T-Mobile AAA Discount

T-Mobile is offering 14% discount to AAA members. If you are a AAA member, call the migrations department at 1-877-453-8824 and have your AAA member number handy. The only catch is it requires a new two year agreement. So, this works out well for new customers and for the people who recently upgraded the hansets.

Please note, this discount like any other discounts, does not apply to the Even More Plus plans.
