Yes AT&T is Onstar' Internet provider according to what We were told by GM.
The AT&T mobile device sounds interesting, anyone know if it could be configured to work in a house, would it require an OBD connection to work.AT&T
yes, onstar wifi is with ATT and if you have ATT service for cell phones you can add the onstar phone # as another device on your line and then use the onstar phone and wifi just like another device on your service.
One advantage to onstar wifi/phone is it's capability is very close to or the equal of the cell phone boosters you can get. It can run more output power than a regular cell phone if needed and has a better antenna.
So, as I mentioned in a previous post, we have been in places where others with ATT phones had absolutely no service but with onstar we had a strong signal and good wifi. But there are also places we've been where there is NO ATT service (or verizon for that matter) even with Onstar.
Moot point if your in places with good cell service, but we very often are in remote places with pretty iffy or poor cell service.
We have Verizon phones, and same thing, places with zero normal cell service I can get a good signal at times using my wilson cell phone booster and better antenna.
