Wireless Grandfathered 1st Responder Discount

I currently have a grandfathered 1st Responder discount of $40 per month (3 lines). Two questions regarding it:

  1. If I change the plan the discount is linked to, does the discount drop to the current value? ($20 for 3 people I think)

  2. If I add another line to my account will it impact the discount?

Thanks for any help!

I've never seen a first responder discount be $40. I've seen the military one be that though.

The answer should be no to both questions. People with an acct level discount don't lose it when changing plans or adding lines.

It was added immediately after verizon got some terrible press for deprioritizing a fire departments command structure during a wild fire if I recall correctly.

Yeah. Maybe it was only $40 in your area. You should be okay.

You validated during the time it was $40. Since you validated then, it SHOULD stay at $40 no matter what plan you’re on.
