I'm having a hard time with the idea of paying for on-call with prices ranging from $12 to $20 per month (depending on subscription duration). The best feature imho is the remote car start since i live in a cold climate area but this seems a bit crazy that im continuing a subscription mainly for this feature. I've only used the app in demo mode since i haven't picked up my vehicle yet.
question 1: am I missing the point of on-call?
question 2: if i let my trial lapse, will volvo offer a discount for a new subscription renewal? (similar to sirius?)
question 3: Did you retain your subscription and why?

thanks so much

It's worth it to me for the "send-to-car" nav feature and ability to lock/unlock car remotely. I recently activated the driving log feature and really like it - useful on vacation or business. I renewed my On Call for 18 months. I do not have a data plan subscription for the car as I don't need or use it. I can use any data on my iPhone which I always keep with me anyway. I have never used the remote start as I don't live in an extremely cold area and I don't see a need to cool my car down in the summer before I get in. If I lived in a harsher environment then remote start could be more beneficial.
