The Garmin inReach Messenger is a palm-sized two-way satellite communicator that sends and receives texts, shares your GPS location and triggers an SOS through the Iridium network, using the Garmin Messenger app on your phone. It also has a small color screen and buttons for basic messaging when your phone is dead or out of reach, and it can act as a power bank for a phone. It suits hikers, backpackers, paddlers and overlanders who go beyond cell coverage and want a lighter, cheaper alternative to a full inReach handheld. Reviewers praise its size, battery life and easy setup, but note the required satellite subscription and slower message delivery than cellular texting.

Owners like the inReach Messenger as a compact safety link for trips off the grid. They call it reliable for check-ins and SOS, with battery life that outlasts their phones. Complaints center on the subscription cost and the slow, sometimes delayed message delivery.
The Garmin inReach Messenger is a small, rugged, lightweight satellite communicator. It sends and receives two-way text messages where there is no cell coverage. An active satellite subscription is required, and some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices.
It works with the Garmin Messenger app, which handles texting and group messaging with multiple contacts at once. You can also check in with preset messages that don't use your allotted text messages, and share your GPS location. The on-device display confirms that your messages have been sent.
In an emergency, you can trigger an interactive SOS to the Garmin IERCC, a 24/7 staffed monitoring and coordination center. You receive confirmation that help is on the way. The device can switch between Wi-Fi, cellular and satellite networks. It can also pair with select smart devices and other Garmin handhelds, wearables and marine equipment.
