Garmin InReach data plan basic data fee

Order for initial setup and activation of the basic plan (basic annual fee) for a GARMIN InReach device: € 49 per year (equivalent to 365 days from activation date), includes access to explore.garmin.com and protegear.io

The active data plans required for communication with the iridium satellite network (e.g. SAFETY, TRACKING, ...) can then be changed and activated or deactivated at any time via your protegear.io account. The active data plans are billed monthly by SEPA direct debit or credit card for up to 30 consecutive days and any overage fees. A minimum turnover of € 10 is charged per year for active data plans. Unused units from a 30-day period cannot be carried over to the next billing period.

Please log in to your Garmin account (explore.garmin.com) and your IMEI only after we have confirmed the setup by email ("[FIRST STEPS] Welcome to protegear.io").

• explore.garmin.com (management of tracks, contacts and preset/check-in messages as well as MapShare) incl. all Garmin services and the SOS rescue control center Garmin Response (previously "GEOS")
• Smartphone apps: Garmin EarthMate / Garmin Explore or Garmin Messenger
• protegear.io (tariff management, LiveTracking, Globalmail, chats, emergency contacts and SmartSafety if applicable).
  
  
  "I currently have a subscription to Garmin InReach. Do I need to cancel it before I can subscribe to your plan?"
  Yes, you must first cancel your Garmin data plan. If you already have a Garmin EXPLORE account and would like to continue using the same email address, please delete the Garmin account first (instructions for backing up old data: EXPLORE Account https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=EQgCLV89re2l... / CONNECT Account: Export: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=W1TvTPW8JZ6L... )
  Alternatively, please let us know another email address that does not yet have a GARMIN account.
• For existing Garmin accounts with a current Navionics, Aviation, OutDoorMaps+ , Connect+ subscriptions or SAR memberships:
  We recommend that you use a different email address for your new ProteGear InReach dataplan, as it will take some time to merge the above services with the same account. Connect+ and SAR subscriptions must currently be processed through a different Garmin account (different email address) due to technical limitations within the Garmin system.
