SMS 007 - Encrypt Your SMS Messages
A new SMS encryption service is now available. The service has been developed by CircleTech, s.r.o., a Czech software corporation. The Java (J2ME) application, which can run on majority of current mobile phones, uses encryption standard AES and user-derived keys to securely encrypt the SMS communication between parties which use it.
SMS 007 has been available for Czech customers for almost 5 months, but only very recently has entered the international market. The main distributor for Europe is Nokia Softwaremarket.
Besides encryption of the messages, SMS 007 has also other security features like a hidden contact list, which cannot be seen from the outside without knowledge of the main password - therefore, if someone steals your phone or just gets it in their hands for a while, he/she still cannot read not only your messages, but not even whom are you writing to.
Sounds pretty cool. I’m going to try and get a copy of a trial account to have a play around with it.

Ive seen SMS007 and its not all that. No where near as good as what was showcased lastmonth.
I saw a sample version of a piece of software called Ghost Pigeon at a developers conference last month. Its due for release sometime this year they said. Basically this software is the bees knees and the next big thing to hit the market big time.
The software is completely invisible/hidden. The software has all of the functions your normal phone has, i.e. Images, calls, texts, media, etc but absolutely no one knows its there apart from the user. No icons, no bleeps, no alerts or anything, completely hidden and invisible. The only way to access it is by entering a numeric code on your phones number/dial keys for example they showed me dial *1234* When that code is entered the Hidden Ghost Pigeon Screen popped up and it was amazing, just like a secondary phone within a phone.
but it got better, they gave a demonstration, you won’t believe this……you can store any contact/numbers/names etc you want to in the Hidden software and commuinicate with them without anyone knwing. You can send and receive texts and call etc to a particular contact that’s in your hidden menu, totally untraceable. They can reply back to you and even call you and unless you are in your hidden software at the time there is no alert or anything for that matter on your phone. The best bit is that you can have your phone sat at the table, your wife or husband could pick it up read all your texts and look at your call logs and find nothing, but really there are tons of messages and pictures and calls from the person you hare having an affair with but only you can access your Ghost Pigeon menu and read any texts you have received from your girlfriend/boyfriend on the side.
Its a bit difficult to explain exactly what i saw in depth because there was much more to it than that but it was wicked. Best piece of software on the market, would appeal to everyone, not just cheaters but even business who wanted to protect certain data or best off all celebrities who are fed up of losing their phone with all their celebrity and private numbers in it that get leaked to the press. This is the answers to their prayers. Everything protected and completely hidden.
Software was definitely called Ghost Pigeon (i think) and was supposed to be released sometime this year. Not sure who by or where but remember i saw it first!!
