On Star

We have On Star in our vehicle. One of the perks is a built in telephone system.........supposedly a perk. You have to call out each number you would like to dial. The only problem is that the stupid thing can't understand me. It always repeats back to me something other than what I said. It makes me so mad. It doesn't even understand when I say the names of people that I programmed into the system. Spencer thinks it's so funny because he has absolutely no problems calling whoever he wants to call.
Anyway, those Ford commercials that show a woman saying, "Call, Mom." and the car calls Mom and makes the girl happy.........well, let's just say that when I try that, the system calls home, and when my husbands sees the commercial, he just looks at me and laughs.
Just so you don't think that I absolutely hate On Star, I will have to say that it has come in handy for us quite a few times. It's helped us when we got a flat tire as well as when I have lost my keys and needed something out of the vehicle before my husband got home. All in all it is a good system. I just wish the phone portion could understand me.
