SafeBox.mobi Privacy App Surpasses Half A Million Users Milestone

Online, December 22, 2010 (Newswire.com) - SafeBox, the Irish company behind the popular mobile privacy application SafeBox.mobi for Java, Symbian and BlackBerry devices announced that more than half a million users have downloaded SafeBox since the launch in April. SafeBox owes its explosive growth to its user-friendly approach to mobile privacy with an easy way to send and receive private SMS, encrypt text messages, create a private list of contacts and store confidential notes, making the content of the SafeBox invisible to anyone snooping inside the mobile phone behind the owner's back.

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 half a million users in such a short period of time." said Philippe Joly, CEO, SafeBox Ltd. "These numbers will continue to grow fast as we have rolled out our worldwide distribution strategy through a strong network of mobile operators and content providers."

SafeBox has become a must-have application for mobile users, increasingly concerned about the privacy. The application 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 current version of SafeBox is available in ten different languages and has users in more than 50 countries. Each day, thousands of users download the application wirelessly from the safebox.mobi website or from one of the many app stores where the application is available including GetJar, Handango, CNET download.com, PocketGear, Handster and more.
