Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for cellular service borrowing between vehicles. More particularly, the system uses Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) technology in Telematics. According to the present disclosure when the vehicle passenger of first vehicle wants to place a cellular service, such as a phone call, but does not possess a phone or infrastructure in the first vehicle to complete the cellular service. The system and method disclosed herein enable the passenger to send a message to surrounding vehicles via DSRC technology. This message requests a cellular call “borrowing” from other vehicles. If one of the surrounding vehicles accepts the request, the surrounding vehicle completes the cellular service (i.e., places the phone call) and relays cellular service audio back to first passenger's vehicle via DSRC. The phone call can be placed via cell phone or telematics control unit present in the surrounding vehicle.
