Satellite radio people, how does the subscription work?

Are you charged month to month? or a year contract or something? Or do they keep billing you until you cancel?

reason I ask is because I purchased XM early last summer and I can’t recall if I bought a year subscription or if it was a 6 month subscription (I want to say 6 month), then they also offered monthly billing which was more expensive. I’ve never received any kind of email or bill or charge on my CC since then (almost a year and a half later) nor has my service ever been interrupted.

Can I get back charged for their mistake? I don’t recall signing any kind of contract or anything legally binding, just gave my CC# for the package and that was that. I also don’t want to call and ask for obvious reasons

don’t ask me no more questions, and i’ll tell you no more lies…

i had it for 3 months when i got my Element new, it turned off and i haven’t dealt with them since so i have nothing to offer. XM still have Fungus? that’s the only thing i used to listen to.

Nah, the just took it off actually :tdown: they replaced it with ac/dc radio

Just go to My Account online and see whats up with the billing

Sirius XM just launched ala cart channel selection. I haven’t looked into it yet, but it sounds like a good option.

so why are you posting?

heh, tried logging in and it wont let me (atleast, as long as it’s the same id you use to listen online) says the account doesn’t exist or the password is wrong.

A friend had this happen with Sirius. The unit just never was shut off…

I think it’s still working now.

no shit… right on lol

got lucky I guess

my post was to suggest not to wake a sleeping giant and enjoy free XM

price looks decent. can you use older radios with the new service?

Yes

I would just say the hell with it and leave it alone. Ive heard of this happening alot. When I worked at BB and CC we would just call XM and activate our units in our own cars as demo units.

I have Sirius, and get billed annually. The beginning of December (I can’t remember the specific date) I get billed for 2 radios for the year. The total is like $250 or something…

FWIW, Sirius is way better than XM.

Untrue.

And it doesn’t matter anyway because they are the same company now.

maybe if you prefer the company of gentlemen :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, Sirius is way better. Howard/Bubba ftw.

Whoa why are you getting billed so much? Your second radio should cost half as much as the first.

$250 is about right.

Sirius is $142/yr for the first radio.
Just over $90/yr for the second.
Plus activation, if you just added a new radio. Usually a new line comes to around $100 for a year.

So, $250 is about right for 2 radios.

I have 2 accts on Sirius and I pay once a year.
