## Description

Product 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.

Review: Does exactly what it’s supposed to… - Does exactly the job it’s meant to do. Excellent battery life and links very well with app for ease of use. Probably the best value for money of all the satellite communicators (for using in the Uk (unless you want additional features like navigation)
Review: 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!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work through aircraft windshields? Specifically a Boeing 757/767. Thanks**
A: I have no idea but it does seam to work through double glassing.

**Q: How much is the satellite subscription**
A: You best go onto the GARMAN Web site and look at the packages as it depends on what you want.
I went for £13 with 8 free texts and free check in massages for 12 months but they also do a monthly subscription which costs a little bit more.
