Verizon Wireless Forwarding Calls And Text Messages

Very happy with my Instinct.....except it has stopped receiving incoming text messages/phone calls. I have spent hours trying to get these notifications back, watched videos and I need some help!

I had a Garmin InReach Explorer SE that was great, but I wanted to go with the InReach Mini 2 to cut some weight and space in my pack. It has been great to contact my wife every night on the trail when I am beyond cell phone range and switch to the Mini 2 for text messages. A lot of great features besides the text messages too.

I use this mini tripod for my iPhone in my desk. It is extrenely useful for straightup reading the text messages and for facetime.

Very glad I bought it my car doesn’t read text messages or notifications but my Garmin does along with easy to use.

Enjoying the fitness prompts, getting notifications on my wrist of messages and calls, and so much more. Wasn't as hard as I feared to learn how to use, and you can design your own watch face (I have mine rotating photos of my grandchildren). I was intimidated for a long time about whether it would be a good fit for me. It is!!

these headphones freed up my hands and make it easier to work, run, workout, and take calls answer messages and listen to music.

First off, this is a very expensive item that’s an accessory and debatable whether or not you need it for the small convenience it provides. With that being said, it’s a very well made product, works as you would expect from any Apple product. I’ve found it convenient to have messages and calls on my wrist without needing to take my phone out of my pocket. I also spend less time on my phone since it’s not in my hands. One feature I found helpful that I didn’t know the watch had is the ability to take a picture from your phone but clicking the button to take the picture from your watch. This seems like something I’ll end up using more than I would’ve imagined because now you can set your phone up and back up to take a picture rather than holding it as far from your face or body as possible. It’s also very convenient to reply to text messages by using the voice to text feature right on the watch and hitting send. Not having to take your phone out and hold it makes responding while driving or just keeping your hands free is nice. I also have an August home door lock which unlocks from my phone anywhere I have internet and there’s a watch app for this. It’s nice having this on my wrist as well. I’m still learning about it and there’s some great features and conveniences and a lot I’ll never use. If I didn’t like the message and calls and the ability to have LTE to it I’d say go with the WiFi only, but the cellular connection is where I find myself realizing the biggest benefits. I also went with the stainless steel over the aluminum because of the durability. If you have Apple care you can turn it in on a claim, but you only get 2 in 2 years so you have to keep that in mind. But to keep the price down I wouldn’t have too much of an issue getting the aluminum and just getting a case for it. I like that it can go in the water so if you’re swimming, in the ocean, or even in the shower you’ll always have access to your phone and messages.

Worked great. We will be forwarding them on to a different country for the next eclipse.
