For my use cases, this unit is perfect. It's better than my ACR PLB because I can text with the "rescuers". And it performs well enough standalone without a phone should my phone die. Tested with communicating with Apple and Android devices and it works. Battery life is good. NOTE: tell your contacts to watch for texts from numbers they are not familiar with.

I sold my Messenger, seems like every time I went to use it I had to re-connect it to my phone. I replaced it with 67i

I bought this for mission trips into Haiti. The advertised battery life of 28 days was never, there. My unit lost 15_20% per day. Because of the unrest I had to charge it every other day.,

I purchased the inReach just before a Canada fishing trip where we're out of connectivity range. The setup is straightforward. Once I dotted the I's and crossed the T's, the device worked perfectly. Evenings at fish camp I turned on the inReach and turned on the phone and the connections just sort of happened. In no time I was texting with my wife. Wait times were barely noticeable. Everything worked as described by Garmin. The unit is easy to use and affordable. Five stars.

It’s taking me some practice to learn the features like track back. My quick messages didn’t go through, but probably something I did wrong in setup. I like being able to see my route & milage on my URL.

I have the inReach Messenger and should've got the inReach Mini 2. I brought this about 5 months ago. I "tired" to used it for my thur-hike last week. Messages would go through and I couldn't get them. I watch the tutorials on how to use it and nothing. It is what it is! I will be trying to sale it soon.

I've used this so far on two cycling trips. each time it allowed me to stay in communication with my friends and family even when well outside of cell service, and knowing that I could get help if needed, even in the worst of circumstances, give me the confidence to stay out longer and be more adventurous. I had no issues with phone connection so far, and the flexibility to turn my subscription on and off is great too.

Even with increasing apple satellite messaging abilities I think a dedicated messenger is great to have. Light and has a long battery life. I like that you can use it to charge other devices in a pinch. I understand why some are critical of this but the ability to charge a headlamp or phone when needed can be just as crucial as having an inreach and the battery life is long enough to do both. The cost of garmin plans have come down but is still a bummer

inReach Messenger is a great little tool to keep in your bag at all times! Works great in all areas; Ive used mine in deep backcountry and still able to send/receive messages. Sleek design, lightweight, and holds a long charge. Easy to use, especially if you link it to your phone.
