Verizon has a plan where you can use your verizon plan through ONSTAR using your Verizon minutes.

Anyone doing this? I want to use the same phone (one number). Is there a way to get the ONSTAR or blue tooth kit I can install where the phone will be recognized upon entry of the truck? Or is this setup somewhere.

Is my 07 set up with digital ONSTAR?

I was in an 08 Escalade today and it was set up through the NAV for Onstar and hands free calling.

Anyne with an H2 doing this?

I have it. I added an extra line with Verizon for $10.00 a month and eliminated the Onstar #. I use it sometimes but mostly I still use my regular Cell Phone. After you switch over you lose some Onstar features like "Get my Sports" "Get my Weather" etc. but I didn't use that service to much so eliminating that wasn't a big deal to me. I don't know of a way you can keep your phone and have a bluetooth kit with the Onstar. You can do it with an aftermarket Head Unit that supports Bluetooth like Eclipse, etc.
Digital Onstar came in the later 2004 H2's and all 2005+ H2's. My H2 was an early 2004 model that came with the Analog Onstar but if you pay for your Onstar 1 year in advance they can upgrade most 2004's to the Digital for no charge.
