This is my first post so please don't kill me.

I didn't see this around throughout the site so I thought I post it. Credit goes to Rcommander from SD.

This is confirmed to work! T-Mobile has started discounts that NOW range from 10-15% on Universities; STUDENTS are also eligible. You can do this B&M, on the phone or with an online rep. It would be good if we started a wiki of all the schools that work/do not work.

Use this link for live chat. I got it done within 5 minutes.

Nice heads up. I am alumni, I wonder if they will verify at all?

Looks like my 10% discount is going out the door from the freelancers union for OSU discount.

University of Minnesota (10%) - anyone tried this one with alumni?

Edit to add: Just did it through chat and asked about University of Minnesota alumni discount - was told it's 15% and it was added to my account. No changes to plan, just changed billing cycle!
Thank you to whoever posted it!

I just tried doing this through online chat and was told that FlexPay accounts are not eligible for this or any other corporate discount. She did happily offer to switch my FlexPay to a post-paid account. Before she did that, however, I had her check to make sure my schools even qualified for the discount, which they don't (Middlebury College in Vermont and St. John's College in Maryland). I had her check two others schools for friends of mine that have T-Mobile and I found out that Georgetown University and the University of Maryland both have 15% discounts. Just FYI.

Do they verify the email address, like sending out a confirmation and then have you click on it?

The CSR I had wasn't wasn't very chipper either...

I was told the discount (University of Massachusetts - 15% - Thank You OP) would take 30-45 days to take effect - anyone else hear this?

Works for George Washington University, however for those on family plan - I was told the student would need to be the lead name on the plan for it to take affect.
