"Voice is the last unsecured data service."

Mobile phone radio signals can be intercepted using equipment available on the internet for <$1000. Base stations have been wiretapped. The FINANCIAL TIMES in its 12/06 issue writes about the ?51m fine charged on Vodafone:"Vodafone fined for failing to protect its network from [phone] hackers". Some phone hacking scandals from the recent past: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_of_the_World_phone_hacking_affair
From THE MERCURY NEWS (mercurynews.com) 02/07 issue::
"Its very easy for anyone to wiretap... They could wiretap all the VoIP phones in your building"
The majority of interception events go unreported (because they are successful).
With Cellcrypt, calls can easily be protected on popular mobile phones - and extended to secure landlines.
Cellcrypt Mobile™ is an easy-to-use, next generation software solution that runs on standard mobile phones and uses the data channel to serve up unparalleled voice quality, low voice delays (latency), global coverage and intercontinental call capability - all delivered securely. Cellcrypt is a privately-held, venture-backed company with headquarters in London, UK and offices in the USA and the Middle East.
The basis of the development is the EMCP(Encrypted Mobile Content Protocol) platform, which involves several -widely accepted and certified- encryption algorithms (RSA2048 & DH2048, AES256, RC256, SHA512, MD5). As a result, you can perform phone calls with maximum voice quality and minimum latency even on low-band networks. Voice is often clearer than at regular calls. Cellcrypt has the highest Level-4 FIPS 140-2 accreditation required for encryption modules by the US government.
The software is delivered to standard smart phones in the form of a self-installing text message which you receive within 48 hours from your order. Installation is simple, the installation wizard leads the user through each step. Identification is based on the device IMEI number, the SIM card is irrelevant. So you can change phone number any time.
Encryption is performed only by each client to ensure end-to-end security. Data flows through the internet. The software works on any network - 2G, 3G, Edge, Wi-Fi. Communication is completely free of charge in a Wi-Fi environment. When roaming abroad communication is almost free. At the London headquarters (www.cellcrypt.com) the Cellcrypt Central Switch Server connects trusted Cellcrypt Mobile applications and routes calls. However, if required, it is possible to install a private server at the premises determined by the customer, so your network may work completely independently as an isolated system. To make the call secure both partners need to have the software installed on their devices.
It is not necessary to change your phone to perform a secure call if you own one of the supported devices, that is some Nokia "E" or "N" phones or a BlackBerry. You just need to install the software on your device and it operates seamlessly in 200+ countries world-wide.
We offer 1, 3 or 5 years licences, through which you have the software for the above periods, regardless of lost or faulty devices. In these cases you receive the software for the new phone and it is denied on the lost or damaged one. In addition, you receive any software upgrades free during the subscription period.
A most intuitive user experience - as simple as a normal call.
