My chat with Wesley. SiriusXM's "real human"

10:40 AM

SiriusXM:      Hi, I'm the Sirius XM Virtual Agent. I'm here for you!
                                        May I have your first and last name?

You:    Fred Cube

SiriusXM: Thanks, may I also have your phone number, including your area code?

You: 000-000-0000

SiriusXM: Thanks, again.  How can I help you?

You: When I try to use the mobile app, I am getting a message that says "We found your account, but your subscription does not include streaming"

SiriusXM: Okay, I can help you with that. Are you trying to log into your SiriusXM account? Or log into SiriusXM Streaming Radio so you can listen online?

You: log into streaming radio app to listen online from my iphone

SiriusXM: No problem. Follow this link to recover your SiriusXM Streaming Radio username and password.  Did that help?

You: No

SiriusXM: I'll try to do better in the future. Would you like me to connect you with a specialist who can help you right now?

You: Yes

10:40 AM You're now chatting with Wesley.

Wesley:  Hi, my name is Wesley. Thank you for contacting SiriusXM.  Fred, let me access your account and help you to access the app.

You: Hello - I am trying to listen using the app on my phone. I am getting a message that I don't have streaming with my subscription

Wesley:  In order to assist you with your request, I will need to access your account. For security reasons, can you please provide the  complete address, including zip code?

You: ___ Omaha NE ___

10:32 AM

Wesley:  That matches. Certain changes made on your account may result in us sending you an email confirming the changes.  Is fred.cube@email.com your current email address?

You: yes

Wesley:  Perfect. May I know you are trying to access the app with the username: fred.cube@email.com case-sensitive.

You: yes. i am able to login i am unable to listen since I get the message that my subscription does not include streaming (which I've used before).

Wesley:  I get that. Your radio is now under Select Lite plan and this will not allow you to access the online streaming services.

You: When did that change - because I used it this morning, yesterday, a few days ago and so on?  also - if I go to my contract agreement, it says that I have streaming.

Wesley:  I get your concern. Do to [sic] technical glitch you were able to access this app.  I have not heard from you in a while and your chat window shows you've been idle, are you still with me?

You: yes - I was wondering what was going on. Sorry.

Wesley:  Let me explain this for you.

You: Can you point me to what exactly the "Select Lite" offers.

Wesley:  There are 2 plans that is Select and Select lite.  The select lite have same channels what Select plan have however it will not have any online streaming option.

You: ok - what is the regular price for "Select Lite"? I don't see it on your site.

Wesley:  The regular cost for both the package cost $15.99/month + fees and taxes.

You: Select costs the same as select lite?

Wesley:  Yes you are correct.

You: then why did I get switched to select lite?

Wesley:  I see that your radio was under this same plan form Jul 29, 2019 after the free trial ended.

You: the select lite?

Wesley:  Yes you are correct.

10:50 AM

You: ok so I did not want to pay the $15.99 after the free trial so I was going to cancel. The person I talked to offered me this for $5/month (plus fees/tax). But you're telling me that the regular price is the same as select lite. so after my special price ($5) goes away (08/01/2020) I will be paying $15.99 for a service that has no streaming but costs the same as the one that has streaming?  Some people call me a stable genius.

Wesley:  I do understand your concern however now my hands are tight [sic] and can not help you with the Select promo offer that you have now.  If we make any changes then you will lose the promo offer.

You: no - I'm neither concerned nor asking for anything else. I am just trying to make sure I understand.

Wesley:  I get that.

You: I'm not angry or demanding anything. I was just confused because I was able to use streaming until just now. it is seriously (that's how you're supposed to spell serious) no problem. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong. I do have one other request though ...  If you get a chance, could you go down to the tech guys and ask them to reinstall that glitch. It would really be helpful for me. Thanks.

Wesley:  Sure. We have already got few customers with the same technical glitch and have updated to your team.  They are working on it.

You: Thanks Wesley - Although I think something is getting lost in translation. I'm going to go now.

Wesley:  Thank you for understanding.  Is there anything else that I can assist you with today?

Seems that the team needs to patch the technical glitch in Wesley’s logic circuit
