SiriusXM Paying $28M Settlement for Unwanted Calls

If SiriusXM has been blowing up your phone after you told them to stop, you might be in line for some cash.

The satellite radio company is paying out $28 million to settle a lawsuit that's been going on since 2022. The whole thing boils down to this: SiriusXM kept calling people who were on the National Do Not Call Registry or who had specifically asked the company to leave them alone. And then they kept doing it.

The National Do Not Call Registry is a free service run by the Federal Trade Commission that lets people opt out of telemarketing calls. It's pretty straightforward. You sign up, companies are supposed to stop calling. SiriusXM apparently didn't get that memo—or chose to ignore it.

SiriusXM denied doing anything wrong, but agreed to the $28 million settlement anyway. That's how these things usually go.

Who Gets the Money

You might qualify if SiriusXM called you more than once between April 27, 2019, and October 31, 2025. There are two ways to be eligible.

First, if you weren't a SiriusXM subscriber and had already been on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days before they started calling you. Second, if you directly asked SiriusXM to put you on their internal do-not-call list and they called you anyway after that.

Either one of those situations applies? You've probably got a claim worth filing.

How to Actually File

Head to the SiriusXM settlement website and submit your claim before March 21. That's the deadline, and missing it means missing out.

If you have objections to how the settlement is being handled, those need to be filed by March 27. A final approval hearing is set for May 11, where the court may hear any objections that come in.

It's one of those situations where most people will read about it, think "oh yeah, that happened to me," and then forget to actually file. Don't be that person. If SiriusXM kept calling after you told them to stop, the settlement website is worth a look before March 21.
