A new App to change the way we send and receive SMS

SafeBox continues its evolution by reaching a new milestone of 250,000 users in just a few months after launching its innovative mobile privacy application in April 2010, to help everyonekeep their sensitivetext messages invisible to anyone who goes through their phone.

Millions of people around the world, of all ages, social status, technical ability and languages, text passionately on their mobile phone and leave their sensitive text messages openly stored on their mobile phone, for their curious friends, nosy colleagues, jealous spouse and many others to see.

The SafeBox App was developed to make unwanted mobile phone spying a thing of the past as users can choose which text messages or contacts they want to make invisible to anyone who may be snooping through their phone.

SafeBox is a private SMS mobile application that allows its users to easily send and receive private SMS within a private circle of contacts. The entire content of the SafeBox is stored in a PIN-protected space of the phone, and is inaccessible to prying eyes without knowledge of the PIN.

“We are delighted to see that our mobile privacy App has already attracted more than a quarter of a million users.” said Philippe Joly, CEO, SafeBox “These numbers will continue to grow fast as we have rolled out in August our worldwide distribution strategy through a strong network of mobile operators and content providers, already live in France, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, UK, USA and more on our roadmap before the end of this year.”

SafeBox mirrors the standard SMS behaviour of the phones which makes it intuitive and simple to use for everyone and doesn’t require any technical knowledge. The application is available in 7 languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian and Italian) and is free to download from the safebox.mobi website, which can be accessed from the web or directly from the mobile phone browser.

The SafeBox application can also be downloaded from the majority of leading app stores worldwide, including the Optus App store in Austalia.
