I have never heard anyone claim it is. To assert that would be ridiculous.
I keep it active but haven't used it much.
We did use it last summer when we were driving through corn country in southern Illinois late at night. The car in front of us hit a deer so we stopped to make sure the driver was OK (she was fine but her car was definitely not driveable). She was also from out of state and neither of us knew where in the hell we were, other than on I-70 somewhere in Illinois. No mile markers were near where we were stopped. It was very dark so no landmarks were visible. I could have called 911 on the cell phone, but I would not have been able to tell them exactly where we were. The light bulb above my head came on and I remembered Onstar. Everything worked out and I've kept paying for it since.
If she had been critically injured, the few minutes saved by having an exact location through Onstar could have made a big difference.
