After the magic date there won't be any analog
equipment for your bag phone to talk to.
And you aren't the only one - there are a LOT of GM Onstar
customers that are going to be left high and dry.

Well Here in N/W Indiana any Cell Phone even if not in Service Will
work to Call 911 . But I go Fishing in a lot of Places that the
handheld Cell will not work So I tried to get My old Analog 3 Watt
with the roof Mount ant activated No Way I was told No New
Activation for Analog But if I would of kept it active I could. For
a little longer

Keep in Mind in a Emergency at the Repeater site 911 Will give that
Location at the PD Well I guess so would a Regular Phone Patch
I picked up 2 Brand New Motorola Bag Phone 3 Watt at a Ham Fest for
$5.00 and put it in My wife's car for Emergency use only. Not
activated, If you got someone you don't like you can call the
Collect at $6.00 and $2.00 a Min
PS
I recall in the old days of hams making 911 Calls on Repeater Auto
Patch We had to spend more time actually trying to Explain to the
Dispatcher why Their CAD System shows us in some other Place Miles
away from where We were calling, This would take up Valuable time
in trying to give Info on the Real Emergency.
Good Luck
