I'm really surprised that none of the dudley-do-rights on here have chimed in and told you that you're going to hell unless you call XM so you can set up a payment plan for all the free service you've been receiving.

As far as I'm concerned.......Congrats on your score!!!

iRichard360 · 09-13-2012, 01:45 PM

oh yeah, the sticks in the mud ha ha.

really though! maybe i paid for a lifetime or something when i signed the damn contract although i think its highly unlikely.

lets raise our glass for incompetence!

xm customer service is the worst and they charge you for every little thing. good on you for getting over on them

I've had free XM on my Saab since I bought it in new 2008. I decided it was better not to tell them. I put lifetime in the E after the trial period. Changed out the radio for a navi with XM last year, they didn't want to transfer the lifetime subscription to the new XM reciever, took me an hour on the phone and about 8 people to get to someone who would swap it over for me. They finally said the would only do it if the OEM unit wasn't working, so I told them it wasn't working (since it wouldn't with the new HU) and the agreed. Good product, terrible customer service, all out of India I guess.

XM customer service sucks. it took me forever to cancel my subscription. I could have gone straight to ******* mode, but I was courteous. They tried everything under the sun to get me to stay. What finally did it was telling them that I was moving to Hawaii, and that unless they've launched a new satellite in the last couple of days, they didn't have service over there.

No problems after that. HA!!!

update: so today, got in my car like i always do only to find out my XM service was gone. only preview channels were available. I called and the rep told me that they activated my trial in december 2010 for 24 months. so actually i got 1.5 extra years (bought car in june 2009) before 12-2010. they activated it for another 3 months but i probably wont re-up. i only listened to a few channels and my iphone does the same thing for free.

was a good run tho! sad face regardless tho
