SOS Satellite Communicator with Photo & Voice Messaging

Stay connected when you go off the grid. The inReach Messenger Plus (0100288700) is a powerful SOS satellite communicator that lets you send and receive text messages, voice notes, and photos — even in areas without cell coverage. With an active inReach subscription, you can communicate, share views, and trigger real help in emergencies via the global Iridium® network. 

Key Features & Capabilities

• Two-Way Text Messaging (up to 1,600 characters) — Compose longer, richer messages directly from the device or via the paired Garmin Messenger™ smartphone app. 
• Photo Sharing Over Satellite — Send a selfie or a view of your surroundings, even where no cell signal exists (requires pairing with the Garmin Messenger app). 
• Voice Messaging (30-second clips) — Use voice notes to communicate when typing isn’t practical — all via satellite (via app pairing). 
• Interactive SOS to Garmin Response — Instantly alert the 24/7 staffed Garmin Response coordination center with your GPS location. Messages, photos, and voice can be exchanged during an SOS.
• Live Tracking & Location Sharing — Share your real-time GPS position and route with friends and family using Garmin Explore or Messenger apps.
• Garmin Explore & Messenger App Integration — Plan trips, save routes, view progress, start group chats, send emojis or reactions, and manage map data. 
• TracBack® Routing — Navigate your return path back to your starting point along the same route.
• Seamless Communication Switching — Use Wi-Fi or your smartphone’s cellular connection where available, and the device will auto-switch to satellite once out of range.
• Check-In Preset Messages — Send simple, no-count check-ins to your contacts that don’t use your text allotment.
• Reverse Charging for Your Phone — In a pinch, power your phone from the inReach device so you can keep messaging via the app.
