Default Does OnStar still work on a C6 Corvette?

Today I decided to push the Onstar button in my Corvette. An Onstar message came on, and told me to press the blue button. I heard ringing but nothing happened.

Is this system still working, and if so, do you need to get an upgrade to make it work?

Thank you.

I think they operated on that car via 3g, which was sunset in 22

OnStar is no longer supported, so no, it won’t work.

You don't say what year your car is but pre-2012 On-star used the 3G network which is no longer active. 2012 and beyond should still be active.

OnStar doesn’t work on our 2012 Suburban now either. I’m not sure which year they went to 4G but I’m pretty sure it isn’t 2012.
