Thread: Inreach Messages not sending due to spam blocking government?

The message is then passed from Land Earth Station into the terrestrial phone network and handled like a normal text. Some info is passed to Garmin as regards tracking the mobiles position etc but mostly its all automatic

@mikee this looks like it holds the best merit. How do you know which satellites you are sending to? Is there a setting on them that you can chose which you want to send to?
Thanks
