Discount Information

The employee discount is 17% off qualifying monthly service fees.

Faculty and staff can shop for new phones, devices and plans as well as migrate an existing AT&T account to take advantage of the discounts. There’s no activation fee to add the discount. If you are ordering new service or upgrading, standard activation fees apply unless there’s a promotional waiver at that time.

Order online for additional benefits, which may include discounted equipment prices, credits or waivers. Go to Premier, enter your zip code, click the continue button (at the bottom), and click Online Offers (top right corner). 

You can also purchase at a retail store. Bring your Northern Illinois ID and the FAN number, which is 2386864.
