Garmin - inReach Messenger goes beyond the limits of the mobile network, so you can stay in touch with friends and family via global two-way text messages. Pair the compact satellite communicator with the Garmin Messenger app on a compatible smartphone to send messages via satellite. Stay on your adventures for up to 28 days of battery life between charges.
Seamless connectivity
Optimised inReach messages use your smartphone's mobile connection when available, then seamlessly switch to the 100% global Iridium satellite network when you go beyond the available coverage area.
Group messaging
With the Garmin Messenger app, your inReach connection supports sending group messages. You can share your adventures with multiple contacts at once, as well as hold group chats.
Interactive SOS alerts
In an emergency, trigger an interactive SOS message to the Garmin IERCC round-the-clock emergency response coordination centre.
Location sharing
Share your location at any time using your MapShare page or with GPS coordinates embedded in your messages.
Flexible satellite plans
An active satellite subscription is required to access the global Iridium network and to communicate with inReach Messenger. You can choose an annual package or a flexible month-to-month plan.
Contact synchronisation
The Garmin Messenger app can synchronise with the contact list on your compatible smartphone.
MIP display
The high-end memory-in-pixel screen of inReach Messenger lets you confirm that messages have been sent and even read replies directly on the device.
