Constant lies and misinformation

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I was told I could stream SiriusXM; it was false.
  • - I got varying answers when trying to use XM.
  • - The Platinum Service Plan was underwhelming.

Was told I could stream SiriusXM on home devices. Nothing but a lie.

Every time I attempted to try and use the XM I was told a different story. So much for the Platinum Service Plan.

Don't waste your money. In my opinion Sirius XM is nothing but a scam.

Pros:
  • Good music
Cons:
  • Scam

Preferred solution: As i was told I would like to be able to listen to Sirius XM on my Echo Dot

User's recommendation: Don't waste your money or believe anything they say.

Spa channel in my car

Please let me know how to get the Spa channel working on my car. It seems to have disappeared. Hopefully, Sirius will bring it back to my car radio.

Pros:
  • Minimal ads and generally a nice selection - need more news
Cons:
  • Car radio keeps deleting my presets whenever sirius does an update

Preferred solution: Restore the Spa channel.

User's recommendation: The Spa channel was a great way to destress in traffic and it seems to be gone.

It’s getting too expensive for me $24 a month. I went to delete my account with you.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - It was cheaper when I started.
  • - Now it costs $24 a month.
  • - I only use it when I'm in my car.
  • - I want a better rate or deactivate my account.

When I first started, it was a lot cheaper. Now it's $24 a month. I just use it when I'm in my car, which isn't a lot, so I would like a better rate, or if I can't get that, I would just deactivate my account.

Pros:
  • Especially the 70s
  • I like a lot of the music

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: Maybe
