sinner: If you are a permanent employee, you can get a discount on prepaid mobile phones only. Not postpaid or data devices. Probably you would have to arrange the purchase through an internal purchaser or through a Telecom-owned store (I don't think independant dealers would process the discount).
munchkin: Subsidized as in $427 cost price for the Sanyo 6650 vs $299 retail.

Yes, but the original poster is talking about prepaid handsets. Postpaid and prepaid handsets work on different costings, so the discount for staff members for prepaid handsets is cheaper than buying it retail.
Postpaid is not available at a staff disount, so cost pricing for postpaid handsets doesn't matter.
FunKeh - if you are a Telecom employee, talk to your floor coordinator or the nearest Telecom-owned store, they will be able to advise the cost. If you are a contractor, you may not be eligible for the discount.
