OnStar Hands-Free Calling requires a Hands-Free Calling?enabled vehicle, existing OnStar service contract, PrePaid minute package or enrollment in OnStar Shared Minutes Plan, and is not available in Alaska and some other markets.

from reading that on onstar.com
it sounds like you must have a OnStar service contract to uses the phone service

I ran out last month. Had about 35 minutes left and tried using them - no luck whatsoever, just said 'your units have run out' and tried to connect me to onstar.

when they called me (OVER AND OVER) to renew, they offered me a $149 renewal. I didn't bother - never used onstar once. I figure if the truck gets stolen, I'll just call onstar, given them my credit card number, renew, and have them lojack the hummer.

Onstar told me there was a way to download their message and play it back later. I once tried what they said to do to record them, and after they hung up - I could not figure out how to replay it. Not sure if he lied - maybe to get off the phone so he would not have to stay with me until I got where I was going.

F5, I think I read somewhere that YOU cancelled or did not renew OnStar and I seem to remember , I think, that you switched your OnStar Phone to Verision.

Without OnStar do you still have that set up?

OnStar uses Verizon as their their carrier.

if anyone still cares about this, the directions are turn by turn they are supposed to download to the car, and you will hear them as you need them. heres the thing on the onstar web site: http://www.onstar.com/us_english/jsp/plans/tbt.jsp, watch the demo if you want, it shows it. Next time an advisor starts telling you all the directions tell her "Shut the f*ck up stupid biycha nd download the directions to my car!" that should work out just fine.
