Although advertised by Garmin as having SMS capability SailCom
Marine do not recommend using SMS as a method of communication with the Garmin
Explorer. This is because Iridium does not have have agreements in place with
all mobile network providers. Therefore SMS sending and receiving can be
unreliable. It is better to use email messaging which is far more reliable.
