inReach Features

WARNING

Messaging, tracking, and SOS functions require an active

satellite subscription. Always test your device before you use it

outdoors.

Ensure you have a clear view of the sky when using the

messaging, tracking, and SOS functions, because these

features require satellite access to operate properly.

To get the most out of your Montana 700i/750i device, you

should activate it. Activating the device allows you to use

inReach features, including messaging, SOS, tracking, and

inReach Weather.

Messages

Your Montana 700i/750i device sends and receives text
