Very simple and user friendly

I had this unit in very remote places in Idaho with zero complaints. At times it took longer to send a message with clear sky views than others. At times it sent messages instantly under poor sky views. All in and all worked fantastic!

I need a beginners class on how to use it. Thought I knew how to send a message but nope. Couldn’t figure it out.

I'm linking a section from the owner's manual on how to send text messages from the inReach Mini 2. I'd also recommend contacting our inReach support team and they can help get you on track with utilizing the inReach to its expectations. You can reach them Monday through Friday 7a-7p CST at 800-800-1020, option 4, option 4.

Works When You Need It

I love this satellite phone! It is small and I keep it on my belt loop. It sends out texts & emails fast. I am always in touch with civilization, even when cell service is down (hacks, emergencies, natural disasters).

I had a Spot X for 8 years and luckily never used it. It was time for a new one so I went with the Mini 2. I like the size, features and ease of use. Reccomended.

Not that great

Considering other options that also provide cell (and satellite) options to both call and push-talk walkie-talkie, and those other options are less expensive and without a high use fee... I wouldn't have purchased. Do your own due diligence ( unlike myself)

Have not had a chance to use it in the field. But initial set up was very easy.

It did exactly what it was supposed to do. My wife could check my progress during my entire trip and it provided here with peace of mind. Worth every penny.

A great additional tool to have in my pocket in the backcountry or just traveling in areas where there is zero to limited service. There are a few areas that it doesn’t work, but I haven’t encountered very many. This is what you need for emergency backup communication.
