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 preset 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.
Stay in touch with global messaging.
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 (see below) is required. You can opt for an annual package or a flexible month-to-month plan.
InReach Subscription Costs
