Onstar phone

I've used mine on several vehicles since activating the first system in 2004. Works great - has reception even when our cell phones don't (we have sprint cell phone service). It hasn't ever dropped a call. Minutes are pricey compared to a monthly cell plan, but I keep renewing them because the have ALWAYS worked when my cell phone won't. I've never had anyone on the other end of the call complain that they cannot hear me, and I've called lots of business in addition to family.

+1. I have no complaints. Has always worked great for me when I needed it, when cell coverage wasn't available. No complaints from the other end either. I've had the service on my previous truck and have it on my current truck since 2005.

I called my wife's car once and she nearly ran off the road. We got some free minutes with the service. Since then, we have never used it. I have OnStar in every vehicle and use the navigational/information services all the time. We just don't use the phone part of it. Besides, we usually have our cell phone in the car anyway.

One note- Just like cell service, there are pockets where you won't get any OnStar coverage either.

Mine has never worked when i wanted to use it. Have to go through OnStar itself to get connected. I quit paying for all of it.

My daughter calls me now and again with hers and she sounds like she is in the bottom of a barrel.
