The Phone Button
just use the minutes to make a few phone calls and try it
out. Your 30 complementary minutes will expire 2 months
after your OnStar service begins. Once they expire you will
need to purchase a package of minutes from OnStar to
continue using Hands-Free Calling. Your OnStar system
keeps track of your minutes, and when you make a call with
less than 10 or fewer minutes remaining, you'll hear a short
message.
How To Verify Remaining Units/Minutes
When you make or receive calls you use minutes. The
OnStar system calls them “Units”. Your OnStar system will
notify you when you have 10 or fewer calling minutes
remaining. This will occur at the beginning of a call or in the
middle of a call, and will tell you “You Have Less Than 10
Units Remaining”. You can check how many minutes you
have remaining by following these steps:
1. Press the phone button. When OnStar responds with
OnStar ready,
say “Units.
2. When OnStar responds with
“Verify or add,
say
“Verify.
3. OnStar responds with
“You have [#] units remaining.
4. Returns to main menu
OnStar ready.,
and waits for
your next command. If you are finished, say
"Cancel"
.
Note: If you have zero Hands-Free minutes left and you try to make
a call you will hear the message “I’m sorry, you don’t have enough
units to place a call. Connecting to OnStar Personal Calling”.You
will be connected to the OnStar Hands-Free Calling Center where
you can easily purchase more minutes so you can make calls.
