When we bought a new car for my wife in the fall of 2001, it came with Onstar, kind of free for the first few months. We live in Peoria and it took a long time just to turn it on. About 2 months. I beleive that there was a cost either by call or for a block of calls. Once the free period ran out we did not reup. I would suggest that you just get a cell phone. Some are real cheap.

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.
