Well i know i said i love it but it sucks.
Took me 10 min to make a phone call then it would never hand up.
I keep pushing the button it kepping saying number please i give them a f #

 

I found out it only hangs up if you push the phone button on the mirror..which is a pain in the butt to reach because the rear view mirror is so far away.

 

I will not be using the phone after I use up the remaining 89 minutes..2/3 of them will be wasted with dropped calls or incomplete calls that I either can't receive (just interupts the radio) or the calls I make that never connect..TOTALLY WORTHLESS!!!

I'm debating still if I should even renew OnStar (safe and sound package)..I have yet to use them.

 

That's how i finally got it to shut off.

 

Same here

 

Mark, I have had the same problems and found that the rear view mirror is the only way to hang up a call. pushing and holding the botton by the headlight switch also works sometimes.

Dennis, sounds like verizon doesn't have good cell tower coverage in your area. Do you or anyone you know have verizon cell phones? If they work good with no call drop out there must be something wrong with your antenna.
In my area Verizon is the best, I haven't had one call dropped or missed in the hummer, I use mine over 100 minutes a month. If I go into the mountains near pittsburgh I have noticed where my verizon sucks too, but it's my cell phone and my onstar phone so I know it's just poor tower coverage.

Too bad there isn't a way to make onstar work with sim card carriers, then you could use it with at&t,t-mobile,cingular and a fwe others, I guess when onstar came out verizon won the bid or something.

 

Verizon sucks
They are so much in debt
They sold the building i work in and use to give 66 week of severance then it went to 35 week now it two weeks[:@][:@][:@]
Anyone hiring or want to buy a hummer or a house.

 

sorry to hear that Mark! You work(ed) for Verizon? My dad retired from NJ Bell/Bell Atlantic/At&t

 

I called OnStar from the truck and complained (perfect reception)..All they told me that everything looked good from their end and it must be the area I'm in that Verison is reconfiguring all the towers in my area and to expect these problems for an undetermined amout of time, months, even a year or more..I asked if they would credit me back at least 50 minutes of lost calls and they said ..Sorry charlie, no can do....So Screw em!

 

don't blame ya one bit...I hate all cell phone companies in general.
I wonder if an onstar phone would be the same as any cell phone if you don't have any minutes or activated? What I mean is any cell phone whether it's activated or not can still be used to dial 911 for emergencies, wonder if you can still use onstar that way if you drop the plan and have no minutes?
