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

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: Maybe

Excellent product that works almost anywhere, with some of the worst customer service around.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Tried to add a discounted car and merge accounts per a mailed flyer.
  • - One week in, charges and refunds are unclear; support is unhelpful.

Attempted to add a car to our plan with a discounted rate - per the flyer they sent me in the US mail, and then consolidate both cars into one login. One week has passed, and the ineptitude continues.

While Sirius is now available on both our cars, the litany of charges and refunds that now show on our account page and credit card statements is incomprehensible. Their tech support can't read the simple instructions and data requests I send, and their constant response of "We're so sorry..." is infuriating.

Yeah, they're definitely sorry. I may have to initiate dispute resolution via our state's respective attorneys general if they can't pull their heads out.

Poor customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Unable to cancel for nearly a month due to language barriers.
  • - Spoke limited English.
  • - Account closed and refunded, but customer doubts it.

I have tried for almost a month to cancel the service, but no one speaks English. I ask for English and someone comes on speaking 2-3 words of English then starts speaking a foreign language that is not English.

Finally I spoke with a person that could speak a little bit of English and supposedly the account is closed and refunded.

I seriously doubt that it is done. Be careful with this company as they steal money from your bank account and refuse to refund it.

User's recommendation: Don't get
