    I was mailed 3 different offers. When I tried to select an offer, they said it didn't apply to my vehicle. So, why did I receive the offer? I've never had Sirius. I've never received offers from Sirius. I started receiving offers once I purchased a vehicle last month. So, it makes no sense that the offer isn't valid. The offer was for $3 a month for 3 years. The best they can offer is $4 a month for 1 year. I hate lack of integrity.

    Expensive service for little value. Starts with introductory offers like $5.99 a month and then goes to $25.99 a month. They'll send you offers like $15.99, $9.99, $6.99 a month until you fold. This is a predatory practice and clearly shows they have no standards and will take every penny they can from you. Good luck trying to cancel.

      I just purchased a vehicle about a month ago and I get a 3-month free trial. They notified me almost a month after I purchased the vehicle, so a month is already gone which makes it a 2-month free trial. I have a SiriusXM app on my car stereo but have to put the app on my phone. I do not use my phone much, so I do not pay for a bunch of gigs. I do not see the correlation to buying a vehicle to put an app on my phone when there is an app on my car stereo.

      My review is solely about their channels devoted to Classical Music. First, there are dozens of channels indistinguishable from each other. Broadcast is just one. The website has a couple more channels. Why so few? Music choices are, in a word, lousy. I don’t want to be educated to appreciate raucous noise, miscellaneous notes, and un-melodic rubbish pretending to be “ modern classical” (an oxymoron). Then we get “Living American” with so-called snobbish and pretentious people whom we are told are composers. The sole bright spot is the very knowledgeable Martin Goldsmith - a gentleman of the Old School.

      In April 2024 I opted for a free trial for Sirius radio, decided I did not care for and canceled after a couple of months. I still received the service for about another 9 weeks although repeatedly asking to cancel. I could not reset my favourite local channels because of this. I talked to customer serv. and to customer serv. supervisor on issue. I could not erase sirius presets from my screen (2024 Toyota rav 4) who still could not solve issue. They said they could not help so they gave me tech. service who could not help.

      Their suggestions were pay a radio tech. specialist to fix or go to toyota dealer to help. Dealers do not work for free. They pretty much said it's my problem. In other words I cannot pre set my own stations or I can pay for sirius service forever. Nice choices. I would not recommend this radio service to anyone. Oh any they also its toyotas problem because they manufactured the vehicle and installed satellite hardware. Very unhappy customer, Jim. Parker Colorado

      I received a reduced rate a month ago because I contacted chat for high rates. The information I received said this rate ($5.99) was for 12 months. This month, I received a noticed that the rate was raised ($17.99) and I was informed it was a promotional rate. I asked for a live person vs AI. I tried for 30 minutes to get my subscription canceled. In that time, I was given 3 different opportunities for a reduced rate and they were each a different amount. $9.99 per month for each vehicle (I have 2). 1 is already $5.99/month. Then I was offered to keep the promotional rate. I said NO. Then I was offered $9.99 again for upgraded plan. Then I was offered $6.99 for the same $5.99 plan I'm paying on 1 vehicle. Then I was offered $5.99 for each vehicle. Ridiculous and I no longer will deal with them. Sirius canceled forever!

      They got me in with a low rate and were supposed to send me a Bluetooth speaker which they never sent. The rates went way up at the end of the term but that’s not why I canceled service. The programming sucked, they basically replaced commercials with talk, and most of the hosts talk between every song. I travel a lot and like music so when listening to 80s on the 8 and Rick Springfield he plays one song and talks enough between each song to play another 2 or 3. At least with the free stations they typically play 3 or 4 songs before the commercials.

      I have been a customer for many years and really like the service but the customer service is very bad. They have been billing me for an automobile which was replaced in 2020 and junked in 2021. I thought I had switched the service to my new car but they were charging me on one credit card for the auto and another and on the other card for the new car as well. I was slow to notice this and called in spring of this year to change it but it continued and they claim it has been fixed. We'll see.

      I recently attempted to subscribe to SiriusXM before my trial period expired. After receiving three different offers in the mail I thought I would go with the first, three month for $2. Then $11.99 after that promotion ended (all music plan). First I chatted with Harmony the AI assistant. Did get anywhere with her, after numerous request to speak to a agent I was finally passed on my first agent. She started to pass me on to subscription department when we were disconnected. I called back to be connected with another agent. After talking to two different agents and AI, two completely different priced plans and a hour and half later I conveniently declined the offer of $35 a month, almost tripe of my original offer. I would suggest anyone signing up after a trial to be very careful of what plans they offer compared to what they want to sign you up for.

      Customer Service made promises that weren't kept. I had spoken with them a month before my account was going to "revert to full price". After spending almost 2 hours on the phone (ugh) they told me to call back today (before the account flipped) and that they had put on the account a note to give me $8/mth for two vehicles. In calling today, I got hit with the account already flipped to full price, I was stuck with one month of that (apparently the date I was given was two days AFTER the flip, not before) and they had no record of the deal offered to me and the "only" deal they had was $7/mth for one vehicle.

      It took almost 15 minutes to get out of the AI hell that precede speaking with anyone as it was on a loop and could not be interrupted while going on and on about how wonderful XM was. even then it tried to talk me out of speaking with anyone. Once I did get someone, nothing they could to as there were no notes or attachments to my account.

      So then the next LONG hassle trying to cancel the account. OMG that was time wasted that I'll never get back. I'm generally a pretty calm person on customer service calls because rarely is it the fault of the person on the phone. But it was hard to contain it as the clock kept ticking and we were going nowhere. The AI up front didn't help matters as it was like talking to a brick wall.

      I have multiple accounts with SiriusXM from purchasing 2 new cars. I called to have accounts consolidated. After 2 hours on the phone with their Foreign account representative (** I believe) the issue was not resolved nor progressed any further than when I called. I finally had enough. I decided to cancel all services, remove my account and asked the representative to remove me from any and all mailing lists. At this point the representative bad mouthed me, asked me if I believed in Allah then hung up. Would I ever recommend this service to anyone. A absolutely NOT!

      Their customer service is extremely poor at best, stations recycle every 3-4 hours and they are not worth their subscription price. This is one company that should be shut down by the Gov't and relinquished to the dustbin of history! Why pay these thieves when 99% of stations have an app and you can listen over your smartphone for free. Not to mention Spotify, Apple Music or Amazon Music. All are cheaper, have more songs and better quality. I'd highly recommend staying away from this company...

      I signed up for a SiriusXM promotional plan (about $5/month) and immediately ran into issues trying to actually use the service. First problem: they do not provide your full account number. The confirmation email only shows the last four digits. When I contacted support, no one could give me the full account number or a clear way to verify and access my account. Second problem: I cannot log in to the app. Their system finds my account when I enter my name and email, but it turns into a loop: Enter info. Account is found. Click “Listen Now”. Get redirected to a page trying to sell me a subscription I already have. See the attached pictures to get an idea of what this looks like on the app.

      So I’m paying for a service I literally cannot access. I canceled out of frustration and then re-subscribed, thinking it might fix the issue. It didn’t. Same exact problem. Customer support was able to locate my account, but not actually fix anything. No one could restore access, and no one could explain why this is happening. At this point, the biggest issue isn’t the price or the content, it’s that basic account access and management doesn’t work. That should be the bare minimum for any subscription service. Very disappointing experience.

Last time I renewed I was told I was given an offer that locked me in for life at 9.99/month plus tax. That went good for about a 1.5 years and then they decided to raise my rate. I called and asked what the deal was and they said their rates increased so the increased mine. I told them I was told I was locked in at 9.99 for life and they guy pretty much told me that's too bad, This is the new rate. They don't honor their word. It has gotten to the point that the music that they do play repeats in about 2 hours and you hear the same songs multiple times per a normal work day. It has consistently went downhill over the years. Save your money or spend it on spotify premium or Amazon music. I don't recommend Sirius to anyone.
