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 cellular networks.

SEAMLESS CONNECTION

Optimized inReach messaging uses a cellular connection of your smartphone when it’s available, then it seamlessly switches to a 100% global Iridium^® satellite network when you go beyond available cellular 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 center.

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 device, 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 3.1 inch x 2.5 inch size and 4 oz weight fool you. inReach Messenger is tough, durable, impact-resistant and water-rated to IPX7.

SAFETY CHARGING

Need a backup option in case your compatible smartphone battery dies? Just connect inReach Messenger to your phone for enough safety charge to send a custom text message from the inReach Messenger device via your phone’s touchscreen.

EXTRA-LONG BATTERY LIFE
