It is great for a back up emergency use and for piece of mind. But to answer your question I don't think that has anything to do with the call that was received. I have had onstar in a few of my vehicles and can't remember them ever calling me in the car.
Just a friendly warning. I also signed up for the cheap minutes. I wondered why they were so cheap considering its about 10x as much if you want to add more.

Here's the deal, you have to add a credit card in order to get the minutes. OnStar then takes the liberty of adding it to your account and setting it to auto renew. If you don't remove your credit card they will start billing you monthly after your 6 months is up (the whole onstar package not the minutes).

Its not a huge deal, I just asked them to please remove my credit card and they did so no problem.
