Nokia extending Comes With Music subscriptions by 90 days
Now this is strange. As someone who signed up for Comes With Music on launch day last year, I’ve been waiting to find out what will happen when my subscription lapses. I just received an email from Nokia telling me… it’s been extended by three months.
“As a big thank you, we have some great news. We’re going to give you more. We are giving you another 90 days of musical freedom at no cost at all: your membership, due to end on 15/10/2009 will be extended until 13/01/2010.”
Which is pretty generous, but does raise the thought that Nokia hasn’t quite locked down the terms for its proposed renewal subscriptions for the service. Earlier this month, Nokia’s EVP of services Niklas Savander told Music Ally that “we have an agreement with labels on the subscription model, for a renewal on a monthly basis”.
Presumably it’ll kick in by mid-January… The full text of the email follows. We’re assuming all the UK customers who signed up at launch are getting this email – if you have or haven’t, post a comment to let us know.
Dear [username]
How time flies! It will soon be a full year since you signed up for our ground breaking Comes With Music service. We hope you have enjoyed the freedom of unlimited music downloads during your first year with us.
As a big thank you, we have some great news. We’re going to give you more. We are giving you another 90 days of musical freedom at no cost at all: your membership, due to end on 15/10/2009 will be extended until 13/01/2010.
You don’t need to do a thing (except carry on downloading and listening to even more of your favourite music). It’s our gift to you. We will also be in touch with some really cool new Comes With Music devices soon. So watch this space – and enjoy!
Thank you
The Comes With Music Team
