Garmin InReach data plans

Flexible data plans for InReach



 Usable for all device versions InReach | GPSMAP | Montana | TREAD  

To activate the devices with InReach module, you need a data contract for the connection & communication to the Iridium satellite network. Data packages are billed monthly in advance by SEPA direct debit or credit card. Data consumption in excess of the respective inclusive volume ("overage") is billed retrospectively.


There is a choice of flat-rate and byte-based data plans, each of which can be deactivated daily free of charge. All we need for setup is the IMEI device number and the AuthCode, both of which appear when the device is switched on and the activation procedure is started. No SIM card is required. When you order the basic data plan, we will send you the access data for your accounts at

  • explore.garmin.com (management of tracks, contacts and preset/check-in messages as well as MapShare)
    as well as for all the Garmin Apps (Explore / Messenger / Tread)
  • protegear.io (tariff management, LiveTracking, Globalmail, chats, emergency contacts and SmartSafety if applicable).
