Fulfills my basic need
on September 23, 2021
Posted by: Adrians
Almost never relays my texts to my phone so I have to read my texts on the inreach mini which is not ideal. I am able to write and send texts on my phone through the app. Sometimes messages are delayed but I expect it.

Great device, horrible user interface
on September 23, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
Have had the mini for a month now, and it now works as advertised,. The setup was a fiasco, having to access multiple sites for the setup is challenging. It seems as though the setup process has been cobbled together over many years and needs to be redesigned from the ground up. Thanks to technical support for getting me through.

Hard to get a signal
on September 23, 2021
Posted by: Wilderness
Over all I'm glad I have it, But sometimes it was extremly hard to get a signal to send and recieve messages. I was in the back country with trees but the trails gave me a clear view of the sky. I would hate be in trouble and not able to move and have no service for help.

Inreach mini

We love it we. My husband travels remotely in Alaska where there is no cell service. We have been able to stay in contact constantly and I can also see his location.

It's not perfect
on September 22, 2021
Posted by: Inreachuser88
I used this in alaska to keep in touch with family while I was hunting. It worked flawlessly messaging some, but others never received my messages. I also had a friend with me and he had an inreach device as well and we were near eachother at all times messaging inreach to inreach and sometimes we did not receive eachothers messages at all...it was a bummer because we were both hoping this would be a great way to let eachother know when we were leaving the hills and heading back to camp....didn't work as well as we hoped. Seemed to work better without the earthmate app, was more reliable. Maybe it's the app that was making it hard for the messages to go through? If so it would be amazing for this to be fixed. I wasn't expecting something perfect, just reliable...and this device was not reliable. Does it work? Yes, definitely...just not 100% of the time. So I will definitely continue using this device to keep in contact with family and or messaging inreach to inreach device while hunting.

Fantastic Device and Service
on September 22, 2021
Posted by: PH01
This thing is great. Garmin is great. You do need a clear view and things can be slightly delayed but it is basically perfect and extremely useful.
