Garmin InReach Activation Issue

[MontanaMountainMan616]

I recently purchased a Garmin InReach Messenger off of Ebay (might have been my first mistake). The inreach was never deactivated from the previous owner meaning that I cannot associate it with my account. I have called Garmin and they are not able to deactivate it and I have reached out via the inreach email on the device with no answer. Does anyone know any work arounds that I could deactivate this device? I have also factory reset it, but that does not disassociate the device with a garmin account. Thanks for any ideas, if there is none I think I will return it too ebay.

Only the account holder can deactivate the account. Contact the seller and ask him to deactivate the account associated with the device. If he can't/won't, return it.
