I can speak Russian in French!
So, my free one year subscription ran out, and since they have my credit card on-file, I just let them charge me $18.95/mo now for the service. I decided I didn't really need the service anymore, so I called to cancel. Got a really nice customer service agent, and told her that I would like to cancel. As usual, she went through her spiel to try to get me to keep it. I listened and then just said, "no, thank you." She asked why I was cancelling, and I just simply said I was trying to trim the budget. She came back and offered me 3 months of free service, credited back the 2 months I had already paid for, then set my price at $12.95/mo for one year, after my 3 months expire.
I thought this was really nice and very fair, so I kept the service. I can cancel at anytime too, as there is no contract.
If you're looking to keep your On Star, definitely give them a ring; looks like they're dealing.
XM also deals. I had let my subscription lapse, and they sent me a special for 6 months at just $20.
Guess the key with these services is to let them lapse or try to cancel them and they'll come back with more reasonable deals. This is just FYI for those who want to save a few dollars.
