stupid "free" ringtones and wallpapers... Grrr, Jamster... argh... đ

jamster sucks man, i was drawn to the cheap weekly plans, but everytime u downloaded something it would charge for another weekly package. so it was not true what they said. i was pissed off, im still waiting for my refund check...

how about everyone mention who you work for when you go to get a phone. SOOOO many companies get a discount and their employees don't even know. anyone work for McDonald's? 24% off!

Way to go Jinx! That is a good one! And Home Depot is 21%! How great is that?!
...
governement employees get %15 off too (WSCA).
But "YOUR NAME" has to be the primary name on the account. I don't care if it's your wife/husband of xxxx years, you should of ran your credit at the POS, and transfers of finacial repsonsibility forms are a pain.

The RWOF site states that you verify that it is a dependant or the account holder, I have always followed it that way.

how do they prove you work at these places?
either an ID card, or last paystub

Work Badge, current paystub, business card. A number of different things. đ

I know this is off topic but, as a CSR, RWOF blows in my opinion. Seeing it makes me appreciate our IWOF forms a lil more. The only drawback is that IWOF is two-sided and only is as effective as the orange rep processing the request. I'm blue, BTW đ

Its one of the migration tool used by the Blue Tiger Team. It was originally used for order that cannot be done in Siebel (ie bill copy requests, accessory only orders, etc). It was tweaked to include migration requests, but the first version sucked hard. The revision lets us switch between blue and orange so, in effect, its a somewhat quicker process. It could still be a lot better though. Oh yeah, it now lets use request migations for store reps so a (business) customer could migrate in the store and still get the equipment that day. I'm sure you remeber that whole debacle with business migrations đ

I work for Georgia Pacific. Should I be getting a discount, and if so, how much? Also, if I am, who should I see about this?

15%, and go to your local store with some sort of proof that you work there (id card, paystub, etc.)

No you don't get discounts! đ Just playin! đ

No, he does NOT call customer care. We cannot add the discount, he HAS TO go to a corp store to verify employment physically, then the agent'll add it thru POS.

monthly bill

I would almost bet my next paycheck that they say "No we don't do that at this store"..

if they say that then they're lazy. it literally takes about 30 seconds to fill out the RWOF.

for former At&t reps it's an old hat. but I know some cingular reps who are just learning about the process.
...
I appreciate all the great info. One last question. If I go in there and they say they can't find the info, where did you find the info that I get a 15% discount, so that I may direct them to that same info.

Damn I wish they could back date it retroactively over the past how many years Cingular has been in existance..which I believe was at the start of '99.. đŋ đŋ
...
even if they did it would only go back to the merger date. Cingular never offered anything like that before then.

Ok, I know this may get annoying everyone asking, but, do HEB employees get a discount? It may be under H.E. Butt Grocery Company. It's a privately owned grocery store chain across Texas.
