Absolutely. With a human touch at the very center of OnStar’s service, it is essential that the person at the end of the call understands the landscape, both from a geographical and cultural perspective. For the Middle East, this will include a regional connected contact center with fully trained advisors speaking both Arabic and English.
OnStar equipped vehicles come with a large roof antenna that’s stronger than that of a cell phone. Where the cellular network signal is weak you might still have a connection, although your cell phone does not. However, please note the OnStar antenna depends on the same kind of (cellular) network as an ordinary cell phone and as such is subject to cellular network coverage and availability. It’s not a satellite phone. Not all services are available everywhere, particularly in remote areas. See our User Terms for more details.
