Um, no.
That's like letting fire insurance lapse, and then calling up the insurance
company asking to reinstate it as you are standing outside in your pajamas
watching your house burn down. Like insurance, OnStar uses the money from
people who DON'T need the service to pay to support those who DO need it.
Any way you crunch the numbers, the "reinstantiation" fee must be prohibitively
high, or everyone would let their service lapse until they needed it.
Much cheaper to simply throw a rock into a window.
