Cingular Hookup for Navy peeps

Freeschwag · 03-30-2006, 09:41 PM

OK it took 1,071 calls, 765 automated call center loops, and 534 call transfers. OMG the hassle but I finally found the trick...you wouldn't believe how many call centers and transfers I had to go through for this...<sigh>

19% off your Cingular cell service bill if you have an e-mail address that has any Navy component in it. I believe other military services can get the same deal, but I don't know for sure.

jezuz I coulda saved $500 in the last 5 years, fawk!

So now you wanna ask: How do ya do it? Call Cingular Business Services at 1-866-355-8923. Tell em you are Navy and would like to take advantage of the deals offered by Cingular.

They will ask for your ph# and your email address. They will send you a confirmation email with a web link that will ask for your last 4(ssn) and billing zip code. Submit that, and poof it will show up on your bill in a couple months AND retroactive from the day you submit it. Cha-ching, that's a nice hookup.

After that, if you want a new phone, check the deals at the National Business Ordering Unit, Oh look, I have thier # too. 1-888-444-4410

What I'm lookin to score on : 19% service discount, $25 off online order, and 39% equipment discount.

Gimme a new phone for cheap baby! All you peeps know I need one.

Here's the kind of stuff offered: See anything you like?

The military discount is for all branches, not just Navy. We started this discount years ago with AT&T Wireless, and it transferred over to Cingular. :thumbup

Yeah I heard about this offer last month. Did a simple online procedure and now get a discount. I had forgot that I had even done this until I was ready to pay my bill for this month and it was way cheaper! Had to think for a minute.....brain clicked.....oh yeah!! Got the discount!! Woohoo! And yes...it's for all branches b/c I am in the Marines.

speedextreme16 · 03-31-2006, 10:46 AM

I wonder if I can get the discount. I am former Marine, but currently work for the Navy, and I have a navy.mil email. I think I am going to have to give it a shot. :biglaugh

Redtatt24U · 03-31-2006, 11:45 AM

I'm pretty sure it'll work! :thumbup
