Sirius/XM will start calling you shortly before your 3-month free subscription expires, to try to talk you into signing up for their standard package, at about $15/month as I recall (maybe higher now). We said no, we weren't interested, and they then offered a very similar package for about $9/month. We took that, for another 3 months, and will see what kind of deal we can get at the end of that period. You have to threaten to cancel, or you won't get their best rate. Also, be careful if you sign up for any package that automatically renews after the trial period is over, at a much higher rate (most of them are like that, I think). If you do that, you have to remember to call them before the trial period is up to renegotiate a new deal, or you will be automatically renewed at a price you probably won't like.
