Verizon Employee Discount: Who Qualifies and How to Get It
If you’ve ever walked around with a smartphone in your pocket you know just how expensive monthly cell phone plans can be. This is especially true if you’re a Verizon customer as they have a great service but it’s definitely on the expensive side. But did you know that many businesses and corporations partner with Verizon to offer you a Verizon employee discount? It’s a pretty darn generous discount too and ranges in the 15% – 25% range on voice and data plans. Here’s how it all works.
How Do I Know If My Employer Qualifies?
Often times your employer will let you know when hired if they participate in the Verizon employee discount program.
To get your discount, you simply visit this page, sign-in to your account and register for your monthly discount.
You’ll be asked annually to re-validate your discount which is a bit of hassle but totally worth it in terms of savings.

What Proof Do I Have to Show?
Verizon gives you two ways to validate your employment status.
You can either use your work email address or a current pay stub.
The email address is much easier, but in case you don’t have a work email you can use your pay stub.
