    Garmin Inreach pre-set messages?

    I was looking into the Garmin Inreach plan and the pre-set messages are free to send.

    Can you send them as text messages to your home phone?

    My wife has no cell phone but our home phone receives texts and the nice computer generated voice reads them out.

    Or are the messages sent to an email address.

    Again, my wife doesn't normally use the computer but she knows how to access the email if she has to.

    She really wants me to get an Inreach to reassure her I'm still alive during my solo trips but of course I want the "I'm okay out here" messages to reach her.

    You can send them to either both, or one or the other!

    What I do is give the Login/password for the Roadpost/inreach site to my wife and can see my tracks, and messages can also be sent to email address so if computer is available that is an easy option.
