Thread: Garmin In Reach

I have had the odd msg to arrive too. It isn't very often tho.
From what I've researched into the matter in the US it is very good but in backwater nz where we do shit different for no good reason it doesn't.
It is to do with the cell companies.
2degrees was the worst by far.
There used to be a feature available that sent a GPS reference point with each message. Unfortunately that ment that the cell providers recognized those a spam an blocked the messages from being received by a nz cell user.
A message from Garmin to nz users came to ensure this feature was disabled so nz cell providers didn't block messages as spam.
So if you haven't disabled this feature it still tries to attach ref point and gets blocked as spam.
This doesn't happen at the user point it's something in the network transition from iridium.
