Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Retiree discounts question.

So I know the wireless discount goes from 50% to 30%. Do you still get the multi phone discount? Currently looking at my bill (active Management employee), I see the 50% discount AND a 20% discount for having more than 4 phones.

Considering Retiring in 2020 due to the health care benefit they're going to take away for Medicare Gap coverage and looking at my expenses.

Thanks!

So need clarification on the HRA - how much money does it actually equate to? And if I retire in 2020 are you saying they will take it away from everyone in 2023? Where is documentation on that? I was under the impression that what you retire with is what you retire with? probably naïve but . . .

Switched from att plan and my cell works in my basement office. It never worked with att. Att feeds their customers so much bs while charging them out of the you know what.

Also consider coverage. I have always had ATT and loved them subscribed to the old adage you get what you pay for. We may not be the cheapest but we are the best....well NOT ANYMORE. I have terrible coverage in my home have entered multiple tickets that all come back as resolved issue with tower that was resolved no no it was not same issue no or slow data at home. A new tower was erected less than 1/4 mile from my home but apparently not ATT tower. Checked several coverage maps and T Mobile has excellent coverage here and 99.9% of neighbors show to be T Mobile subscribers. So cost is not always the most important factor service and quality issues is way up there also. Not the same company anymore they care very little about cellular or landline service remember they are transforming into ENTERTAINMENT company...hah good luck with that. Focus on your customer first regardless of the product and you will he successful.

As was said shop around for a better deal and don’t forget to take into account at&t extra fees, they add up.
Also everyone likes unlimited but do you look at your real usage and block parasitic apps from using cellular data in the background.

Sounds like we may have some t mobile trolls on this site hoping to sell their service. ATT has great unlimited plans.

Do your research. Currently that HRA that's goes away if you retire after 1-1-2021 goes away in 2023 for every one. I suspect event though I am eligible, by the time I get to Medicare it may be gone anyway. Thank god for no cost Advantage plans for being healthy.

Our employee deals aren't all that great even with the full employee discount. You really need to shop around and find the best deals.

Unfortunately, this company's leadership has no loyalty to their current or former employees.

I'm not so sure the others are a better deal than AT&T when you consider (as mentioned) multi phones per account all with unlimited data and each can hot spot up to 14gig per month! With 4 phones and each person paying their share I come up with about $44 a piece per month on the Unlimited Plus Enhanced Multi line package after retiree discount excluding the $20 Multi line discount.

Are you sure there's no Multi line discount for that package isn't for all consumers?

Att mobile is a ripoff not T-Mobile I am sure that is what the previous meant. You can get better deals than your employee discount now. T tacks on so many fees it no where near their advertised price.

No multi phone discount. Just better off getting your service from somewhere else t mobile is a rip-off even wit the employee discount.
