No, but the Wikipedia article seems to indicate that OnStar has the ability to store GPS and phone contact information even if you aren't subscribed.

Also, I can't imagine that buying several millions of data connections would be that expensive, especially if all that those connections are doing are sending out a ping of reports once a month.
