On the explore.garmin.com web page go to contacts and add your personal contacts. You can add email and mobile number.
Then when you go to messages, preset messages and edit, you can choose from that list you have created.
Thanks to everyone that answered. I have now set this up properly and tested the SMS sending and it works just fine.
I only purchased this device for the pre-set messages and the SOS function. I feel a bit more comfortable out on the hills alone when l have this with me.
What l did notice, it is best to leave the device on, as it sometimes takes a few minutes to connect to the satellite that could be crucial when needing the SOS urgently.
Thanks Again
