If you haven't visited Onstar.com, here's one for you... I used the online feature for setting up service with my local dealer. Clickety click, enter date, enter service request (in my case, it was the "free first service" I was promised at time of sale). Waited for confirmation email from dealer.... waited... and voil... oops. It was a salesman trying to sell me that "08 HHR SS I wanted." I replied back that I _have_ an 08 HHR SS, and that I was trying to schedule service through Onstar. Next day, another salesman from the dealer sent me a "give us a call any time so we can show you our inventory of 08 HHR SS's." I replied to him as before. Next day, the first guy sends me another email letting me know I can call any time to get more info about the new 08 HHR SS's. Asshats... all of them.
I've got a case open with GM corporate (they're no better thus far)... and I gladly shared copies of the emails with them (including my replies clearly indicating that I was trying to set up service through Onstar).

I call 'em with my onstar since I don't use it for anything else.

Had OnStar on my GMC canyon since 05 . Phone has come in handy a couple of times. Got it on my HHR ,OnStar phone worked when cell phone was in dead zone It handles incoming and out going calls. Diagnostics
comes in a e-mail once a month tells you everything you already know on your digital read out but its nice to have a hard copy. I like mine and will renew at the end of the year.

Bought my new 2008 2 LT HHR on May 9th of this year. My wife and I have On Star and we both love it. We ordered the turn/turn navigation and that thing is SWEET.
Also paid the extra 15 bucks for the extra 100 minutes for the phone even though we both have cell phones.
I'll definately be re-newing when the time comes.

The onstar phone uses CDMA instead of GSM and its a 3 watt car phone so it has great coverage. I go to Northern California a lot to some friends weekend house so its nice to have. Works where my GSM at&t cell doesn't.
