I looked this up to be sure, and according to the onstar website that service is specifically $300 a year and you don't get it if you don't pay. I've seen mixed messages about what happens if you don't have a subscription and push the button, apparently in some cases if you press the emergency button without a subscription a creepy voice tells you that you need to sign up.

I think people might mix this up because if you hit the onstar button itself you will talk to someone if even you're not subbed, but that's someone there to sell you service and they don't get your location. I think they may be able to dial 911 if you can talk, but I'm not even sure about that.

In any case car salespeople will say anything in order to get you to buy a car so I'm not sure if that's a trustworthy source.
