| TWO-WAY MESSAGING | SEAMLESS CONNECTION | GROUP MESSAGING |
| The simple interface of the Garmin Messenger app makes it easy to exchange text messages with the people who matter to you via satellite or mobile networks using your smartphone. | Optimised inReach messaging uses your smartphone’s mobile network when available and automatically switches to the 100% global Iridium® satellite network when you are outside mobile coverage. | Use your smartphone and the Garmin Messenger app to send group messages. Share your adventures with several contacts at once and hold group conversations with friends and family. |
