It should be able to access them from your phone instead of the cell service.

Using the word 'intercepts' makes it sound like they're doing the latter, although that may not be the case.

Yeah, it sounds to me like if a call or text comes to your phone, the car catches it before it reaches your phone because the two are connected and the car has priority access.
