How Much Does It Cost to Subscribe to Satellite Radio?
When subscribing to a satellite radio service, you will pay an activation fee as well as a fee per month or year.
As you can see below, the activation fees are almost identical for XM Radio and Sirius. And both providers give a discount for signing up online.
Subscription Fees:
There are different plans available from both systems, as you can see below. With the recent price increase by XM Radio, the basic month-to-month rate is $12.95 for both.
Another difference is the policy upon cancellation. XM Radio has no set contract and will refund a pro-rated portion of an annual plan. Sirius will charge $75 for a cancellation of the annual plans (not the Lifetime plan) and refund the unused portion of what you have paid.
Note that these are the current plans and costs and are subject to change without notice.
