Description:
With the inReach® Messenger satellite communicator, home is closer than you think (Active satellite subscription required. Some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices). Providing global two-way messaging and interactive SOS, it keeps you connected with friends and family even when you’re out of cell coverage. Use the device to check in with contacts, read and reply to their responses with preset messages and even share your GPS location data if you like. More detailed texting and group messaging are easy when using the Garmin Messenger™ smartphone app. Or send/receive messages by using compatible Garmin handhelds, wearables or other devices. Seamless switching between Wi-Fi® wireless networking and cellular/satellite networks gives you superior connectivity and cost-efficiency for all your communications. And the on-device display gives you the ability to confirm that your message has been sent. You’ll even see a response that help is on the way in case of emergency. The communicator’s internal, rechargeable lithium battery gives up to 28 days of battery life in 10-minute tracking mode — and provides safety charging to help recover a depleted phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grid down communications
Bought as a gift and he loves it. I have a family member that travels all over for work and loves to hike and this seemed like a great product for the money. The battery life is better than comparable products because of the smaller size screen, but this has the same signal strength, accuracy and connection speed. Recommended for the SOS feature for anyone who goes deep into the backcountry and might need a rescue.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worked great in Alaska
I bought this specifically for fishing trips I take to SE Alaska where we get dropped off at old forest service dry cabins dotted around the Tongass National Forest, 20-30 miles from the nearest town so there's no cell service. This thing worked like a champ in all weather conditions - we didn't have a clear view of the sky, maybe 50% clear coverage from the North and East, the rest being tree coverage, but it was enough where we never had issues sending or receiving messages, or getting weather updates. Longest I think it ever took for a message to get out was about 10 minutes, and that was when it was raining and cloudy. The paired phone app definitely makes it really easy to utilize the device as well, so don't skip that step if you buy one of these.I very much appreciate that Garmin has two different subscription methods - yearly subscription and monthly when you need it. I use the monthly as I only need it a couple times a year, so I just suspend it between usage. Since I use the monthly subscription, it does have a yearly fee involved that the yearly subscription isn't subjected too (something like $35), but compared to $400-500 for a SIM card pre-loaded with minutes on my sat phone that barely works, and where the minutes expire in 6 months, this is a steal!My main complaint is the battery life, in reality if you're sending and receiving a couple dozen texts a day, and it's not perfectly clear skies, expect 2-3 days - this is a very minor gripe as I always come prepared with many methods to recharge my gear. Fortunately, it doesn't eat up much from my battery banks, and it charged just fine with my folding solar panels. Secondly, I haven't figured out a way to charge the device while it's turned off - as soon as I plug it in to charge, it turns on, which often defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do.Overall, extremely pleased with this purchase, only thing that could make it better is if Garmin teamed up with one of the big satellite companies for better bandwidth so my wife can send me pictures of my dogs over the messenger!
4.0 out of 5 stars A must-have if you’re going into the wilderness…
Great to be able to text even when in the wilderness. Obviously works best in the open, but if you can get enough of a clearing in the forest, you can usually get a signal. Only complaint is the tiny screen, and the fact that to reasonably use the device for texting, you need a phone with a charge it (though you do have minimal functionality without a phone too).Garmin changed up their rate plans to make more money, which stinks - but still, I wouldn’t go into the backcountry without mine. Gives my family peace of mind..,
5.0 out of 5 stars Peace of mind is priceless
Totally worth the money. My son takes it when he goes offshore fishing, and just knowing that I can get a hold of him at any time gives me such peace of mind.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is great, but fully test it before you need it.
Ok, this great - but before you get to the review, know this. Both the user and receiver of messages MUST try it all out and simulate the scenarios you want to test. For example. Put you your phone into airplane mode, turn bluetooth on, and try and send and receive messages. Anytime you test this device, make sure your phone is in airplane mode. The garmin messenger WILL use cell service your phone if it is available. This is great as it will save you charges from garmin. The testing is important as you will learn the noises it make when you send and receive messages. You will also learn how much coverage you need, and where the device needs to be to communicate with satellites. The last thing you need to work out is what message mean. For example, when I send a "check in" message, it means I have good cell service now. If I send a "starting" message after my first one of the day it means that I am taking a break. My second "Stop of the day means I am going to sleep.OK the review. You do not need a phone to use it, but it is HIGHLY recommend. I only turn the device on and off, and start and stop tracking on the device. Everything else is done on my phone.You need a pretty good view of the sky to use, but some tree cover is acceptable. It works within in less than 10 seconds with a clear view. The people you want to communicate with will have choice. Garmin messenger OR email and text. Once a person registers with the garmin messenger app, text message will go there, rather than their phone.The battery life is good. I recommend less than 10 min ute tracking, as the battery lasts longer. I keep the device charged every night.The device can be used as a power source for a small amount of power in an emergency. I do not recommend that except in a very critical emergency.Lastly, I have never pressed the SOS button, but I did use it in a serious situation to help me get out safely. It works.
1.0 out of 5 stars Hard to see print.
The print is too small. Doesn’t look like the ad. Hard to use. Don’t like it at all.
5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute must for backcountry
Worked great to get messages to the wife and coordinate locations with hunting partners. New plans allow suspension of service when not in use to save money.
Basicamente lo mismo que el mini Inreach, pero mas bateria, mucho mas.
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Tuve 2 mini inrech y ambos se les termina la batería en 2 o 3 hrs., uno simplemente dejó de funcionar, ya no cubría garantía desafortundadmente.Este le dura, sin problemas 78 hrs continuas, con trak de 10 mins.Esto quiere decir que si lo apagas cada noche, casi una semana sin tener que recargar...Y funciona con una app nueva que es muy facil de usar y mandar mensajes y reccibir.Otra cosa importante es que puedes enviar mensajes y en el caso que tenga Red Celular, se manda por ese medio sin gastar tus mensajes Satelitales. Automaticamente busca cualquier señal y se manda rapido.
I finally received it and love it
Thanks - - the device arrived and it is just what I needed.

Garmin makes a great product. Works seamless with the garmin messages app, takes a few minutes to set up and after that just open the app and send a message as needed
Great buy!
This item was great for my daughter's trip to Canadian rockies for those areas with no cell phone coverage. It gave me peace of mind while she was away and also she had a means of getting help if required - thankfully it wasn't! It was very useful for sending a pre written message saying Just checking in - all good! Or 'having a great time'. It was lightweight and small and easy to carry in a backpack or even a pocket. I would recommend this even if only for the peace of mind!
