Who's your target audience for this... misinformation? > charged $120 for something that I had just opened out of the box

It does not work out of the box, you need to install an app, add a payment method, and sign up for a plan, free trial or not.

>you don't have to pay to keep the service or the satellite alive

Not sure what you mean by keeping a satellite alive, but you do need to pay for the service. There is no "Free" or "Pay as You Go" plan. Also, the Standby Mode $10/mo, not $5.

As for it being "extremely confusing", that's highly subjective so I won't comment, but it's definitely standard UI and I think it took me less than 8 clicks to first downgrade then cancel my plan.

I think he signed up with a referral link promising a month's service for free. But that kicks in in the second month.
