Messenger Plus is Great !
on October 15, 2024
Posted by: Vinnie the K
I’ve owned MANY Satellite Communications devices in the last 10 years: Spot sat com products (spot 3, spot x), and a number of INREACH sat comm products- explorer+, 750i, mini 2, messenger, and now the messenger plus.
I like it!
I gave input years ago to Garmin that I’d be interested in a sat comm device that sends pictures and voice memos. You listened! THANK YOU!
I’ve basically been downsizing my devices and just bought my MESSENGER in May. When MESSENGER PLUS was released and I saw the functionality you built in- plus allow longer text messages- I bought it. I may be the first purchaser! It works great. While I do not plan to use it a lot, it’s good to have the functionality when I am off the grid- including SOS use if needed.
However- you DO need to Make sure receivers of your pics and voice messages have the Explorer software their phones- which is an annoyance. It would be great if Garmin could update the system so anyone can receive the messages!
And, reducing the monthly price of premium service would be great too. In Technology, costs come down over time. Cell service is one example. Why not iridium?
Thanks again for a solid device for off the grid tracking and communicating!
