flash your stud id probably at them

or give them your stud email, and then when they sign you up there, move it to another email.

I will have to take back this post. I am quitting when my contract is up in September and switching to Verizon. Still no complaints with Sprint, other than the fact that I get no signal at my house. My GF has Verizon and gets full signal, hence the switch.

It's pretty funny to see Sprint beg though. I get several e-mails per week with offers to get me to renew my contract. Which I would gladly do if the shit worked at my house.

If I'm not mistaken, they technically don't offer student discounts. You can go to the website and click on employee discount and enter your .edu email and you'll get a message with a link in it. Click that link and order a phone/plan with the discount applied if you don't already have an account. For an existing account, I had to click the link and login to My Verizon and upgraded to a higher plan and selected the old one the next day with the discount.
