NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Milano, MI, Italy, 2010/04/15 - Private and encrypted SMS application SafeBox goes global with its new collaboration with UK provider txtNation to expand its mobile messaging and billing platform to over 200 countries.

The Irish company SafeBox has announced its collaboration with UK-based provider txtNation to enable SafeBox to expand its mobile messaging and billing platform globally and to allow their users to purchase topup credits from the safebox.mobi website using their mobile phone.

SafeBox now offers mobile billing solutions via premium phone (IVR) worldwide and via premium rate SMS in over 70 countries.

"txtNation brings us well established connections to the world's mobile network operators worldwide and a range of mobile billing solutions trusted in the business. In addition they offer us the right level of flexibility, scalability and support that we were looking for." - said Philippe Joly, CEO of SafeBox.

The SafeBox mobile application can be downloaded for free directly from the mobile phone browser by going to w.safebox.mobi and allows users to create a secret mobile space inside of their mobile phone to communicate via private SMS, invisible to anyone taking their phone.

The SafeBox application comes preloaded with 10 credits and is ready to use. When users run out of credits, they can simply purchase additional credits on the website and topup their application.

SafeBox is an innovative mobile application that brings advanced encryption and security technologies into the mobile space.

"We're delighted to support the impressive innovations that SafeBox are delivering to consumers on the handset. Issues of security are becoming heightened in this increasingly saturated space: SafeBox offers a clear way forward for protecting the privacy of devices we use each and every day." Ashley Cross, COO, txtNation.

With the SafeBox tool, mobile users can send and receive private SMS (normal or encrypted) within a private circle of contacts (secondary phonebook). The application also allows users to store confidential notes.

The application works the widely recognised J2ME technology supported by Java and Symbian phones. The company has also announced the release of a version developed specifically for RIM Blackberry devices in the coming weeks.

The SafeBox application answers a growing need for privacy that is emerging from the rapid popularity of mobile phones around the world. The company considers that the violation of privacy starts when someone takes your phone and looks through your contacts or reads your SMS without you knowing about it.
