Thread: Trouble sending SMS via InReach - Anyone else?

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues with trying to send SMS messages via their InReach/InReach Mini?

My device (mini) is all up to date with the latest firmware and its been sync'd via one of the many unadvertised websites that Garmin expect you to know about, however while it will send to an email address it's not sending texts to a phone number. Garmin keep telling me to reset the device however what I've noticed is the messages actually do leave the device and can be seen on the InReach message page on the internet, but there appears to be a disconnect between the Garmin server and the NZ cellular network. So what have we done to our network in the last 3 months? Anyone know?

My bitch-on for Garmin is getting stronger by the minute.

I note on another hard-to-find-page that several countries (20+) around the world appear to be incompatible with the Garmin SMS service so if you're expecting to arrange an air-drop of beers in Thailand or a case of tequila in Mexico then you're going to be disappointed. Seems they might need to now add NZ to that list of third-world countries where they don't work.
