Our take on the Garmin inReach Messenger Plus Two-Way Satellite Messaging and SOS

The Garmin inReach Messenger Plus is a palm-sized two-way satellite communicator that sends texts, photos and voice messages over the Iridium network and can trigger an SOS to Garmin's 24/7 response center. It pairs with the Garmin Messenger app on your phone and also works as a power bank and a basic GPS navigator. The Plus adds photo and voice message support over satellite, which the original inReach Messenger and most rivals lack. It suits hikers, boaters, backcountry skiers and remote workers who leave cell coverage; it is heavier and more expensive than a plain satellite messenger, and it needs a subscription to do anything useful.

Questions and answers

Does the inReach Messenger Plus need a subscription?
Yes. Two-way messaging, weather and SOS require an active inReach satellite plan. Without one the device is limited to basic functions.
How is it different from the original inReach Messenger?
The Plus adds satellite photo and voice messages and a slightly larger battery. Texting, SOS and the power bank function are shared with the original.
Can I send photos over satellite?
Yes, but they are compressed and upload slowly. Expect minutes per photo in good sky view.
Does it work without a phone?
It can send preset messages and trigger SOS on its own. Full texting and photo messages are easier through the Garmin Messenger app on your phone.
Is it waterproof?
It carries an IPX7 rating, so it survives rain and brief immersion. It is not built for diving.

The device, a USB-C cable, a lanyard and documentation. A charging adapter is not included.
