Pairing your cell phone with the car using bluetooth is free and not part of OnStar. This allows you to use your cell phone handsfree in the car by utilizing the radio speakers and the same microphone that is there for OnStar. It is available as an option on the 1LT and standard on the 2LT/2SS. I use it all the time with my Nokia E71x phone from AT&T.
As an alternative, OnStar also contains a cell phone module (basically a pre-paid type thing where you car is assigned a phone number). It also utilizes the same microphone/speaker hands-free setup as a bluetooth connected cell phone. You pay by the minute and they "claim" that you can get service in places where your cell phone typically can't find a signal. Might be good to have a few minutes paid for in advance, like TommyTSquared did, for an emergency or something.
