I called the 1 800 # and got $77.00 a year. i've always had them bill me, and given them no way to automatically update me. which is the easiest way to negotiate a great price.

I like XM , And spend 2-3 hours a day in my SS mon-fri , And am always able to find new music and bands , Which is'nt gonna happen with my I touch, And unless i'm ready to dust somebody at a light , XM is on and cranked.

Sounds like XM is like comcast/dish/direct/phone companys etc. all running scams if you dont study the fine print your gonna get screwed!! Even if you think you understand they change the rules mid game. I told the lot to shove it! I have free tv, yea it sucks but PBS makes it bearable and a pay as you go phone NO more contracts!!! Life is a hassle anymore and dealing with these kind of people adds additional stress i dont need!!

 

XM has been a nightmare for me in the past, and they still suck now! Good product, but customer service is terrible! DO NOT give them any account numbers so they can't charge you

 

I renrewed after the 90 days, and would have done so again.Except that I received a note that they were going to charge a "Royalty Fee"Now we all know that they have to pay to play the songs, but to come out and say that I have to pay that fee (which to me is the cost of them doing business), well let's just say that I told them to shove it. If they had said that they were increasing prices due to rising cost, that would have been different. Some genius marketing Guru definitly had a brain crash on that one. I've been in marketing for 25 years, and that was the damndest thing I'd ever seen. Anyway, they ofered my all kinds of deals while I had them on the phone, but my mind was made up. Not long afterwards, I upgraded to an Eclipse HU,bought an I-pod, and I've never been happier. I found out how to up load my cds to my I-tunes account, and I've got around 4,000 tunes to choose from.
