Verizon is one of America’s premier wireless network providers and takes pride in giving back to communities by providing discounts for educators and those with special needs. Plans and discounts for teachers include student, military veteran, first responder and nurse discounts as well as home internet discounts through Verizon Connections for these educators; discounts may be found in certain mobile plans as well as Fios home internet plans; it is best to shop around before making your selection.

Teachers enrolled in public or private elementary or secondary schools who meet all other eligibility requirements can qualify for the Verizon Connections Teacher Discount, provided they present valid teaching certificates or other proof of employment. It’s possible for teachers to save up to $25 monthly when using four lines of unlimited cellular service and Fios home internet with Verizon; however, please keep in mind that only one teacher, student veteran, first responder discount per account can be applied; it may take two billing cycles before it appears on your bill after you’ve verified your status.
Spouses of teachers don’t qualify for the Verizon Teacher Discount; however, there is a workaround: place internet and cell phone bills under your name instead of that of your spouse and save. Once recertified as teachers each year.
