I've had Sirius XM for about three years, but I'm selling my vehicle and will need to get it on my next vehicle. I don't really know how this process works since it's always just been linked to my vehicle. So I purchased my vehicle with Sirus enabled and the account has stayed the same since then. Therefore, I figured the easiest thing that I could do was just call the company and see how this works. I'm sure there's an easy transfer process, but I don't know it and I don't want to leave it to the dealer.
There are a lot of reasons people might end up on the phone with Sirius XM. They may have issues with their account, could have issues with billing, or might want to cancel their service. Sirius tends to trick people with introductory rates, which I've learned myself, so I imagine they get a lot of phone calls once the true prices kick in. Plus, there are tons of drivers who subscribe to the service so all of this would add up to a lot of daily phone calls. With that in mind, I guess the 5 minute wait I had wasn't bad, but no one likes to spend time on hold.
When I called Sirius, a voice assistant greeted me, saying, "Thanks for calling Sirius XM. Please tell me the phone number on your account including the area code. If you're a new customer and don't have an account, just say new customer. You can also say, I don't have it."
After typing in the number that is linked to my account, the voice assistant asked, "Are you calling regarding your upcoming or recent renewal?" I said no, and was told that my phone call would be transferred to the Sirius listening care center. I was also reminded that if I wanted to make changes to my account I could visit their website where there are plenty of options.
As I said, the wait wasn't terrible, but I was definitely on hold for over 5 minutes. It could've been the time of day I called too since it was late afternoon and people might be getting off work and calling. The agent who finally answered was pleasant and she talked me through the process of how I could transfer my account to a new vehicle. The process is a little confusing, but it's not complex and I have the information I need now.
