Garmin inReach Messenger Handheld Satellite Communicator Global Messaging

If you’re venturing off the grid, this small, rugged satellite communicator1 goes beyond the limits of cellular networks to keep friends and family in reach with global two-way text messaging. You can still connect to the ones who matter, even when there’s no cellphone coverage. Pair your inReach device with the Garmin Messenger™ app on your compatible smartphone to text via satellite or cellular networks. Need emergency assistance? Send an interactive SOS to our coordination center. When you need to be sure, the on-device display confirms that your message has been sent. Use check-in messages to easily check in with contacts as you travel. Stay on your adventures longer with up to 28 days of battery life between recharges. 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 ResponseSM, a 24/7-staffed emergency response coordination center.
