Garmin InReach Messenger Plus

Tell them you miss them. Show them the view. Share the experience. With an active inReach subscription, the trailblazing inReach Messenger Plus SOS satellite communicator lets you exchange text, photo and voice messages when your adventure takes you beyond cellular range. Plus the durable design withstands extreme temperatures and the battery lasts for weeks. Stay connected even in remote locations by exchanging photos, voice messages, and text messages without mobile signal. Pair your device with the Garmin Messenger app on your compatible smartphone to send selfies or share breathtaking sunsets. With the app, you can also send 30-second voice messages to let loved ones know you’re thinking of them, all without the need for cell coverage.
