How to Deactivate Your Garmin Subscription and Activate Service with EVERYWHERE

A device can only be active on one platform at a time. This step frees up the device so we can set it up on EVERYWHERE. This is a normal part of onboarding when you transfer devices over from Garmin.

Before you start

Have these details handy. You will need them to deactivate with Garmin, and your EVERYWHERE onboarding contact will need the IMEI to activate the device on our side.

  • The email address the device is activated under
  • The billing address for the credit card on the Garmin account
  • The IMEI number of the device

Option 1: Deactivate online through Garmin Explore

This is the fastest way if you can log in to the Garmin account.

  1. Log in to the Garmin Explore website.
  2. Select Plans & Devices. On a mobile device, touch the two-line menu icon in the top left corner to find it.
  3. Select Edit under Subscription.
  4. Select Cancel Service. On Garmin's site, deactivating shows up as "Cancel Service," so you are in the right place.
  5. Review the details, then select Cancel Service to confirm.

Can't log in? Reset your password at garmin.com/account. If you still cannot get into the account, deactivate by email using Option 3 below.


Option 2: Deactivate by phone

Call inReach support at (877) 880-1335 and ask to cancel the service on the device. Have your account details ready so the team can find the subscription.


Option 3: Deactivate by email

Send a request to professional.billing@garmin.com. Include this information so the team can process it:

  • The email address the device is activated under
  • The billing address for the credit card on the account
  • The IMEI number of the device

"How Do I Find the IMEI on My Device?"

Turn on the device and navigate to the Settings or Setup menu. Select About This Device or About, and the IMEI and Authorization Code will display on the screen.

 For a step-by-step breakdown based on your specific Garmin model:

  • Garmin inReach SE+ or Explorer+: Go to Settings > About This Device.
  • Garmin inReach Mini / Mini 2: From the main menu, select Setup > About This Device.
  • Garmin GPSMAP (e.g., 66/86 series): Select Setup > About.
  • Brand New/Unactivated: When you power on the device for the first time, you can also press the Next button on the welcome screen to find the IMEI.
  • Original Packaging: You can often find the IMEI printed on a barcode label on the physical box your device came in.

Once Garmin confirms the device is deactivated, let your EVERYWHERE onboarding contact know and share the device IMEI. We will activate the device on EVERYWHERE and walk you through setup using the Transferred Device Setup Tutorial.
