A secure, encrypted voice calling app designed for confidential communication: Silent Phone.

Voice and Video Call Security

Silent Phone offers a unique solution for those in need of secure communication. The app provides encrypted voice and video call facilities, ensuring your conversations remain confidential. As long as all call participants are subscribed to Silent Phone, users can chat securely knowing that their call is end-to-end encrypted, thus preventing any interceptions.

The creators of Silent Phone, Silent Circle, also offer an 'Out-Circle Access' plan that allows you to receive calls from non-subscribers with encryption applied to your end of the call. The standard subscription for Silent Circle Mobile currently costs $9.95 per month, providing access to both Silent Phone and its counterpart, the encrypted messaging app, Silent Text. The Out-Circle Access option is priced at $24.95 per month. An enterprise solution is also available for businesses looking to manage multiple Silent Circle subscriptions for their employees.

Convenient and User-friendly Interface

Silent Phone's interface is well-designed and user-friendly. The toolbar provides easy access to favorites, recent calls, contacts, and the sleek keypad. Once a connection is established, the app provides a notification indicating if the call is secured. It also displays the unique key used for ZRTP peer-to-peer encryption through the app. These keys are disposed of after each call, ensuring each conversation is independently secured.

Silent Phone also provides tips for preventing wire-tapping and features a 'geek mode' that displays all the security processes running in the background to protect your call. The app's call manager makes it simple to control your calls. The conference call interface is notably useful, clearly listing all participants and the security status of the connection. Users can also easily transition from a conference call to a private chat by dragging a name out from the list.

Despite the extensive encryption and compression processes running behind the scenes, Silent Phone delivers exceptional call quality.

A Premium Solution for Secure Communication

While some might find the subscription fees pricy for everyday use, Silent Phone is an invaluable tool for those requiring a secure communication line. For those who prioritize privacy and security in their voice and video calls, Silent Phone delivers an impeccable performance.
