If you own a smartphone, then chances are that the device has become so indispensable that you would feel lost without it. Because your whole life revolves around the smart gadget, it is safe to assume that you tend to store a lot of information on it. Little do you know that from email addresses and phone numbers to personal photos and appointments, all that information along with everything you do on your smartphone is at risk of being snooped into by hackers and governmental agencies.

FreedomPop offers you a chance to get your privacy back

Governed by the principle that privacy is a right not a privilege, FreedomPop announces its first and, according to them, only smartphone and mobile service that allows encrypted communications. Also dubbed the ‘Snowden Phone’, the device is a Samsung Galaxy S2 that costs $189, no contract. For the price of almost $200, you will gain access to three months of unlimited voice and text messages and 500 MB of data. If you want to continue enjoying privacy after this period, you can do so for a $10 monthly fee.

As far as the privacy features are concerned…

FreedomPop ensures that both the voice and text messages are locked down with a 128-bit encryption, while the internet data is sent through a secure and encrypted VPN. While the encryption is indeed a desirable security feature for users concerned about their data, the encrypted wireless communication is not something new. After all, don’t forget that emails sent through BlackBerry Enterprise Servers are encrypted.

If you feel the measures are not enough to guard your privacy, then FreedomPop also allows you to change your phone number anytime you want. Moreover, if you want to further protect your identity, FreedomPop will even allow you to pay for the phone via Bitcoin.

To whom would this smartphone appeal to?

Considering that the mobile service operates with the same proven encryption trusted by banks and government agencies, I believe it’s safe to assume that this is the right phone for anyone interested in running a successful criminal organization. In the light of these facts, it is only natural to ask yourself how this unparallelled privacy can be used.

Does it appeal to the patriots who grew tired of the privacy violations from social networks and secret government agencies? Will it be used by unscrupulous individuals who are trying to hide from the watchful eye of the law? This is the time to remember Uncle Ben’s words of wisdom: with great power comes great responsibility!
