Could happen, but I believe the H2, until next model year, will have the Onstar Version 6.1 box which is digital with an analog backup, which means if Onstar cannot connect via digital service, it will jump to analog. For 2006 and earlier, it is definately a 6.1 version.

The phone system runs through Verizon, or one of their contractual partners; it is not a satellite phone. The satellite part of Onstar is the GPS system that is used for position location only.
