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've got the family plan where I use one dedicated # for the H2 and one for my cell phone. I love the fact that Verizion has this option.

DONE! Works great. you just forward your cell to the H2 and you're good to go.

*72 and the truck's number will send all your calls from cell to the truck.
*73 gets your calls back to your cell.

so you just had to pay 10 bucks for a extra line from verizon ? also do you have to keep your subscription to onstar? thanks

anyone know if you can SELF upgrade to digital onstar, simply to use the cell phone service deal? Don't want to use Onstar, and mine is analog... so I need to upgrade.

You would need to upgrade to Dig Onstar as well as keeping up your Onstar subscription and add an extra line from Verizon for $10.00 a month.

So the Onstar unit within our vehicles basically has a phone built in, correct? Has anyone developed a product to bypass the current phone and utilize your own phone? This could either be wired or bluetooth. Does anyone know if one of these exists? I know about the Parrot 3XXX series, but would like to find a way to tap into the current system and utilize the steering wheel controls and the built in antennae.

Verizon wants me to extend my current contract, and add the line. In doing this, I would have to also change my current Verizon family plan to one of the current plans. It's not the money as much as their attitude and demanding nature in which they discussed options with me. I already have 6 lines with them and got a hassle when the 6th was added because the typical "family share plan" is only good for 5. I do not need a seventh phone line.

I just signed up for onstar ... I have a year to go ... But I would like to get more minutes... How can I get my phone hooked up to verizon and keep my onstar service other than the hands free feature...
