Our take on the Garmin 010-02672-00 inReach Messenger Handheld Satellite Communicator

The Garmin inReach Messenger is a palm-sized satellite communicator that sends two-way text messages over the Iridium network when there is no cell signal, and over your phone's connection when there is. It adds an interactive SOS button that reaches Garmin Response, location sharing through MapShare, weather forecasts and TracBack routing. Its built-in battery runs up to 28 days and can top up a phone in an emergency. Against the larger inReach Mini 2 it trades a screen and on-device maps for a lower profile, longer battery and phone charging, so it suits people who are happy to run everything from the Garmin Messenger app. Satellite use requires a separate subscription.

Questions and answers

Do I need a subscription to use it?
Yes for satellite messaging, SOS and weather. Those run on the Iridium network and require an active Garmin inReach plan, which is not included. Messages sent over your phone's cell connection through the app do not need the satellite plan.
How is it different from the inReach Mini 2?
The Messenger has no screen or on-device navigation and runs through the Garmin Messenger app, while the Mini 2 has a small display and works standalone. The Messenger has the longer battery and can charge a phone.
Can it charge my phone?
Yes. It can pass power to a smartphone from its own battery, which is useful when your phone is low in the field.
Does it work worldwide?
It uses the Iridium satellite network, which covers the globe including polar regions, so it works anywhere with a clear view of the sky.
Is it waterproof?
Yes, it is built to withstand rain and splashes, so it can stay out in wet weather.
What is in the box?
The communicator, a charging cable and documentation. A subscription is not included.
