I have an InReach SE and love it.

2 way com is pretty nice.

Can the InReach mini be used as a stand alone device incase your phone gets damaged? Does it have a keyboard or some other way to input?

Scroll about a third of the way down and you'll see how it works. Basically, canned messages aren't too bad to send, but hacking out a custom message through the mini is a chore. To be fair, it's not much fun with an Explorer+, but it's a little less tedious.

An SOS message works through a dedicated button on the mini, of course.

I own a Garmin Explorer+ and prefer it to the mini, but both have advantages over each other.
