I've had an XM radio in my wife's van, and a portable XM radio with poor reception for awhile. I pay something like $14.99 for the first radio, and get a discount on the 2nd one to about $10-11? or so per month.
A little over a week ago, I tried the XM satellite app, which gives you internet XM on your smartphone, tablet, computer, etc. I tried it for a week, and it was near-flawless, as long as I had cell service, which is practically everywhere, indoor or outdoors.
My portable radio? Not so much. I like to walk at a track that has some trees that cover it--the radio is near-useless there. Useless indoors. Just didn't like it, didn't use it.
So I call to drop my portable radio, and add internet. First I'm told that I can do it and link it to my account for $3.50 more per month, and dropping the $10 or $11/month I'm currently paying. Great, works better and cheaper.
Then I find out if I sign up for "all access" my monthly rate goes down slightly on my 1st radio, and the internet radio is.....free. Apparently I had something less than "all access" previously, although I had a ton of channels.
So now I'm paying something like $43 every 3 months, have all the channels on my car radio, and have the internet/app XM for free. I'm a happy camper.
