Chevy Owners Get Exclusive New OnStar Plan
Tech Talk: Chevrolet Drivers Gain Access to Cut-Rate Data Package Starting March 3
Chevrolet has teamed with AT&T, and beginning March 3, the car company will begin offering a progressive new OnStar data package exclusively for Chevy owners, who reportedly used more than 4 million gigabytes of data in 2016.
U.S. Chevy owners with an in-vehicle OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot will now have access to an unlimited prepaid data plan for only $20 per month, allowing customers to utilize the full potential of their OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot without worrying about running out of data.
“We have contractors bidding jobs in their Silverados, families streaming movies in their Suburbans and Malibus and everyone tapping into the cloud for music,” says Alan Batey, president of GM North America and global head of Chevrolet. “With the most affordable unlimited 4G LTE data plan in the auto industry, the widest availability of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and new connected services like OnStar AtYourService, our momentum can only grow.”
In 2016, Chevy customers used nearly 200 percent more OnStar 4G LTE data in their vehicles compared to 2015.
Chevy reports that last year alone, its customers used nearly 200 percent more OnStar 4G LTE data in their vehicles compared to 2015. In the second half of 2016, Chevy owners used almost as much data as they had the previous 24 months since OnStar 4G LTE launched.
To put this data usage in perspective, Chevrolet owners and their passengers streamed the equivalent of more than 17.5 million hours of video in 2016.
As the first automaker to offer 4G LTE connectivity across its entire retail portfolio, Chevrolet has sold more than 3.1 million OnStar 4G LTE-connected vehicles since June 2014. Also, the auto company has more vehicles on the road equipped with 4G LTE than any other automaker.
Today, along with the 4G LTE connection, the OnStar Basic Plan comes standard on all new Chevrolet models. The Basic Plan includes select remote vehicle services and the OnStar AtYourService marketplace via the myChevrolet mobile app.
