Location Sharing

Share your location with loved ones back home anytime by using your MapShare page or with your GPS coordinates embedded in your messages.

Flexible Satellite Airtime Plans

To access the global Iridium network and communicate with your inReach Messenger device, an active satellite subscription is required. You can opt for an annual package or a flexible month-to-month plan.
