Title: redphone - whisper systems??
Post by: Bordermolethesecond on April 22, 2012, 05:53 pm
Why has it vanished. All links seem to be dead. I was curious to try it to see how it worked. Are the calls made like regular cell phone calls or are they made like viber over voip and encrypted ??

Whisper Systems was acquired by Twitter last year. No one really knows what's going to happen with RedPhone, but TextSecure was made open source and the code is available on GitHub.

If you did find the apk, it would not work. Check out https://guardianproject.info/wiki/Ostel instead.
