What they say doesn't sound right! If you can talk to an OnStar advisor *at all* through your 9-5, then it has an analog cell phone module in there; after all, that's what it uses for communication (plus a GPS locator). I don't know the details, and perhaps there's more to it than that, but it seems so illogical! If what they're saying is true, maybe your dealer can install the right module for you??
For sure, analog cellular would be nice to have in Canada because it has much better coverage than digital. Even here in the U.S., depending on your service provider, analog is good to have... I use T-Mobile (GSM) for my regular cellular service, and while it's fine in NYC, they have spotty coverage in upstate NY, and practically no coverage in places like Vermont, W. Virginia, most of DelMarVa, etc... I have some minutes loaded up for emergencies.
But I will say it again (I digress) : OnStar should have been dual-mode capable (ie, analog AND digital) from the start, because analog will go away in the not-so-distant future. They had better provide free upgrades at that point in time, because I'm sure no one will pay for such an upgrade! Their situation is bad enough as it is, with so few people subscribing after the first year is up...
Good luck,
Jason
