OnStar Hands-Free Calling
OnStar Hands-Free Calling allows
eligible OnStar subscribers to make
and receive calls using voice
commands. Hands-Free Calling is
integrated into the vehicle, and can
be used with OnStar Pre-Paid Minute
Packages. Hands-Free Calling may
also be linked to a Verizon Wireless
service plan in the U.S. or a Bell
Mobility service plan in Canada,
depending on eligibility. To find out
more, refer to the OnStar Owner’s
Guide in the vehicle’s glove box, visit
onstar.com or onstar.ca, or speak
with an OnStar advisor by pressing
the OnStar button or calling
1-888-4-ONSTAR (1-888-466-7827).
OnStar Virtual Advisor
OnStar Virtual Advisor is a feature
of OnStar Hands-Free Calling
that uses your minutes to access
location-based weather, local
traffic reports, and stock quotes.
By pressing the phone button and
giving a few simple voice commands,
you can browse through the various
topics. See the OnStar Owner’s
Guide for more information (Only
available in the continental U.S.).
How OnStar Service Works
In order to provide you with OnStar
services, your vehicle’s OnStar
system has the capability of
recording and transmitting vehicle
information. This information is
automatically sent to an OnStar
Call Center at the time of an OnStar
button press, Emergency button
press or if your airbags deploy.
The vehicle information usually
includes your GPS location and,
in the event of a crash, additional
information regarding the accident
that your vehicle has been involved
in. When you use the Virtual Advisor
feature of OnStar Hands-Free
Calling, your vehicle also sends
OnStar your GPS location so that we
can provide you with location-based
services.
