XM called last night. I said we were going to let it lapse, just much money. So the next offer was $4.85 month for 6 months, + $5.50 royality fee = $34.60 for six months. I insisted on one payment & no storage of my numbers, so in six months, another call. Another deal.

hey everyone. It's that time of the year again for me...
So the new number to call is:
1 800 998 7900
the old one has been disconnected. This connected me to Omaha Nebraska
they offered me the same $77 dollar deal right away, after I said i wanted to cancel. But i was hoping for something better. Their other standard deal is the 5 months for $20 (+royalty fee), and that is what they offered. I wasn't in the mood to haggle a lot, so I went with that.
It comes out to $4 a month before fees where the other one is $6.41 a month
Also switched to invoice billing, so they can't just roll you on to a regular account when it expires. They charge for this, but had them credit me the amount for the invoice to cover it.
Took about 5 min total and that number hooked me up to someone instantly, no waiting.

I will need that in December.

Just received a $77 offer in the mail yesterday.
When my 90-day trial was almost over, they were calling me about subscribing, and I told them that I didn't think the quality was that great, so they "reset" my radio and said they would extend my trial another 60 days. Well, the next day my service was off, and I never bothered to call about it. I mostly listen to CDs anyway. So that's why I received the offer, because I'm not a subscriber right now.
Plus, I'm really not in the car that much, less than 90 minutes a day. And even in longer winter commutes I'm mainly listening to local traffic reports.

yeah I am not in the car that much at all on a day to day basis, but on long drives it is totally worth it. I have a 5 min commute to and from work each day. Nice and short. But when I go see my family it is 6 hours, and XM makes it nice. I'll switch it up and listen to comedy channels and other things that seem to make the time pass faster.

Hi boys, tried Twisterman 's Phone no. for the Ohama extenion,,, still ended up in India! but after I told them of the 3 times the computer cut me off and that there service wasn't worth it, she offered me the same 5mo/23.33$ deal. I was going to take this when she said something about my account being already back 47$ UNPAID! It seems they were trying to bill me 23.31$ a month on the OLD CONTRACT. the only thing that saved me from being juiced was the GM card I used July 21st 2009 to initially activate the radio had been cancelled and renewed to a different account no. 
HERE IS THE GOOD PART!
She waived ALL the back charges when I renewed for the WINBACK77 deal! Did I get 58 days of service for free? It looks like unintentionally did.
Twisterman's Phone no. prob does still get USA but I called after 8PM EST. Good luck, Phil
