Overview

Compact satellite communicator for two-way messaging off the grid

The Garmin InReach Messenger is a compact satellite communicator that sends two-way text messages by satellite when you are outside cell coverage. It switches between your phone's cellular connection and the 100% global Iridium satellite network through the Garmin Messenger app, and the internal battery runs up to 28 days in 10 minute tracking mode. Messaging, interactive SOS and location sharing all require an active satellite subscription, sold as an annual package or a flexible month-to-month plan.

Up to 28 days of battery life

The internal rechargeable lithium battery runs up to 28 days in 10 minute tracking mode between charges.

4 oz, 3.1 x 2.5 inch body

A compact, impact-resistant, IPX7 rated design at 4 oz and 3.1 by 2.5 inches.

Group messaging through the Garmin Messenger app

Thread group messages and sync your smartphone contacts list through the Garmin Messenger app, which switches automatically between cellular and Iridium satellite coverage.

Safety charging

Connect a compatible smartphone to the inReach Messenger for enough backup charge to send one custom text message from the phone's touchscreen if the phone battery dies.
