Hello,

I recently read in an article, I can no longer find online, that in California the Public Utility Commission has ruled that a cell phone provider must offer a customer a rate that it provides another customer (even a corporate one with a negotiated discount)if the customer provides the provider with the cell account number. Does anyone know anything about this? I would like to get a better rate on my Iphone. I have a friend who works for Coca Cola and he gets 20% off of his cell service. I have called AT&T and of course they say they have heard nothing about this. But I just read it was mandated in an article on AOL but can no longer find the article.

Anyone know anything about this?

You may be talking about a discount from there employer. Like i know if you work for certain companies like walmart, subway, military, usps, and others dont remember what they are... You may be talking about those. Not quite sure though, but as far as california saying it has to all match i am not sure i do not live in california.

There is nothing that says AT&T or any other carrier must match a discount given due to a corporate discount.

Even if it is true they would just do what the insurance companys did when female teenagers were getting a better rate than male teens just raise every ones rate.
