XM Radio 6 months for $5/mo.

[bigeye43]

Just got the 6 month deal. I had to call in today to cancel my 3 month free activation today anyways. She only offered me 3 months at first, but all I had to do was ask for 6 months at that rate, and she gave it to me! The wifey is happy now!

are there any other good online deals right now for an xm radio? just want something cheap, real cheap.

wish there were some sirius deals comin out for my upcoming renewal in June. My buddy got sent a sweet deal but it was a one time use code, and he of course used it :P

Agreed! I wonder why there is always codes/deals with XM but nothing for Sirius Canada or US? I actually love my Sirius which I don't have anymore because as well as I like it still not worth full price in my opinion.

Got the deal today too. Thanks OP

Got the deal also.. thanks.. I was holding out for a deal like this

XM is doing pretty much anything it can to hold on to subs right now.

$5 / mo is fair, they would probably increase subs 5X with better rates.

I agree with earlier posts though, sound quality is only so so and I have a factory installed unit in my Malibu. FM sounds much better.

Thanks for the code. Just renewed for 6 months at this rate!

Thanks OP! Thinking of reactivating but not sure since some posts refer to poor sound quality?

Anyone know when the code is valid till?

TIA

I had XM on a free trial a few years ago...was supposed to last 3 months and lasted about a year.

Was not about to pay $14.99/month at that time so I just let it drop. Now when I go to the XM site it says the radio hasn't been activated.

Online if I use the code given in this thread, it will give me $30 off for 3 months, but adds a $14.99 activation fee. So in the end I would get 3 months for $10/month.

So I called in, explained my story and the guy won't budge off $14.99.

Maybe I am expecting too much but I would have thought they might want a new paying customer, even though it is heavily discounted.

Thoughts....should I try via phone again?

Thoughts....should I try via phone again?

Absolutely try again. What's the reason that they won't give it to you? Are you not in their system anymore?
Good luck

I just tried too - said "My friend got an offer... I was wondering if I could get it too?..." DENIED! They told me to wait for an email or mailing addressed to me and then call back... I think I'll try again.

My 3 month free trial is ending this week. If I take advantage of this $4.99 monthly offer for 6 months is there an additional activation fee because I have been only on their free 3 month trial? Was everyone else charged an initial activation fee along with their monthly fee? if so how much?

[bigeye43]

No additional activation fee, as your radio and account have already been set up. My trial ended, I renewed for the 5 bux a month, and no additional fees. Also, I had a no activation fee trial.

Thanks, very much to the original poster el_gopo. I just renewed (after my 3 month trial ended) for 6 months for $4.99 per month . We are planning on driving to Toronto from Vancouver this summer and I am sure the XM will come in handy on the long drive!

Interestingly, I called the number up and the call center is located in the Philippines........

Be aware: XM Radio has recently downgraded the streaming bitrate to 32kpbs (dial-up quality) and it is now absolutely horrible. I won't even listen to it at the office anymore because is sounds so crappy.

whaat are you talking abouit the Internet XM? My XM in my car sounds fine?
