Derek C. suggested an encrypted phone service that makes voice over IP (VoIP) calls. This is a free Android application called Redphone, and when both phones have registered, “secure” calls can supposedly be placed between the phones. Note that if you have Google Voice installed, you need to log out before you can either register or receive Redphone calls; however, once registered, you can place Redphone calls while still logged into Google Voice. Derek notes: “I installed this on my wife’s phone and my phone, so we theoretically have an emergency ‘secure channel’ for communications. If I want to initiate secure communications with her, I can just start dialing on Redphone. If she wants to initiate secure communications with me, she must first text me with a codeword, which is a signal to me to log out of Google Voice. She can then initiate a Redphone call to me.”
