Features:
TWO-WAY MESSAGING
A simple user interface through the Garmin Messenger app on your smartphone makes it easy to exchange text messages with loved ones via satellite or mobile networks.
SEAMLESS CONNECTION
Optimised inReach messaging uses a mobile connection of your smartphone when it's available, then it seamlessly switches to a 100% global Iridium® satellite network when you go beyond available mobile coverage range.
GROUP MESSAGING
With the Garmin Messenger app, your inReach connection supports group message threading and distribution. So, you can share your adventures with multiple contacts simultaneously — and have group text chats with friends and family.
INTERACTIVE SOS ALERTS
In case of emergency, trigger an interactive SOS message to the Garmin IERCC, a 24/7-staffed emergency response coordination centre.
LOCATION SHARING
Share your location with loved ones back home anytime by using your MapShare™ page or with your GPS coordinates embedded in your messages.
FLEXIBLE SATELLITE AIRTIME PLANS
To access the global Iridium network and communicate with your inReach Messenger satellite communicator, an active satellite subscription is required. You can opt for an annual package or a flexible month-to-month plan.
COMPACT, RUGGED DESIGN
Don't let the 4″ x 2″ size and 114 g weight fool you. inReach Messenger satellite communicator is tough, durable, impact-resistant and water-rated to IPX7.
SAFETY CHARGING

SYNC YOUR CONTACTS LIST
The Garmin Messenger app can sync with your compatible smartphone's contacts list to make staying in touch even easier.
ON-DEVICE DISPLAY

CHECK-IN MESSAGES
Check-in with contacts directly from the inReach Messenger satellite communicator by using preset messages that do not count toward your allotted text messages with an active satellite subscription.
