Re: interesting
I know alot of places where ONSTAR picks up CDMA better than a handheld unit as well because it has a 3 watt transmittiter which is much more powerful than a handset. And Analog that is still functioning here it picks up much better than these Verizon and PCS phones do out here because there is no CDMA tower within 30 miles of my other house. I know a bunch of cell phone companies that don't pick up out here. T-Mobile, and Sprint and Verizon when AT&T analog roaming is gone to name a few. Nextel, AT&T and SoLinc are the only companies that pick up so driving through this are and you wreck with T-Mobile you are SOL until someone drives by a few hours later. And Onstar has a backup battery system in case the vehicles battery ceases to function. And Airbag deployment isnt nessaceary for it to call for help. If you are side swiped with no curtain airbags or a force hits the car that is enough to trip the sensors it will call Onstar. |
