SiriusXM SXM-11 satellite launched tonight by SpaceX

There never was 199 introductory offer. When serious satellite radio lifetime plan originated in 2004, it was 399. And very quickly rose to 599, and at the time that it ended, it was at $699. I know this as 100% fact as my sister has worked in advertising for sirius since 2001. In the mid-2000s, they did offer two promotions where you could get lifetime for $199 on the first promotion the second one they had upped it to $299. I myself paid $499 for my lifetime plan, which also included five free transfers from one radio to another. Which they eventually did away with and now charge a minimum $35 transfer fee. I really kicked myself for not jumping on board during the cheap promotion. As my sister constantly hounded me to purchase a lifetime subscription then. When I did finally decide to do it of course I couldn't get the cheaper deal. Just my luck

ya in BC it was 450.00 Cdn, and I still kick myself in the but for not getting it. I can believe the 199 in some markets in the US though

That 199 promotional offer was Canadian also. All the prices I quoted were also in Canadian.

Right there with you. I mostly listen to talk radio. Hardly listen to music. Music only plays when family or friends are in the car. I sure as heck am not paying for it.

Agreed, I no longer listen to music while driving. I prefer to listen to audio books I get from Libby and Hoopla. I've had Sirius trials everytime I've bought a new car and never found anything I was interested in paying for!

hmm I never saw that, mind you pricing was different in every provence. I had it from about a month after they started the serius service in 2005. so maybe in the BC market it wasn't offered. a internet search shows the initial offer in BC at 499.00 but I do remember seing a mid 400's offer. I didn't get it because it was tired to the radio's lifetime at that point not the persons. I wish I did because a lawsuit in the later 2000's changed it to the subscribers life time.
