Is there a way to get a free or almost free receiver, and 3 months of free service? I have Sirius with a Starmate Receiver. I would like a similar receiver. I understand I should be able to use the same antenna..

Three months of free service with Sirius, are you being serious?!
Haven't heard of Sirius doing anything of the sort.

I think that's part of the reason Sirius doesn't have as many subscribers. That was why I went with XM. After the 3 month free trial I canceled though because I didn't like the programming.

xm is charging for these free activated + 3 months free plans....check mail for charges from $18 to $55...

i used xmscion03 last month, got a bill for $18 this month.

Side Two

DON'T call the number on the flyer, call 800-682-4114.

Thank you suezyque,

I just called XM and told them I had the flyer for 1 year subscription for 77 dlls. and free activation, he gave me both !! (flyer said "activation fee required, and no combined with other promotions), but I felt that could not hurt to ask; and it worked.


Thanks suezyque

First class FW advice.
Called and renewed... got it.
Thanks!

REMINDER!!!

The mail offer, 12 months for $77, that has been so talked about here is set to end on Tues., Jan.31st, 06.

It may not be allowed after Tuesday. Personally, I expect it will continue considering the recent competition of SIRIUS but I wouldn't take the chance myself. This is a good deal.

My 3 month sub was to end today on the 28th and I called (1-800-682-4114) yesterday to ask for the $77 plan and received it with no problems whatsoever. Just told them my plan was almost up for renewal, they pulled my account up and in minutes I was done.

Have your radio ID number handy.

I just used OEM001NNA over the phone since online it would not work. Thanks FW!

You sure that it's not the bill for the three months AFTER the free trial? Strange... OEM001NNA works fine even now.

Yep, i got a bil for the full 3 mos plus activation also...$59.60, after the CSR said 3 free mos + activation (xmscion03)

Not sure if there's any truth to it, but I've been hearing about XM subscribers calling to cancel and being given great "retention" offers (usually something along the lines of $3 a month for a year, free "upgraded" radio, etc.)...definitely a YMMV, but didn't see it posted yet.

Called up. Got to some type of retention place, told them I wanted to cancel because my radio was old. She didn't offer me a free one, wanted me to pay... I told her about all these 'free' deals I saw online, she told me they expired -- yeah whatever.

I think I was redirected to Pakistan or something, I couldn't even tell what 'Jessica' was saying.
