beware Garmin satellite subscriptions

[Chief Sapulpa]

I bought a Garmin InReach Explorer GPS with satellite text communication capability.
I order to use the satellite service I had to sign a subscription contract. After two weeks of use I decided to return the unit because the display was so small I needed reading glasses to read it; a real PITA in the field.
After returning the device I called to cancel the satellite subscription. Garmin says no cancellations however, they would take a $110 early cancelation fee. Not happy about that!
So sorry, but I did agree to a contract...so beware if signing a contract with Garmin.

They understood that you returned the unit, and that you no longer had a use for the subscription?

That's absolute crap if they did, I think I would scream and ***** until they decided to do the right thing.

Might be worth getting on their website and click contact/customer support etc...

Yes I spoke with Garmin InReach customer support and they understood that I no longer had the unit.
Since the subscription was paid for by credit card I will call them to discuss.
Yup, it's absolute crap on Garmin's part.
