Sirius XM out of the blue...

I got seriously sick of calling in every 6 months to get whatever the new deal was. Cancelled in both cars. It's the same BS the cable companies pull all the time, which is why I don't have cable either.

I had Sirius in my Sierra farm truck and they were charging me 16 dollars a month. The programming and reception was crap, so I canceled it. They told me that for 20 bucks they'd let me stay on for 6 months.

Their costs and fees are arbitrary and I always feel like I'm getting ripped off.
 
One month after I bought my new LE I started getting calls from some 800 number on my cell phone. Determined to stop the calls I answered and no one was there. Did a Google search found out it was Sirius. I was getting 5 calls a day. Called Sirius, told them to stop the calls. That obviously didn't work so after 3 days of them calling me 5 times a day, after I had spoken to 3 human beings, after I had more than explicitly explained how I wasn't even done with my 3 month trial the 4th human I spoke to finally understood when I told them where they could shove their satellite service. Amazingly enough the calls have stopped. I would most likely have worked a subscription deal but once I got my Amazon Cloud Player streaming via Bt I'll never look at their crappy service again. Working on cancelling my wife's subscription as well.

Moral of the story is to make sure you tell your dealer to NOT give Sirius your phone number.
 
We got a Sirius 6 month trial in my wife's Focus last May and started with the offers of $115/year but bargained them down to $5/month for a whole year just this week. We have had no reception issues at all and while the sound quality is so-so (better speakers will help) it beats the tired rock stations we have in the Denver area and on the stations I listen to I don't notice the commercials since they do still seem very far and inbetween. I primarily listen to the hard/classic/80s/90s rock stations and sports channels and it's definetly worth $60/year.
