FAQ's

 1. When do I choose and activate my inReach Mini 2 service plan?

You do this online with Garmin as you register and set up your inReach Satellite Communicator.

2. How much is the contract for the Garmin inReach Mini 2?

Garmin has various options available, you can view those online here.

The video below explains the different consumer subscriptions that are available:

3. Can you put your Garmin inReach account on hold or stop it for a period?

There are a number of options to do this – 

 - inReach Enabled – This you can select as long as you have had a full subscription for one month or more.

This then costs - £7.99 per month and you get –

Unlimited SOS and messaging with Garmin Response

£0.10 per check-in message or reaction

£0.10 per tracking point

£0.50 per text message or weather forecast

inReach Enabled is nicely buried away, so once you have your inReach product from GPS Training please get in touch with us and we can talk you through activating this option.

      - Cancel your plan – If you do this you then have to pay for the Activation fee again - £39.99 and if you wanted to go on the inReach enables (as above) you would then have to pay at least 1 month full price before going onto inReach Enabled.

Therefore if you are not going to use your unit for x 7 months or more this is a cheaper option than going onto inReach Enabled.
