Verizon discount for Vets January 29, 2016, 03:14:38 pm Yahoo Message Number: 158414Verizon announced a discount for Military Veterans, Retired Military, and those on Active Duty. I verified the story with Verizon service. Here is a link to the "Military Times" story. I know that Verizon is popular with many of us so I am posting the link an news. If the mods think this smells to much like spam please delete the post.

Re: Verizon discount for Vets Reply #2 – January 29, 2016, 05:55:12 pm Yahoo Message Number: 158417There is a discount with Verizon for vets - I have it on my account. I've had it long enough to not remember the details about what is needed to get the discount (probably a copy of the infamous DD214).Of course at my age, I don't remember a lot of details, haha.Robert "Barry" O'Neil - or Barry "O"06MB-Ruby Red
Re: Verizon discount for Vets Reply #3 – January 29, 2016, 07:03:18 pm Yahoo Message Number: 158418You are correct, Barry. A copy of the DD214 has to be submitted to get the discount. I'm not sure of the current process.Chris

You might want to redact the SSN on the DD 214.A heads-up though, it expires and has to be renewed every 2 years I believe.Pat2000 MB "Flo"
Re: Verizon discount for Vets Reply #5 – January 30, 2016, 11:34:32 am Yahoo Message Number: 158433Verizon sends a notice when the military discount needs to be renewed. At least that's what I experienced.Chris
Re: Verizon discount for Vets Reply #6 – February 02, 2016, 01:45:23 pm Yahoo Message Number: 158486They (VZW and ATT) offer discounts to many large employers, not just the military. I currently get at 24% discount from AT&T through my wife's employer.I have the same employer noted on my Verizon plan, but I only have data only devices on Verizon, so the Verizon discount doesn't do anything for me.-Dave '06 MB, Indianapolis
