Does the inReach Two-Way Satellite communication work in every country?
inReach devices operate on the Iridium satellite network, which provides 100% global coverage. However, some countries require prior permission for the authorized use of a satellite communication device and some countries have banned the use of satellite communications devices. In addition, United States embargoes prohibit providing satellite communications products and services in some countries.
The list below provides our best understanding of countries that may regulate or prohibit the use of a satellite communicator or are on a list of U.S. embargoed countries:
- Taliban controlled Afghanistan
- Crimea region of the Ukraine
- Cuba
- Georgia (SMS)
- India
- Iran
- North Korea
- Myanmar
- Sudan
- Syria
- Thailand
- Vietnam
- China
- Russia
*Regulations and the list above may change without notice. It is important to review the restrictions for satellite communicators for any country you may be travelling to in order to avoid issues for using or carrying an inReach satellite communication device. Your travel destination may have recently changed its laws or policies for various reasons. The US State Department has a list of foreign embassies and consulates that you can contact for more information.
NOTE: SMS messages to Telecom Personal Argentina or Georgia (country) subscribers cannot be delivered as there is currently no route available to this carrier through our international SMS delivery partner. Ghana does not currently have SMS messaging. Currently, there is also an issue with inReach messages being received by SMS phone numbers in Mexico and Romania. For more details, see - inReach Messages Not Received by SMS Phone Numbers in Mexico and inReach Messages Not Received by SMS Phone Numbers in Romania
