I am sure it is better now, but I rented a car with Onstar once and the 
coverage was pretty poor.  That was a number of years ago, and haven't used 
one since.

As for cell phone, I would suggest getting one.  You don't have to get 
service as the phone will still work for 911.  For that matter, you can 
still get one, get one of the basic services and never give anyone your 
number, nor turn it on for that matter unless you are in an emergency 
situation.
