so i dont know why but my car has xm radio that i dont pay a dime for! not complaining just curious!

can someone explain this to me!??

 

When the expire date arrived they will be no more free xm

 

new car trial period maybe?

 

someone is probably still paying for it and hasn't realized it. XM is not very solid on that kind of thing. I get the feeling from them that their computer systems and databases are poorly designed. for instance...I had 2 radios, turned off one and kept the other on and they keep sending me mailers and emails to come back to them...

 

they do a free week trial here and there. it will not be there for long.

 

Damn teaser thread. I thought I was stumbling on a way to not spend 14.95/month to get my XM going, lol

 

Here is a economic sense of advice
I have been getting a free subscription of XM for about 5 months now... You might wonder HOW?

Remember that not just guys like us in need of extra $$ in our pocket.
I am very business orientated when it comes to paying for all my utilities, including luxury.

So here are some tips.

You MUST subscribe with XM at least about 2 months... YOU must pay consistently for those period of time. Remember, most you'll shell out if $35. (I know that's a lot for a radio...)

But here is the kicker, you call within that period of time and ask to cancel!
At first, XM representative will transfer you over to their "canceling department" That's okay.

When you are finally with the person who just deals with the canceling service, they will ask you for a reason. Tell them honestly how you feel... IT'S TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE.

The offer/deal i've got was 6 months for $30 OR $50 for a whole year!!!!!!! that's not too bad.
BUT if you are consistent with the "canceling their service" just like us, we want to make money... so they will try their best to keep you in their best interest. THE BEST OFFER WILL BE GIVEN AT THEIR LAST STRAW!!!! BE PATIENT!

Finally they will say "How about we offer you a month of FREE!!!! subscription?" of course you say Thank you and press the thanks button for giving you the inside of best of best! "FREE"

And when the subscription is up, you just call again and be consistent until they say "free" again... you can do that until they no longer offer you "free" just don't mention free to them... because they won't give it to you in that case.

Hope it helps out and remember to be sympathetic with your "financial situations... even tho you LOVE their service "

Don't forget to press the thanks button! and keep us updated!!!

GOOD LUCK!

 

once in a while it will come back on. If your still getting the XM then just enjoy it. I really like it when the GPS is working telling you about the traffic on the freeway.

 

its weird. sometimes they just dont cut it off or something. i had it for awhile even after i cancelled. then i realized i cant live without it. right now i'm on a $77 a year plan. cheapest "real" deal i think out right now.

 

They have different plans, monthly pay, semi-annual pay, and annual pay. Sounds like either the PO forgot to stop paying, or maybe paid for a year and you have the subscription until the year is up. I don't think that XM is refundable.

It'll turn off eventually. When I bought my car, the PO let me keep the remaining four months of his subscription. I figured I'd just go back to my iPod after that. Wrong. My addiction now has me paying $16 a month for XM.

 

I've had my G for 2 years now and XM is still working

 

i actually have had xm since i got my g which is about 18 months now! idk what it could be! maybe a 2 yr subsription!?

 

i had for a year then it cut off and then i get it for a week or so every couple of months which i guess is done to try to make you subscribe again

 

I did the whole "cancel because it's too expensive" thing and it works just like that. Last I paid for XM was November 2011. 6 months for $25. They said after the promotional period it would be $14.95/ month again. They havent charged me anything yet. So the last 2 months have been free. Not sure how long that will last but you can always call and they will offer you 6 months for around $25 which isn't bad at all.

 

XM is so random yea even after your subscription ends sometimes they just start by taking away the premium channels
