Default I believe it is no longer available as an S4 option

I have it on mine 10/03 build. I find the hands free phone to be convenient but quirky.

Default What's this about Verizon?

Anyway, I have on-star. Can't really tell you if it's worth all the money I spent on the year subscription, but I can definitely tell you there are times when you thank g-d that you have it.

I hear on-star radio commercials daily. How expensive is it?
