Search. I posted about it somewhere. It's not too much money anymore though. The discount only applies to the shared data cost I believe.
I searched about this and can't find anything.. can anyone direct me?
Do I need to actually be in a college...?

Nearly every call within NY when I am on a highway gets dropped. But I have agree they are the better of the cheap plans.

I've been with Verizon for over 10 years now.  I don't recall every having a single billing issue in all the years. 

I had to go to Verizon with a pay stub to get the discount added to my data plan. Having an email address with my employer wasn't enough!  I get discounts on both my data plan and family calling plan.  They also recently emailed me on my work email to verify that I am still working at the company!

Anyone know if it's possible to open a VZW account without a credit pull?

I think so but you'll have to put down a deposit.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Is that worth it, or do the utility pulls get categorized differently when issuers consider me for credit?

Sprint data speed in my area dropped almost dead the last couple of weeks,

I called/emailed them to let me get out of contract without having to pay the ETF, but that was a no go,

I emailed that Dan Hesse guy from sprint, but that too wasn't productive,

So I filed a complaint with the FCC on Monday, does anybody have any experience with how long it takes them to intervene, or come back with an answer?

these policy chances shouldn’t effect you too much if you’re located in a rural Ohio.

Is Cleveland considered rural Ohio? :-)

Sprint LTE in NYC is super fast since they fixed it 4-5 weeks ago, and it's unlimited too.

Did you specifically ask? Sometimes on the phone they can offer you more then what a store rep can offer you.
