Garmin InReach data plan basic data fee

*** Due to a change in the dataplan server, initial setups will only be available again from 17 June 2025 ***

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 EXPLORE account first (instructions for backing up old data: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=EQgCLV89re2liuSa5xPoG6). A Garmin CONNECT account is not affected by this.
