what type of onstar system do you have? analog, analog/digital3 ready, or analog/digital. Is your cell phone digital or analog? If you live in the north east and have Verizon wireless with a digital ready Onstar you can share your plan with your cell phone and truck for $10.00 extra a month. You will have 2 different phone number though.

 

Best bet is getting a vehicle with bluetooth and a cell phone with bluetooth

I have Alltel right now.....and am looking to change. I'll have to check down here to see if that is available.

How do you tell which Onstar I have? I have an '01 Chevy 2500HD.

 

If I am understanding you correctly, I purchase an Onstar plan (which has minutes already on it) and pay an additional $10 to have the Verizon shared. But do you keep the same minutes with Onstar or do you share the Verizon minutes through Onstar in the vehicle (if you were to go over the OnStar minutes)?

 

What is bluetooth? Haven't heard of it.........out of the loop I guess!

 

Thanks!

I understand my 03 has an analog/digital ready (upgradable) but it can't use Verizon yet.

2001 I'm sure will have the analog Onstar system. Upgrades are not available yet to go digital or pricing.

 

With the share plan you use all the minutes from your cellular phone plan.

 

Bluetooth products are every where, from cars to computers. http://www.bluetooth.com/products/index.asp

 

what is does

you use your bluetooth phone and you program it to your vehicle so you can use the vehicle to make calls, instead of using the cell phone. It's just like a hands free system but better.

I contacted OnStar yesterday and from what I understand, this deal with Verizon is only available on '04 and up. Just a FYI for anyone on this discussion an interested. :seeya:

And not ALL 2004's, just those that already have the new digital AMP. My 2004 'Burb doesnt have the right one, and GM is not planning on making upgrade packages for 2 to 3 years according to the ONSTAR rep I talked to, who, for once, seemed to have a clue.

 

Pity cause I already have Verizon.

You found out more than me as when I ask I get the standard "canned" answer that you'll be notified when available and it will be before the 2007 cutoff date.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      New tires are on, Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT's in 235/75/15. $100 per tire, after $10 AAA discount. Plus install ($100), disposal fees, and taxes.   The new tires ride nice. Catch 22, new tires, I love it again! But I feel like I've been through the wringer with this rig, and maybe I don't need this kind of headache right now. Wait until tomorrow, I'll probably love it again and keep it another week.   Never a dull moment: Got a CEL driving to the tire shop, P0172 bank 1 too rich. Oh lordy, really? I've been enjoying an emoji-free dash for too long, apparently. I popped the hood at the shop and I think there was a vacuum leak very close to the intake. Cleared the code and put a bunch of miles on it going home, code never returned. My fix was zip-tying the line on the vacuum reserve ball because the hose won't stay seated. It's either that or the fuel pressure regulator has an issue again or an injector is leaking. See why I'm getting tired of this one?!   In the gas price thread I recorded 19mpg on the last tank in fairly mixed driving and some higher-speed highway (70). I also don't have the lower engine shield installed right now, and that would help with diverting a lot of wind underneath the truck.   Not too long ago, a green '96 4-door 4x4 came up for sale with less than 1,000 actual miles. There was a story there but it was real, and the place wanted like $25k for it. Would be fun to have a NICE example of one of these, but not too nice. The joy is driving them.   That's it for a while...family and social stuff all weekend, no time to play with my Hot Wheels in the garage for the next couple of days.

      $5.19 after Kroger discount for 87 today. Moses!   Somehow I've already put 560 miles on the Blazer with the last tank clocking 19mpg.

      Oil dipstick

      By Stu Katz · Posted

      I have a 91 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.3 liter. My dipstick broke. Can someone tell me how long is the oil dipstick. Local Part stores do not stock the oil dipstick. If someone can tell me the length. I can match up an aftermarket one. Thank you.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Assembling a Word Puzzle   A sentence in a famous sermon says:    “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them".   Forget it was a sermon and forget its religious nature. Assemble the puzzle. What did he say? I'm only going to unravel the part underlined.... Keep it simple and out of the ditch. It's a word puzzle not a religious class. I'm not writing a book. Okay..   By saying that people conscious of that stated need will receive; the implication is that there are also people that are not conscious and thus deprived.   But this one sentence also says that ALL people have this need, not just the ones aware of it.   NEED will try to lead you to satisfying it. You're thirsty, you seek water. You're hungry, you seek nourishment. You're cold, you find cover. Lack of awareness is a choice. So when he says "conscious' he isn't saying simply aware but aware and active in satisfying that need.    That's allot of information for eight words. This man knew how to craft a sentence...   Give that some thought the next time you read an advertisement or a book.

      Gas fill door

      By snowblind · Posted

      My gas fill door does not stay closed. Not sure what happened, but it works its way to about a inch open every trip. Need a fix to this. 2020 Silverado 1500.
