 I don't have a fitbit but my wife has an Inspire 2.  I want to upgrade hers, to a model that supports send/receive text or imessages from iOS iphones.  Not so much SENDING messages, but she frequently roams about the house without her phone when text messages arrive.  Prefer this feature not require a subscription. Do all current models support this, at least with quick replies?

Hi @gliebisch your wife would still need to be within range - 25 feet or so - to get those texts. I have the Inspire 3 and use Android. If I'm in the far end of the house, I don't get notice of a text. iOS doesn't have the ability to send quick replies, only the Android format. I don't have Premium.

So it appears that fit bit only supports Bluetooth and not wi-fi to deliver messages. I found old posts suggesting wi-fi be added, but I guess the iOS is locked up too tight to allow this.  Even just a notification that you HAVE a message waiting would be nice.

When I'm out of range, it doesn't show I've received a call or a text.
