SiriusXM Radio hits the Blackberry. For realz!
Feb 12, 2010 Apps, Technology
I’ve been an XM Radio subscriber since some time in 2004. My wife and I each have one in our car, I have one in the house and I have the online subscription as well. I thought it rocked when Sirius and XM merged and I was able to get radio margaritaville on the radio. I was a little sad when they released the SiriusXM app for the iPhone as I’m a solid blackberry user, but I don’t have to worry any more.
Forget about the XM app that comes with your phone. It requires an additional subscription (even if you already have XM online) and it doesn’t have all the channels. Instead, hit SiriusXM.com/Blackberry on your device (or even in a browser) to download their app. Don’t worry if you don’t have an account, there’s a free trial avaliable, though the service is pretty cheap with SiriusXM Plans starting around $4.99 a month for the first three months (you save up to $15 that way!) It’s nice to be able to set the radio on one station and leave it there the entire road trip, and now I have it where ever I go!
