we attempted to transmitt pict via new messenger plus, but this seems to be possible only to other messenger plus account. It can not be sent to email.

Is this so or did we miss something?

    No, you didn´t miss anything.

    inReach® satellite communicators make it easy to send text messages from remote areas of the world by connecting to the Iridium satellite network, which provides 100% global coverage. When used with the Garmin MessengerTm app, the inReach Messenger Plus adds the ability to also send and receive photo and voice messages with other Garmin Messenger app users over the Iridium satellite network.1 If you send a message to someone who does not have the Garmin Messenger app, they will receive an invite to the app so that they can view the message.

    Photo and voice messages cannot be sent to email, inReach, or social addresses.

    >>If you send a message to someone who does not have the Garmin Messenger app, they will receive an invite to the app so that they can view the message.<<

    so how should we deliver this kind of invitation to someone who has not messenger?

    There seem to be only possible to  address messenger accounts?

    edit:

    we thought a traveller could send some media information to his supervisor in the office somehow. Such supevisor certainly not have a messenger on his desk, he will have computer and phone

    One don´t need a messenger, only the app. If you sent a pic to a phone number and the receipient has not the messenger app, he/she will get an sms " You have been sent a photo. Download the messenger app to view the photo" (incl. an app download link) (same for voice message).

    Btw: there are up to1600 character messages possible with M+/Messenger app. If you sent a 1600 message for example to a mini 2 address, the message is splitted into11 parts for the mini 2 receipient (and each counts against his contingent or bill) and it will take time until all 11 parts have been received.

    yep, we found this

    meaning rather useless system for professional use. In professional world, there will be no recipient able to install anything on his phone, (.gov phones) so it is all just for fun use

    for real use, we would need the links to be delivered by other means as well, not only to garmin highjacked phones

    we thought, we might be able to deliver some data from the field by this like we did earlier with thuraya phones etc

    OK , it was just short dream

    I wake up this thread

    I am brainstorming on this subject. What would be needed to get messages and forward them to some 'normal' destination?

    OK, currently, the only recipient can be a highjacked phone which is unusable as .gov phones can not be used this way..

    What would it need to have a destination phone and kind of forward messages to normal communication channels?
