It's been 4 months and my XM trial subscription is still going...

I do $49 every 6 months for All Access. Not a penny more. It's not worth anymore than that to me.

I threaten to cancel each time (and I would) and they always honor it

 

I have had Sirius for over 10 years. Get a reduced rate every year. Outlaw Country best station ever !!

 

Paid for a year by check after my trial was up. Enjoyed it but I don’t drive my truck much so when the renewal came I canceled. Attempted is more like it. Every time I called I couldn’t get a live person so I finally gave up. They started sending letters and emails about going to bill me and turn me over to collections and I kept ignoring them. Satellite finally cut off. I think I know now what happened to Colombia House. They got into satellite radio.

 

When I bought my truck it came with 3 months free. They didn't end up turning off until 3 years later. So I guess it all depends on when ever they feel like getting to it.

 

Colombia house. I remember that scam. Fell for it too.

 

I had Sirius in my truck that I am trading in for a new Tacoma. Had a Pioneer radio that I installed in it. Took that radio out and installed it in my daughters VW Jetta. Sirius still works on that radio. Installed the Factory Ford radio back in the truck and Sirius works on that radio also. The Ford radio isn't even on my subscription anymore, but am getting all the channels.

 

Pretty sure mine truck came with a year of xm

 

I've been paying 30 dollars for 6 months for the past 4 years. Just recently Sirius has had had 60 dollars for 12 months so I did that on all our cars to save me the hassle of calling in before 6 months to "threaten to cancel" It's the same game with Comcast.

 

I also had it for 2 years free on my 2016. Just ran out.

 

I would say ride it out. I have two family members who legitimately cancelled their TV cable 20 years ago. They have letter from cable company confirming it's cancellation.

Looks like there was a mix up at the cable company and they were never shut off. 20 years later, they are still getting free cable....

 

I enjoy XM Radio. I do not hassle for discounts. I have 3 vehicles and all of them have XM radio. I pay $450 a year for just mostly music. When I was working everyone wanted a discount. XM is a business that provides what I want.

I seldom drive my truck. It only has 3,090 miles on it and I’ve had it more than 2 years. When I do drive it, I want to listen to Willie’s Roadhouse.

The only channel I have set in all 3 vehicles is Willie’s Roadhouse.

 

I pay around $30 for every 6 months, which requires a 5 minute "keep it at this rate or I'll cancel my subscription" negotiation every 6 months. I like satellite radio, but I won't spend too much more than this to keep it. I insist on being invoiced for the subscription and pay by check. This way I can avoid the auto renewal, often with unexpected and unacceptably high rate increases, that seems to come with paying by credit card. Hate that! Little more hassle for me, but I've got more time than money.

 

I won't pay for anything with an auto renewal that has introductory rates. Just lower the everyday rate and be done with it.

 

I SOLVED the problems with my XM Radio Reception!

After 13 months of working with SiriusXM tech support to improve the reception in my area (New England - some may have heard there are users up here)...I was able to completely solve my reception problems today....I will miss some of the programming and convenience, but getting my money back and not having to call them again is a much bigger benefit.

I canceled my service, I recommend you do the same if you were as foolish as me to sign up, and I recommend you recommend to others the service is terrible.

I am not one to "slam" organizations, their customer support and tech teams are trained well and if this was my only option the price point is just a little high...but since I can't actually listen to a whole song or talk report without dropouts and they can't/won't fix the issue (how about a satellite repeater??? they've been around for, well 50+ years).

Please join me in boycotting SiriusXM on Tacoma. Now if I can only figure out how to delete the icon from the screen and the mode switch sequence.
Thanks!

 

My ended exactly after 90 days of trail.
