QuestionCan I use this to text friends/family on their cell phones when I am in an area that does not have cell service?
Asked 7 years ago by Kim.
- Answer Yes. You can send and receive custom messages to contacts through the garmin earthmate app or via the device itself. You can also send preset messages from the device that do not count against your monthly limits. When you set you subscription, you can determine what level of service you need/want.

QuestionDo you have to subscribe to a plan for this to work? If I didn’t subscribe, what could it do?
Asked 5 years ago by Jack.
- Answer You don't have to have a subscription for the gps to work but without a subscription the SOS rescue feature, the communication by text, the tracking and location features won't work so what's the point in getting an InReach. If you want something you can navigate with that actually has a usable map without any of the rescue or communication features get an Oregon or other GPS. You can get a monthly subscription and only pay for the months you'll be in back country out of cell range. The subscription is cheap insurance you'll be found or can get help if you get in a jam off the grid.
