If you’re venturing off the grid, this small, rugged satellite communicator goes beyond the limits of cellular networks to keep friends and family in reach with global two-way text messaging.
Key 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 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 Garmin Response, 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:
The internal, rechargeable lithium battery gives you up to 28 days of battery life in 10-minute tracking mode, so you can do what you love longer between recharges.
