Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / March 2006XM Radio
A friend says he has a Cingular 815 which has XM readio. I say BS. Anyone know of what he speaks? Do you mean the 8125? If it's a windows mobile device, you can use services like http://www.minixm.com/DS/ to stream xm radio on it. Most likely what he's talking about. >A friend says he has a Cingular 815 which has XM readio. I say BS.

It simply provides the handset the capability to use the internet wirelessly to access the program material. I don't think that type of cellular usage is free.

Howard's great and all, but not worth a subscription IMHO. I'm sure he's not going to miss me though as he laughs to the bank...<G> subdude > the OP didn't claim the guy with the phone said it was free. the > guy could very well pay for an unlimited data package. i've > been meaning to look into this for my PPC which has unlimited > data. Just got shoutcast streaming to my phone working, this is pretty cool. As long as it's a low bandwidth station (MP3 64K or under) it works perfectly over EDGE. Not sure how high I can go but 192K breaks up constantly. I'll have to play around. I tried this with Sirius - unfortunately the music selection window remains blank on my new 8125. Any ideas on what might be needed to get that? Thanks, Fred >> the OP didn't claim the guy with the phone said it was free. the >> guy could very well pay for an unlimited data package. i've [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >perfectly over EDGE.

I'm not familiar with using the Sirius online page, but you might try a different broweser such as NetFront or Opera. >I tried this with Sirius - unfortunately the music selection window > remains blank on my new 8125.

Thanks for the tip- I tried both of these and received error messages that the browser was the wrong version. Saw netforce as an early version of netscape and Opera as Mozilla - said neither were supported. This is just an FYI as I suspect that the browsers may not support streaming audio. It was a great tip though because I have been testing a few corp web sites and IE didn't render a portal we are using. Opera renders it perfectly so thanks! http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/articles/radio.mspx I use pocket xm radio http://www.ppc4all.com/appdetail.php?id=3343 > Thanks for the tip- I tried both of these and received error messages > that the browser was the wrong version.

If you are an XM subscriber, you can stream MOST of the XM channels to your PC (or other similiarly capable device) at no additional charge. Obviously this would require a reasonably high bandwidth channel and a hopefullly unlimited data connection if using a phone. >> Do you mean the 8125?

I believe xm streams their online channels using Windows Media Audio 9.1 64 kbps, 48 kHz, stereo 1-pass CBR for the high quality and Windows Media Audio 9.1 32 kbps, 22 kHz, stereo 1-pass CBR for low quality. My wife and daughter scoped it today. It's an 8125. 815...What an idiot. >A friend says he has a Cingular 815 which has XM readio. I say BS. Anyone >know of what he speaks? > > *** Free account sponsored by SecureIX.com *** > *** Encrypt your Internet usage with a free VPN account from > http://www.SecureIX.com *** Sure, with an unlimited data plan, you can stream all day for the single ($59.99?) monthly price. It doesn't actually receive XM radio, but XM streams through the internet if you have a subscription. So it's bucks for the data, and bucks for the subscription. Me, I'll take an RSS feed of PBS over XM. Personal choice. Cheaper. Doug Goncz Replikon Research Falls Church, VA 22044-0394 You can do it with the unlimited mmode plan for $19.99 as well. > Sure, with an unlimited data plan, you can stream all day for the > single ($59.99?) monthly price.

Hm. That sounds affordable. Would the 8125 do this for a large fraction of the day, and when will Cingular have service in the Washington, D.C. Metro tunnels? Doug >> You can do it with the unlimited mmode plan for $19.99 as well. >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >of the day, and when will Cingular have service in the Washington, D.C. >Metro tunnels? Note that "unlimited mmode" is only available to current "blue" (old ATTWS) subscribers. The comparable "orange" package is called "MEdia Net Unlimited".
