Business or School discounts
What is a FAN? FAN stands for Foundation Account Number. A FAN is when a company or school has an agreement with AT&T to provide a discount to that company's employees or that school's students. A typical FAN discount will be a % off per month on the bill, % off on the cost of a phone, and % off on accessories. To see if you qualify for a FAN discount, go to AT&T's Business Portal and enter your work or school email address. If you qualify, you'll get an email from AT&T with a link in it to attach the FAN to your account.
