Changing an inReach Device Address

Your inReach® device address is automatically generated by the email address used when initially creating your inReach account. For more information, see Related at the bottom of the page.

When you change the email address within your account using the steps below, the inReach address may also change as a result. Confirm that all of your inReach contacts have your correct inReach device address.

Due to this and the inReach Consumer Terms and Conditions, it is not recommended to allow others to change your inReach account information when lending out your inReach device. For more information, see -  Borrowing or Lending Out an inReach Handheld

NOTE: You can only change your account email address to an email that is not already in the inReach system.
