Wearable4U - Garmin inReach Mini 2 Satellite Communicator (Flame Red) with Power Pack Bundle

Right out the box no instructions no videos no nothing. Set up and was texting and receiving messages with in 40 min. Carry on me while at work 5,6 days a week in mountains heavy tree for any emergencies like wild fires or other kinds. Also while fishing in streams rivers in like conditions or worse. The best fishing holes are always hidden. Stay in touch when needed or to check in for peace of mind say good night on those longer trips a must bye for anyone who always wants to be on top of the situation and one move ahead of the next whatever it is that’s wants to put the hurt on you and yours. I do own the Garmin instinct and. That works seamlessly with the inreach. Paired with your phone getting lost is impossible not being found within 1 day seems believe able enough. If you carry this with you and a life straw you could survive that long if you really wanted to even with very little water. Think about it. Mojo.

Works great used it multiple times in the mountains for hunts and never had an issue

I used this On a trip to back country to let my kids know all was well. They received my message as well as a map showing where I was. Of course the number one instruction is to not need it in an emergency. I have confidence that if I needed help this would be of great help. Only issue I had is the directions assume a lot of knowledge about setup etc which I didn’t have. Seems like the manuals could use more info.

I lived in remote Congo for 9 months and this made such a difference. I was able to keep in touch with my family daily and felt safer with the SOS signaling. Only critique is it runs out of battery pretty quickly and without the app messaging is super difficult.

This device, though a little pricy, is worth every penny. Im able to check weather, send and receive texts, and if necessary, use it for navigating. Plus, SOS button in case of emergency. It will send out my position and call appropriate rescue. Battery lasts for days. Use my cell phone, along with the app to send the messages. If the cell battery goes down it can be used as a stand alone device. Device only was about three ounces and is small. It can easily fit in a pocket. Mainly use it when I go offshore fishing and lose cell service.

Purchased one after seeing my friend's. Used it on a trip a few months ago. My family and friends could see where I was and my progress. It took a little while working through all the menu/screens on it but once you get the hang of it. it's straight-froward. You can use your phone to configure it too. They have varying levels of accounts for their support services and they even allow you to pause it.

Great device got for my fiancé. He is a big hunter so he doesn’t get signal a lot and he absolutely loves it and I feel so much safer knowing he has it out there and when he was out in a couple weeks ago, he messaged me saying he’s OK. He set up camp and I was able to get in contact with him.

My wife spent about 3 weeks on the Continental Divide Trail in New Mexico this spring. With tracking turned on I could see her location on the Garmin Share page every 10 minutes, and was able to notify her several times when she was off track. The Garmin Messenger app on her cell phone allowed her to use the device to send and receive messages fairly promptly, by satellite. Later the Messenger app quit working but she was still able to send check-in message with her location. (The app had to be re-booted and then worked fine - ALWAYS TEST THE FUNCTIONS before starting a long trip.)She had some times of danger while crossing rivers, climbing over rocks, and on steep, slippery trails so knowing she could summon rescue services with the SOS function provided a measure of comfort.
