Transition from Annual plan to Monthly plan after expiration date

4138188 6 days ago

I’m currently on an annual contract plan that expires on June 8. Since annual plans are being phased out, I’d like to switch to the Basic InReach Enabled monthly plan after that date.
Is it possible to select this plan now so that my account transitions to it automatically on June 8? Or would the change take effect immediately and would I be charged the monthly fee right away, even though I still paid until June 8 for my annual contract plan? Or would I be reimbursed for the remaining fraction of the annual plan?

According to the FAQ at https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=nVmBNWZg1v3zNcPXlBnlI8 you can change to the new plans at any time. No cancellation fee or activation fee applies.

The change is immediate and the the amount you have prepaid for your current month is pro-rated with the pre-payment for the new plan. See https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=akr0Vb7Mje1ZVAwEIIsPUA for more details.

Annual plans are not being "phased out."

Existing customers with inReach Annual Contract subscription plans will not be migrated into new plans and can remain in their current plan tier unless they choose to change it. Annual Contract subscribers are no longer able to move up or down within the old Annual Contract plan tiers, but may change to one of our new plan options at any time.

There are no early cancellation fees if you choose to change to a new plan, and no additional activation fees for changing to a new plan, but you will not be able to return to your previous plan once it has been changed.

When changing to any of the new plans (Enabled, Essential, Standard, or Premium) the change is effective immediately.
