Every year they try to make it where it’s a monthly payment of $25. Every year I message them and they offer the same $70 yearly deal for the best package they offer. I don’t get why they don’t just offer a yearly one in the first place after the first year for $100-$150? I assume many people just auto renew the monthly? 3 months and you’re paying for a full year with the monthly. If you pay for monthly, message em now

I did that price dance with them for years and always had to threaten to cancel. This past year they gave me the same rate 70 bucks for a year without even having to call them. maybe they are wising up.

As with cable, if they simply made it to where you didnt have to negotiate a deal every year more people would stay. If you think that fooling a few rather than keeping many is worth it, keep your dumb arse business model.

So happy with Eatel vs. Cox. I will never have to negotiate with Eatel.

They offer you as low as $5 per month if you actually cancel. You’ll get a promo in the mail.

I love it for Grateful Dead radio, bluegrass junction and sports radio (every sec and mlb game is broadcasted) when I’m on the road. Couple decent comedy channels too. There’s probably way more Im missing but for GD radio alone it’s worth it to me.

$8 is normal for the renegotiating with internet access thru the app, in my experience.

Less if you don’t have online afaik.

mine isn’t till April but I messaged them just now and they offered the same thing that I’ve done the last 3 years with em. I’ll have to try this $5 a month one to see if they’ll give it to me. Is that the platinum? With every channel they offer?

They're offering the low annual price (I think around $70) now at renewal. No calling them yearly. It renews each year at that annual price. You only call to cancel, period.

The last couple of years I’ve just chatted with them online and they drop it to 5 dollars before taxes which ends up being around $7 after.

Think it’s taken me less than 10 minutes to do it each time.

It won’t be platinum. I’ve tried. Maybe my text negotiations need improvement.

Mine is platinum. Last year I paid $78 after taxes and whoever I just chatted with sent me the same deal as last year but they wanted to start it now. Said no thanks I’ll message again end of March.

Good to know they have a yearly one now tho. I’ll have to ask that next time.

They'll do the annual platinum now, BF. I can't remember the exact price, but it's like $30.00 more per year. But you just lock in on your next renewal, pay the one time annual fee, and each year, it renews at that same amount.

You don't have to call each year and negotiate.



ETA: I just checked my account. The Advantage package is $71.81/year. With tax and royalty, you pay $87.26/year. And it renews at this price each year.

That's pretty much everything except Howard Stern. I canceled him. But the Platinum with him is maybe $30.00/year more, plus tax?

I had it on all 3 of my cars but called to cancel it after 18 years and just ended up paying for the streaming. Think it’s around $4 or $5 per month and now I just Bluetooth it on all three cars when I want to listen.
