Product Details

Say it, show it, share it with the inReach® Messenger Plus SOS satellite communicator. Keep in touch with friends and family beyond cell service, and exchange two-way text messages with an active subscription (some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices). Connect your compatible smartphone, and tell them you miss them — or show them the view with voice recordings, photos and group messaging on the Garmin Messenger™ app. Explore with peace of mind knowing you can trigger an interactive SOS message.

  • Compact SOS satellite communicator enables two-way text, photo and voice messaging even in areas with no cell coverage; requires active subscription (some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices)

  • Connect with your compatible smartphone using the Garmin Messenger™ app to share your adventures with multiple contacts simultaneously; send text messages with up to 1,600 characters, share photos and send 30-second voice messages with friends and family

  • Explore with peace of mind knowing you can trigger an interactive SOS message to Garmin Response℠, a 24/7-staffed international coordination center, to seek help in an emergency (active subscription required; some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices)

  • Check in with friends and family by using preset phrases that do not count against your monthly allotted text messages, or send custom messages when you have more to say

  • Optimized inReach® device messaging uses either Wi-Fi® technology or the cellular connection of your smartphone then seamlessly switches to satellite technology when you go beyond cell service (active subscription required; some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices)

  • Pair with your compatible Garmin watch or handheld device to control inReach® device functions from the paired device; includes text messaging, location sharing and triggering an SOS (active subscription required; some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices)

  • Plan your trip, record an activity, and view a course highlight showing how much farther to your destination when paired with the Garmin Explore™ app on your compatible smartphone

  • Share your GPS location with friends and family via live tracking, and review your tracking activity on the Garmin Explore™ smartphone app

  • Internal, rechargeable lithium battery supports up to 25 days of use in 10-minute tracking mode — and provides safety charging to help restore a depleted phone

Love it!

25 days ago
I used this for a couple of weeks in the mountains of AZ and CO. In CO my friend's Zoleo wasn't working but my inReach worked great. And I love the option to send my location with my message so my other buddy could easily find us. I chose the Messenger Plus so I could send pictures and it worked flawlessly!

Reliable

Used on a camping/fishing trip to the Boundary waters of Minnesota. My wife loved being able to communicate with me and track my every movement as we traversed the wilderness. She’s excited for me to have it for hunting trips near home where service can be unreliable at times. I have already recommended it to friends who are planning on getting one for themselves as well.

Saved me

I bought this when I got my motorcycle and it was a good thing that I did. I went on a fire road and went over the side and thankfully I wasn’t injured. However, I was 8 miles from the nearest road and without cellular service. The in which messenger did what it was supposed to do and contacted search and rescue.

Works very well

Bought his to upgrade my communication during my annual September canoe trip in Algonquin Park. The phone interface worked perfectly as did connection with the satellite. Simple texts went quickly and smoothly as did replies. Sending photos to multiple people took considerable time. One evening it took almost 2 and a half hours to send 8 texts with 6 photos.

Great addition to kit!

Upgraded my satellite communicator from a SPOT to this and have been impressed with its functionality and reliability. Battery life has been great. It is awesome being able to send pictures from the backcountry. The subscription price is reasonable. Highly recommend to anyone that enjoys spending time in remote areas and wants to stay in touch with friends and family.

It works

I bought for when I'm not in cell service, which is quite a lot. I mainly use it for the just in case. I tried the the picture messenger and they are very clear. I wish that it was easier to let other family members use it other than that it works great and sends quick enough.

Messenger Plus is Great !

a year ago
I’ve owned MANY Satellite Communications devices in the last 10 years: Spot sat com products (spot 3, spot x), and a number of INREACH sat comm products- explorer+, 750i, mini 2, messenger, and now the messenger plus. I like it! I gave input years ago to Garmin that I’d be interested in a sat comm device that sends pictures and voice memos. You listened! THANK YOU! I’ve basically been downsizing my devices and just bought my MESSENGER in May. When MESSENGER PLUS was released and I saw the functionality you built in- plus allow longer text messages- I bought it. I may be the first purchaser! It works great. While I do not plan to use it a lot, it’s good to have the functionality when I am off the grid- including SOS use if needed. However- you DO need to Make sure receivers of your pics and voice messages have the Explorer software their phones- which is an annoyance. It would be great if Garmin could update the system so anyone can receive the messages! And, reducing the monthly price of premium service would be great too. In Technology, costs come down over time. Cell service is one example. Why not iridium? Thanks again for a solid device for off the grid tracking and communicating! Vinnie the K

Thank you for your review.

Sturdy reliable but needs clearer SUPPORT material

Used to summit Mt Williamson from Shepherds Pass. Sent daily check-in messages with GPS position to family under Premium plan & got location and local weather. On/OFF switch is hard to press when conserving battery. Runs down to 66% power after 24 hrs. Unfortunately could not pull ROUTE into Explore app
