I bought this for a few upcoming trips I have, hopefully I don’t have to use the SOS feature, but it’s very nice that I can message anyone i need anywhere in the world.
So far, so good. I set it up and got my monthly service. I went on a hike and was able to message my wife. She was impressed that it showed my exact location. I will take on my next trip. I have been putting off getting a satellite communicator. After seeing a rattlesnake on the trail on a hike last year and having no cell service, I knew it was time to get one.
I purchased 2 messengers for a remote trip to Canada to allow communication between two boats and loved ones back home. Each messenger had a separate account, and each had the unlimited plan. The app worked well via cell phone, and we did not to use the interface within the Garmin device since it was not necessary. It would be nice to allow/assign additional users versus primary/paired on the account so other members in the remote area within range of the Garmin device can send messages via their phones/messenger app. In our case we had two persons per boat so assigning one additional user to each account would improve flexibility. Great feature is the ability to cancel the monthly subscription when the device is not needed.
To be fair, I only bought this because we planned and executed a family trip in Big Bend National Park. I was traveling with my wife, kids and grandkids. I knew that there would be no cell service and didn't want to risk an accident or animal encounter without access to some kind of SOS communication. Fortunately, I never needed the SOS but was greatly relieved that I had access to it through my Garmin messenger's 24/7 response feature which included the ability to define our emergency should we have one.
I love that I can use the garmin to charge my phone, simple satellite communicator.
I bought this for an AZ mountainous motorcycle trip. I use my phone, mounted on the bike, for navigation. There's a risk of going off a cliff and getting separated from my bike. I didn't realize that a link to my phone was necessary for emergency communications I've returned it and hoping that the inReach Mini is what I want. I gave 4 stars because - perhaps - this could have been made clear to me before my online purchase. Otherwise it likely is a wonderful device.
I carry this on backcountry or offgrid situations and have not needed it for an emergency but have used it for text communications paired to my phone. Has worked every time, no issues. What else is there to say for a product like this? It works when it needs to.
Worked great for my western hunts, and back country snow boarding. Easy and quick for check in messages. Being able to type on your phone makes it nice to have actual conversations. I never go into the backcountry without it now.
I actually purchased this a year ago to go on my trip through South America and also for flying my powered parachute for safety. Well it's been a year and I am finally using it. I charged it up and had it sitting around the house for about a month and the battery still had a ton of juice left in it. I started my trip and had it on while on the plane from Seattle to Medellin, Colombia and it tracked me all the way there which was awesome! Now that I am in town it has tracked all over where I have walked and taken the metro. It's awesome for family members to see where I am for mine and their security.

I bought this to replace my SPOTX which died after many years of use. The SPOT is MUCH more user friendly. One webpage for all user interaction. Map, tracking, billing etc etc. While the Garmin actually seems to work better as it has a better say system, it is clunkier to get around in. SPOT assigns a unique number to you unit that is used for texting etc. Garmin does not. You have to go through a user portal for texting or respond within ten minutes of receiving a text. I have 2 apps installed om my phone and one on my wife's. also 3 apps on my desktop. It doesn't have to be this hard. It took me over a week to get everything figured out. Now that I am "on board" it works well.
