It has more than paid for itself. The peace of mind alone is worth it IMO.

If you get rid of it, you can no longer say, fuck it, I've got OnStar.. right before you do something stupid.

I would renew it.. I have used it several times, As "D" said it is worth it for the peace of mind.

Its a great service and a great back up for regular cell phone failures. My onstar works in remote area's where no regular cell signall penetrates. I have kept it for the 2nd year. If you ever roll your truck and get pinned once airbags deploy they will call you. That would be one hands free call you would be assuradly glad to take!

i used it for a flat tire once! Told em i had a flat. Some dude and towtruck showed up and changed it. Who paid for it i'll never know.

I haven't used mine in the 1.5 years I've had my truck. But I renewed it just in case. Just one of those things I'd rather have when I need it. And I got a discounted rate when I renewed. I can't remember exactly how much, but I think it was $12.99/mo.

Just fired the phone up last week. They gave me 30 Min up front ...and 100 min for $16.00 and change....total 130 Min.

As far as Onstar goes.....can't hurt to have it in an emergency. Go for that too.

I did not opt to subscribe. Sounds like it would be good for emergencies. Is it's reach any better than a cell phone?

Yes it is better then a cell.. Your talking Dish in the sky...anywhere in the world that a cell can't reach. Plus..your Rig is connnected to Onstar and all your rigs puter systems can be monitored. Onstar can detect trouble with the rig and notify you. Also they can determin how serious the problem is and if it can be driven to service or you should shut it down. Not to mention unlocking your doors if you screw up and have left the keys inside.

Plus the rig emails you once a month and gives you a report on it's inards and puter systems.
