Probably not. Why? Because employee plans are no longer "special" plans that nobody else can get. Employees get the same phones and plans as anybody else, they just get a price break. The phones are cheaper, have shorter contract terms, and the plans are offered at a siginificant discount. Once no longer employed by VZW, those discounts on equipment/plans and reduced contract lengths dissappear. POOF. Gone, (You just got to love Peoplesoft).

No. There are no "employee plans". Employees have the same plans as everyone else. they just get a certain percentage off of the bill just like many other customers do that have employee discounts through their jobs.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Not quite true. They can get added as an added line, sharing minutes, on a plan that an employee has. They can then share in the discounted total. However, that totally depends on the person to trust you will pay your portion of the bill and that you won't bogart the minutes and kick everybody else's total up due to overages.

I will NEVER create or add a line to my acct for a "friend." I've seen it backfire too many times.

The plan he is talking about does exist it is for indirect agents. However I highly doubt you will be able to switch it into your name.

No they won't be able to; there is no doubt in that. During the AOL process the new acct won't get the codes necessary to accept and discount that plan.

Not to hijack this but I have nothing but hatred for Peoplesoft. God help every MBA that has drank the Peoplesoft Kool-Aid.

It depends on your perspective. Programs like MAX suck, but PeopleSoft has other products that work just fine. You need to have IT folks who can implement it properly and it will function just fine.
