Compact SOS Satellite Communicator

The Garmin inReach Messenger Plus is a handheld GPS device that enables two-way text, photo and voice messaging without cell service. It connects to a compatible smartphone via the Garmin Messenger app for group communication and interactive SOS alerts to a 24/7 coordination center. An active subscription is required and some jurisdictions regulate satellite communication devices.

For Off-Grid Communicators, Not Cellular Users

This device suits hikers, travellers and remote workers who need reliable messaging beyond mobile networks. Preset check-in phrases do not count against the monthly text allowance, while custom messages and 30-second voice clips are available when needed. Buyers who only require standard cellular connectivity or who operate in regions that prohibit satellite communicators should consider alternatives.

Up to 25 Days Battery in 10-Minute Tracking

The rechargeable battery lasts up to 25 days with 10-minute track intervals and up to 24 days in default mode. Messaging seamlessly switches between Wi-Fi, cellular and satellite links for cost-effective connectivity. The unit measures 3.07 inches wide and carries an IPX7 water-resistant rating for durability in harsh conditions.
