As you can see by my question below, I didn’t get an answer. My vehicle is a 2016 Chevy Equinox. OnStar, the dealership and Chevr
ANSWER : Hi Sheryl. Sorry to hear you’re having difficulty getting a good answer to this common problem. Although a mobile phone may connect to a bluetooth device, the device itself, in this case the OnStar program sometimes will not engage all functions. From what I understand – and I might be wrong so please don’t take this as 100% certainty – in order for you to access the hands free message log, the phone must be registered with OnStar; not just linked to the vehicle’s bluetooth. Since OnStar has a partnership with AT&T, and your phone is Verizon Wireless, this option is not available. I had the same problem on our Chevrolet two years ago and this was the reasoning behind it. I believe the dealership should have disclosed this information to you before purchasing the vehicle; but like many other things in car sales, this is often overlooked and assumed the customer knows. I believe the only solution to resolve this problem, as bad as it may sound, is to change your wireless service to AT&T in order to access this function on your vehicle’s OnStar program. In regards to Google Voice, unfortunately, this is not our specialty here at YourMechanic.com. We focus on providing repair and maintenance tips and services for customers. What you’re asking is a computer software compatibility question that is best answered unfortunately by GMC or OnStar.
