i cancel SIRIUS radio. now they call me twice a day.

[vash]

mildly entertaining.

i've participated in 2 online surveys about why i bailed. main reason..cost went way up for me. i think i paid $112 for the year when i first joined..now my wife said i got a notification that my CC was charged closer to $180. no, "do you want to re-new?" just BAM, a hit to my credit card.

i've listened to a few messages. i think they recently offered $99 for the year. really fun. latest email was 6 months for $59.

think they will go any lower?

[VINMAN]

I should cancel mine. See how low I can get em down to.

hey $59 for 6 months, is a way better deal than $99 for a year. How can you pas that up!!

[pwd72s]

Had one hell of a time getting rid of them when I decided to let the free 6 months that came with the Mustang expire. A registered letter finally did the trick.

Their demand to automatically renew by billing my card really turned me off.

I simply don't spend enough hours in the car to make the fees worth it to me.

Just plug in my Ipod, set it to shuffle play & go. Zero annoying deejay chatter, and with nearly 2,000 songs, I'm happy.

Did Sirius mention the "artists fee"? I almost bought more, until I heard that "of course, this doesn't include the $40 artists fee."

[IROC]

Strangely, my wife's car has Sirius and we don't even pay for it. We bought a used BMW a year ago, turned on the radio and had XM. It's still there. I'm waiting for them to turn it off one of these days...

I'm glad I never gave them a card number. Guys on Mustang boards have posted it's damned difficult to get rid of them once they get your card number.

Oh...I thought XM and Sirius merged???

I think my last "Come back" offer was $25 for six months.

[rouxroux]

With my Ipod and Pandora, I have no need for XM/Sirius anymore. Still getting the "Please come back" offers.

[GH85Carrera]

I have a DVD with all 150 of the CDs I own ripped to it in both of my cars. I push random and let it play. I have edited out all the crappy songs. At work I listen to Pandora all day for 36 bucks a year. No commercials ever. No DJs ever.

My wife received the same letter last week. I tossed it in the trash because at the end of 6 months, they will not take "NO" for an answer. My last contract with them was for two accounts and like an idiot, I took them up on their discounted offer to stay with them for six more months and after getting really F'n ugly with them, they cut the service on one of the accounts but forgot about the other account. I sold the car almost a year later along with the Sirius service. Their tactics will eventually turn-off enough customers and they'll go out of business.

Load a thumb drive with music and enough your tunes without the hassle.

I saw an offer last week up here for XM that had 3 options.
1 $45 (approx.) for 3 months.
2 $115 for a year.
3 $550 for as long as I own the vehicle. XM is built into my radio.
I plan on keeping my truck for a while so the option 3 could work.

whoa. this is good info. i think i am done.

[bell]

I was with sirius for nearly 10 years......they ve been trying to get me back.........my radio is now on for free for 2 weeks.....to bad I don't know where it is lol

[gr8fl4porsche]

Just received an email from the CEO yesterday announcing a price increase.

[willtel]

I've been with XM a long time and I have never had an issue cancelling or transferring a subscription.

I pay for service in my wife's car and I have it in my daily driver but I don't pay for that one, I bought the car a year ago and it still works on the old owner's account.

The ipod arguments are invalid. There is no way in hell you can have as much varied content as XM\Sirius has access to. A good example was last Saturday at my house, my father and brother-in-law came over and I wanted to play some music we could all enjoy and we are each from different generations. I used to computer to listen to the 60's on 6 station and we were entertained all day while we worked. In comparison my ipod has a much narrower selection of music that I like but may not appeal to others. With XM I didn't have to deal with skipping tracks and my father rolling his eyes because another Deftones song comes on.

[ramonesfreak]

when i cancelled, the called me weekly for about a year. i had to block their number. eventually they stopped calling. i recently felt like signing up again and called them and asked if they had any promotional deals going on and they said no discount! i hung up. i hated the music stations and only had it for Stern but im no longer willing to pay the fee for only 3 days of new Stern show a week

their website is one of the more confusing sites ever. good luck trying to figure out details by reading the site

i think you are wrong. I have at least 75,000 songs of all genres that i love. imagine how much music college kids have these days, living in dorms and trading their hard drive contents.

the only value i ever got out of sirius was howard stern and a few other talk radio programs. never the music, which i found to be the same song played twice an hour all day every day. completely dreadful programming almost as bad as FM radio
