Planning to get an AT&T mobile plan? A viral TikTok video shows that several consumers could have a 25 percent discount on their monthly phone bill.
However, there is a long list of eligibility that interested subscribers should meet before getting the said discount.
AT&T Phone Bill Discount
Viral TikTok content creator and lawyer Erika Kullberg posted another helpful hack video in which AT&T subscribers will be able to have a massive discount.
In the said TikTok video, it started when Kullberg asked the AT&T customer service representative that she would like to pay less for her monthly phone bill.
However, the AT&T employee replied that there is nothing she can do with Erika's request. Since she has read the terms and conditions of her mobile plan, Kullberg responded that she is certain that she can have a 25 percent discount.
Right after stating the said discount, the AT&T employee asked whether she is a nurse, physician, teacher, military and first responder to be qualified for the 25 percent discount. Kullberg replied that she does not qualify for any of the said options.
After several guesses, Kullberg disclosed that her father is a military veteran.
For this reason, the AT&T employee asked for proof that she is a daughter of a veteran. Once a proof has been sent, the representative will apply the 25 percent discount to his father's account and everyone on it.
Through this eligibility, she will be able to save $600 per year.
