PRESS RELEASE

London, UK " 9th February 2010: In response to the recent concerns regarding mobile call security, Cellcrypt (www.cellcrypt.com) has today launched a Wi-Fi' version of its secure mobile voice calling application that is free to BlackBerry' smartphones users for 90 days.

Aimed at corporate and government employees, this offer provides a quick and easy 'rapid response' solution for senior executives who have become increasingly concerned about the risk of mobile voice call interception " especially when travelling abroad " following recent news of advances in mobile phone call hacking.

With Cellcrypt, a travelling executive can use their BlackBerry smartphone to make calls over a Wi-Fi network to another Cellcrypt user anywhere in the world and be assured in the knowledge that the content of their call is protected to government-level standards.

A recent survey conducted by ABI Research on behalf of Cellcrypt, showed that while 80% of businesses regard mobile calls as being at least as vulnerable as email, only 18% have adequate mobile voice call security solutions in place.

In addition to protecting corporate information, concern for personal safety whilst travelling abroad is a common reason for securing voice calls. According to the research, 70% of businesses have executives that travel to countries requiring a higher than normal level of concern for safety, and 92% of those consider it the organisation's duty to provide mechanisms to protect employees' personal security when travelling.
