Encrypted SMS App Answers Mobile Privacy Concerns

SafeBox announced that it reached a new milestone of 650,000 users and is on target for one million users of its innovative mobile privacy application by Q2'11.

The SafeBox application helps everyonekeep their sensitivetext messages invisible to anyone who snoops through their phone behind their back.

SMS is particularly popular in Europe, Asia, United States, Australia and New Zealand. The popularity of SMS has grown to the extent that the termtextinghas entered the common lexicon. But while every day, millions of people around the world, of all age, social status, technical ability and languages, type passionately on their mobile phone, sensitive text messages remain 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 keep for their eyes only.

The private SMS mobile application 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 on target forour first million users thanks to strong partnerships with application stores, mobile operators and content providers worldwide.” said Philippe Joly, CEO, SafeBox

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 10 languages and can be downloaded from the safebox.mobi website as well as from the majority of leading app stores worldwide, including the Optus App store in Austalia.
