4 G Wifi and Onstar abilities

[Debra in Cali]

I have never used my 4 G Wifi or Onstar for an emergency situation. Has anyone tried to use either system to get an emergency message or 911 call while out in the boonies without a cell signal? We are now pulling a 5th wheel and plan on going to Alaska and other desolate locations and would like to know if these systems will or can work.

 

Thank you for any information.

The signal in the truck seems to definitely be better in more desolate areas than that on a cell phone. To an extent they will work but keep in mind that its really gonna depend on how close to a AT&T cell signal. I would look up on AT&Ts website ( https://www.att.com/maps/wireless-coverage.html) to see what they rate the area you will be in. While the truck will have a more powerful antenna it does still have its limitations.

 

Hope this helps
