Hard A Super Difficult Time Getting To Work

Very disappointing. Paid for the subscription and unlimited messaging as our family is dealing with major medical at this time. Was hoping to be able to communicate regularly. Unfortunately most of the time was told it needed a clear view of sky. We were 9500 feet up and had clear view. Took several minutes for messages to send and seemed to only receive messages once it was turned off and then back on. Was impossible to actually have any sort of back and forth dialog. Super dissatisfied.

Solid And Reliable

Worked flawlessly in the field, connects reliably to my phone, and has excellent battery life. Took it on a week long trek and used it most nights to message my family on the other side of the planet, and the experience was smooth. I also appreciated how discreet the design is visually, definite selling point for me.

Great Way To Keep In Touch

I got this for some backcountry hunting trips. It is really nice to put my Fiancée's mind at ease when I'm trekking deep into bear country most of the time in the dark. Super easy to use and the added benefit of purchasing SAR Insurance at a reasonable rate make this a no brainer. Definitely worth the extra few ounces.

Excellent Easy To Use

Excellent with easy to use features. Acquires GPS satellites quickly! I always have communication with a message satellite, even in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico! At this price, can't be beat. It works!

Perfect On A Budget

I have used a Garmin 66i on many occasions in the backcountry. While the inReach messenger doesn't have all the same capabilities as that unit it gets the job done. If you are on a budget but need an inreach this is the tool for your toolbox. The antenna is impressively strong and I haven't had any connectivity issues with my phone. The garmin apps are well made making this a great product. Lightweight and fits nicely in a binoharness if you carry one of those around.
