OnStar® Personal Calling

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6, 2006 Chevrolet Uplander, and 2006 Buick Terraza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The hand free, OnStar® personal calling (OPC) cellular phone feature is an additional option to the OnStar® system. This feature is already embedded within the vehicle communication interface module (VCIM), however, it must be activated by an OnStar® advisor. This is done most often during the initial OnStar® configuration, if the home location of the vehicle is in a geographic area where OnStar® personal calling is available. In the event this feature is not enabled, customers may connect to the OnStar® Call Center by pressing the blue OnStar® button and asking an advisor if OPC is available in their area. Users of the Generation 6.1 OnStar® system can verify the system has been configured for OnStar® Personal Calling by pressing the answer/end call button, waiting for the system to respond "OnStar Ready" then speaking the word "dial." If the system responds with a failure message, the system has not been configured for OPC. All other responses confirm that OPC has been enabled.
