I am getting my new inReach Mini set up for a trip next week. I tried two test messages last week and they both worked.
However I sent out 9 text messages yesterday and so far only 2 of them have actually been received by the recipients.
On Earthmate all of the messages show the "sent" symbol. the circle with the cross hatch marks. When I push on that symbol I get the supporting detail, such as time sent, location, etc.
The suggestions in this post also apply to the Mini. The last reported SMS outage was August 25. If neither of those suggestions pans out, I'd call tech support.
Thanks. I read and replied to that post. Here is that reply, to keep this post whole:
I am having the same issue with my inReach mini. The issue started yesterday. I sent messages to 6 different phone numbers and the messages were only delivered to 2 numbers.
All the messages show up as sent in my Inbox tab on My Account. I used the US country code on all numbers.
Of the 4 numbers that did not receive the text, 3 were AT&T and 1 was Verizon. And one of the AT&T numbers had received a text from the inReach mini last week.
I did notice that the last reported outage was August 25. However that status page did not explain how to report an outage. I tried calling tech support but they are not available on weekends.
I am glad this is basically testing and not an emergency. And I guess I'll try to only have emergencies during tech support hours.
I just activated mine today and am having the same problem. The unit appears to send email to email accounts but does not text sms to any phone I have tried.
I am a missionary pilot in Mexico flying in some very remote places and I have been having the same problem. My messages are marked as sent but my wife gets them hours after I sent them if at all.
