I went through that about a month ago. I kept telling them no. They finally offered it for 11.79 a month with 2 months free. I still said no, and that really seemed to piss them off.

My 1st year isn't up yet. I might continue Onstar if I can get $12 per month on a one year deal. The $212.93 online ($17.75 per mo.) is not going to keep me.

I want to try it out so that I can use the phone function, but then there is the $9.99/mo from my phone company too. What functions do you like or use on the service that keeps you coming back for more?

I like the Onstar service and do use the phone on occasion. I am currently still under the first year on the H3 but on my H2 they would deal and that was in better times. Work the best deal you can.

I just passed my one year and paid the monthly rate at $19.95 for now. My phone minutes were expiring - the best deal they would give me is the standard rate of 200 minutes for $70 (or whatever the price is). For that much cash - forget it.
I think I'll cancel my monthly renewal and work them on an offer. Thanks for the tips guys.

I purchased mine used also and am on the normal monthly plan with OnStar. I was paying for the prepaid minutes, but then I figured it out and it definatelly was more benefitial for me to change my cell phone over to Verizon so that I could add my H3 to the family plan. I use my phone all the time and whenever I go on any trips I just forward my cell phone to the H3 so I don't even have to deal with the cell while driving.

i was just going to let mine expire but if they offer a deal i will keep it...i like the 11 ish a month and 2 months free deal....but if i dont get offered it ill drop it like a rock. i do love the phone function though. perhaps we should all band togther with "our" deals to use as a bargining chip when we get near our expiration dates for onstar...a friend got it for X amount etc.

What functions do I like best?
It's more of an insurance policy than anything but I like these features;
- Automatic Airbag Deployment Response
- OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics
- Stolen Vehicle Location Assistance, kinda like a cheap LoJack
- Remote Door Unlock
These are my top 4 out of the 12 services they offer. Hopefully I'll never use 3 of them and the monthly vehicle diagnostic is a nice to have for maintenance records. If you travel a lot out of town and have ever had to dial 911 then you'll know why the built in GPS function is so good. I had to call 911 on I-75 once and when the dispatcher asked exactly where I was I went, "uhhhh..." I felt so dumb because I'm used to knowing where I am and what I'm doing in a crisis. Totally helpless at that moment and now with OnStar it won't happen again.

OnStar will deal, times are hard - 
When he came back I was offered another year for $147.15! 
Isn't it amazing how much fudge room OnStar has for such things as billing and renewal? If I didn't like OnStar so much I would have told them to pack sand but despite its cost OnStar is a pretty good deal for what they offer.
