Flase.

Under herteroscedasticity, the OLS coefficients are not biased, but are no longer efficient. Hence, under this, the estimates would not be biased, but would be inefficient, in the sense that the OLS estimates would not have the minimum variance. It is the GLS, which would provide the minimum variance of the estimates.
