I have never heard anyone claim it is. To assert that would be ridiculous.
You'd be surprised how many people DO think that it is activated by satellite and not local cell towers and think it will work 'everywhere'.
That lady's daughter thought it did when she purchased it for her mother's safety. Well they found out real quick that it doesn't work in the Sierra Foothills of California and many other parts of the country just like a cell phone will not have service 100% of the time when you are traveling.
OnStar should DISCLOSE that to buyers.
Moral of the story is don't have a heart attack or accident in an area that doesn't have an OnStar cell tower signal. Cause pushing the OnStar button isn't going to help you.
