How to keep sms texts from family to my iPhone from going to my Garmin InReach?
Post Body

As title states. I have the recreational plan which gives me 40 messages/month not including my preset messages. I did a 6 day section hike of the AZT last week and noticed that all messages I received from my family counted towards my 40. When I send my preset messages they arrive on my parents phone as if sent from my phone number, so that if they send anything back to me within that conversation it replies to my InReach. What can we do that will allow them to simply text my phone only so that it will not count towards my 40 and I can just read it when I have cell service? I don’t want to completely outright block them from messaging my InReach either because I want them to be able to message it if there is an actual emergency/important update they need to get to me before I get to cell service. We each have iPhones if that matters. Thanks!
