Garmin Fenix 8 Pro and others get free inReach satellite SOS, with restrictions
· By Endurance Wire
While smartphones such as the Apple iPhone 17 ( $759 on Amazon ) have been offering free satellite SOS features for years, users of a Garmin Fenix 8 Pro, a Quatix 8 Pro or even a dedicated inReach satellite communication device have to take out a paid subscription to be able to use this function. This is now changing, at least partially, as users with a "suspended" inReach subscription can now also access the SOS functions. Until now, pausing a subscription was mainly practical in order to save the activation fee of $39.99 if the subscription was to be continued at some point.
