										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two chat sessions with Verizon’s customer service folks didn’t give a clear picture of the actual costs of the new Family SharePlan when a corporate discount was applied. </p>
<p>Currently, I pay around $153 a month and have a 15% discount applied.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="blog/wpcontent/uploads/2012/07/image.png" width="328" height="266" /></p>
<p>The first chat session with Deborah suggested that the discount I was currently receiving (15%) would apply to the entire plan.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="blog/wpcontent/uploads/2012/07/image1.png" width="684" height="536" /></p>
<p>I really appreciated the pushy “buy some accessories” at the end of the chat. I hadn’t thought to buy accessories!</p>
<p>The second chat session I had suggested however that the discount would only apply to the data plan (I’d had some doubts about the reliability of the first answer due to some forum posts):</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="blog/wpcontent/uploads/2012/07/image2.png" width="683" height="521" /></p>
<p>Daphne actually stopped chatting with me – apparently I wasn’t important enough, or she was just trying to gather what accessories I should buy ….</p>
<p>So, here’s how I actually determined the real cost:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="blog/wpcontent/uploads/2012/07/image3.png" width="678" height="387" /></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="blog/wpcontent/uploads/2012/07/image4.png" width="590" height="127" /></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="blog/wpcontent/uploads/2012/07/image5.png" width="640" height="289" /></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="blog/wpcontent/uploads/2012/07/image6.png" width="502" height="259" /></p>
<p>Click the “Calculate” button. </p>
<p><img loading="lazy" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="blog/wpcontent/uploads/2012/07/image7.png" width="357" height="107" /></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="blog/wpcontent/uploads/2012/07/image8.png" width="399" height="66" /></p>
<p>The new cost was higher than what we currently pay.</p>
<p>And to be very clear, the discounts typically only apply to the data portion, but you should check using the technique above to be certain before making a switch.</p>
