If you’re venturing off the grid, this small, rugged satellite communicator goes beyond the limits of cellular networks to keep friends and family in reach with two-way text messaging.
Two-Way Messaging - A simple user interface through the Garmin Messenger app on your smartphone makes it easy to exchange text messages with loved ones via satellite or cellular networks.

On-Device Display - Use the screen to confirm that messages have been sent, send messages and read responses, even when your phone battery dies.
Check-In Messages - Send simple check-in messages that do not count toward your allotted text messages.
Sync your Contacts - Easily find your contacts with the Garmin Messenger app and your compatible smartphone.
