Send and receive text messages from anywhere in the world - even in flight - with this compact and affordable Iridium satellite communicator.
The compact inReach Messenger from Garmin assures that home will always be closer than you think. Providing global two-way messaging and interactive SOS, even in flight, it keeps you connected with friends and family 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. The Messenger will keep a line of communication open as a backup when flying in the more remote bush areas. 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 added confidence of knowing that your message has been sent. You’ll even see a response that help is on the way in case of an emergency. The communicator’s internal, rechargeable lithium battery gives up to 28 days of battery life in 10-minute tracking mode — and provides safe charging to help recover a depleted phone.
