GM OnStar now offers TTY access
It looks like GM dealerships can now install TTY equipment into your 2008 and 2009 vehicles so you can use the OnStar service, and I am sure beyond that as well. They also provide you with 2 additional years of OnStar service when the usual one year is up.

OnStar1 TTY Equipment Offer
Select 2008 and 2009 model year GM vehicles are eligible for TTY2 services and equipment. This TTY equipment is currently available for reimbursement under the GM Mobility Reimbursement Program3. So it's available at little or no additional cost to you.
Also, customers who apply for and receive GM Mobility reimbursement for OnStar TTY equipment on one of the eligible GM vehicles listed below will receive two additional years of standard OnStar service (after first year of included service) at no additional cost.

1. OnStar services require vehicle electrical system (including battery), wireless service and GPS satellite signals to be available and operating for features to function properly.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers will no longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As of January 1, OnStar plans to offer service only through equipment that operates on the digital network, which may require the purchase of a system upgrade for eligible vehicles.
