For years
I’ve been with them for many years. The only completely private service I know of. A+
Customer service terrible
Been trying to email them for days. I’m getting emails back but they’re saying to log into my account and I’m up-to-date but they’re seeing a totally different screen than me. Nobody will get back to me or if they do they’re saying the same thing. I want to cancel their account, but there’s no option for me to do so in the app or online believe I was scammed.
Darse de alta
Tienen primero darse de alta en la página web y ya entran en la aplicación, 10 dlls mensuales
Была хорошей программой
На iOS 17.6.1. перестало загружаться. Просто серый знак Супермена на черном экране, и все(((. Это как-то можно решить?
Взломан
Дали доступ украинцам, знаю не по наслышке , очень жаль что такое приложение можно так легко по запросу вскрыть
works great!
Group text, calling and video with file sharing capabilities. Digital privacy and the confidence of knowing your communications are private!
Paid
I paid 10$ what’s is this for ? Do I have to pay again for a phone number I’m so confused
Falla
No me deja abrir la sesión ni cargarle créditos, ayuda!!!!,
Bad Service
I have tried on numerous occasions to get my issue resolved to no avail. I have an account and know how to login just fine. When I click to open the app, the app appears to open, then disappears. No login screen, nothing. It just goes away. I have opened Help Desk tickets on 2 different times about this issue but get some generic response about needing to login and my account looks good to go. SMDH I’m using iPhone 11. Help and I’ll use your service and give you more money!
Ошибка карты
Не могу оплатить пишет что ошибка карты хотя я уже несколько карт перепробовал
ONE OF THE BEST SECURE COMMS
We have been utilizing Silent Circle for years. It has never failed me. All over the globe I traveled and relied on Silent Circle phone. It’s outstanding service and security.
CEO
This is a very difficult system to figure out. If you don’t sign up first on their website then down load the app then good luck nothing works right. Even when you do sign up correctly if you have a problem or questions good luck with that as well. It will take two days for them to get back with you for every question you have. You could be waiting for weeks before you get a answer. They have no direct customer service only email and wait. It’s terrible ! Sometimes you service will go off when your on auto pay for no reason and then try to get it on again. Nope not happening. You must wait for weeks to get it back on. It’s it’s the money that keeps this company from having a real customer service then charge more for God sakes. People will pay extra for great service rather then have to wait for days and weeks to correct an issue. It goes without saying service rules.

Los mensajes tardan en llegar
Los mensajes tienen un retraso en llegar, es un problema real ya que no das seguimiento a tiempo de las cosas. Tampoco puedes seleccionar los mensajes para responderlos como si puedes hacerlo en telegram. Esto hace que muchas veces pierdas el hilo de la conversación Al ser una app de paga, deben de tener esto realmente actualizado ya que no es barata la suscripción
Looks great but messaging and videoconference isn’t working
Hi! The only functioning part of the app that occurs is the silent calling feature. I have paid the $9.95 monthly subscription but there is no videoconferencing and text sections of the app. Is something missing? The download only included the call option.
On billing and billing pop ups
Hi. I recently switched the Silent Phone app from an iPhone to an android phone. Strangely to me, there are daily popups warning that the minutes for my phone calls are running out. I never got these messages on the iPhone, and I am still on the automatic debit/payment subscription. It makes me worry. Also, in viewing the Silent Phone app on the App Store, I noticed that the going monthly charge is now only around $9, I have been paying 11 something for several years. I would like your assistance to change me over to the lower billing cost.
No customer support
I purchased this app over 2 weeks ago. I am unable to make it work, I have written to tech support several times, they will not speak to anyone by phone. I get no reply. Their payment system worked perfectly, I have asked for a refund. Imagine that, No reply again...

Dropping calls and missing options
Since a few updates ago calls last about 5mins before they drop every update I hope they’ve fixed this but haven’t also you can’t see the amount of credit you have reminding within the app you have to log on from the internet which takes long and it a feature they use to offer so don’t understand why it’s been taken away. Once these issues are fixed will be 5 starts again!
Forgotten username
Hello, I have just made my acc, however I forgot my username and and not able to set up the app. I also have paid the fee of 9,95 and I just wonder if there is a way to log in with forgotten username. Thanks
long time user
been using silent circle for a long time. when i want secure calls i use this
Garbage
This app doesn’t let me register only tells me log in how I’m going to log in when I’m trying to register myself to the app so I can use it
Improve the security
The app is good. But modern smart phones are capable of using the internet via a wired ethernet connection. I have 2 smart phones and I can surf the internet faster using my wired ethernet connection but I cannot connect Silent Circle to the wired ethernet connection. By using a wired ethernet connection instead of WiFi the user will prevent an ad hoc anonymous connections, evil twin and honey pot connections. Would it be that difficult for silent circle to modify their app to give us a choice if we want to use silent circle via WiFi or wired ethernet. These nefarious connection are just as dangerous to our privacy as talking on a regular cell phone. Please modify the app to give us the option of using Silent Circle via a wired ethernet connection
Much improved but still not an all rounder
Silent Phone has come some distance over the years. On the upside, they’ve brought stability to peer to peer VOIP calls in the app. Downside continues to be very unreliable handling of media attachments (frequent failures when attempting to share photos/videos). It’s been like this for a while so I’m not sure when it’ll get rectified by the developers. Silent World is also improved though occasionally it simply fails to dial out to countries which should be working- this normally resolves itself in a few days but there is no indication of when this disruption may happen so users must simply go with the flow. Not exactly stellar but it’s also a very useful feature of the app when it’s working fine. Support is no longer responsive- the company (which has gone through several avatars of itself) is now focused on the large Enterprise market and thus smaller users must take what they get. Signal (whisper systems) is more reliable but without the facility to call outside the app. Privacy of Silent Phone is questionable- your content may be encrypted but they know who’s talking to whom via the payment information of each client. Prepaid Cards, Ronin codes, bitcoin payment were shut down and they require a working credit card on file for each user- not exactly a panacea for anyone concerned about pattern analysis of their metadata. This is obviously information that the company can be compelled to disclose - zero knowledge system this is NOT. Cannery also pulled. Users are compelled to communicate with the company over unencrypted Email which seems quite ironic for a company focused on securing your communications. Phil Zimmerman, who was the face of trust of this company, has disappeared from its literature and his current status of involvement is not clear. Perhaps it’s time some reporters do some digging into Silent Circle and its latest corporate avatar?!
Не работает горизонтальная ориентация
На планшете не работает горизонтальная ориентация при наборе текста с внешней клавиатуры. Устраните, пожалуйста. Это очень неудобно, когда нужно ломать шею.
iOS 13.1.2 caused issues
The app was great been using for a week now and today it’s not showing full text of what I write it only shows the first line of about 5 words then it’s blinded . Please fix Update! Thanks for the update version. If anybody dealing with the new iOS update and having issues with calls or texts showing full screen when writing text . Silent Circle new update fixed my issue I had with mine not working so I bump there customer service up to five stars as to fixing it fast! Thanks again to silent Circle Services.
New Accounts
How do you even establish a new account? It just has you sign in.
Latest update is causing app to crash
Hi SC Dev team, I’ve been using the app for 4.5yrs on an iPhone 5S. The most recent updates made is causing intermittent crashes when the app tries to connect to your server (red-blue- to green).
?????
I dont really find the added value of this app. Burner works far better
What text?
Installed app based on friends’ recommendations. Easily installed and seems to be a phone app only. I do not see any text options.
Latest Update
Why do I want my conversation partners to know when I add or remove a device.
Can’t create account
I just downloaded this app and there is no option to create an account. There is only a log in screen and when I made up a password and screen name, it says it incorrect. It appears that there is already an account attached to my phone even though I have never had this app before.
Need iPhone X support
We need iPhone X support please. The app isn’t usable on iPhone X because of the position of the phone icon & the back button (<—) above. We need it quickly. Thank you.

Could Be Five Stars
I was blown away when I restarted my silent circle subscription and experienced the new redesign of the application. I am all about security, and I was so impressed with the upgraded security measures (I can't access the control panel (swipe up) or my notifications (swipe down) without it locking up, requesting my Touch ID, the data being wiped after too many failed attempts). It keeps both parties very secure because you can not leave the app without it locking. I was sold for life on the new features, but was BLOWN AWAY when I realized how easy it was to screenshot. It was a normal screenshot, and provided no notification to either party. I don't send sensitive material, so it isn't a major risk for me. However, this is a major flaw as this app is intended for secure, private communication. If they released an update that resolved this issue (either a software that auto applies a digitally applied blackout to the image, or doesn't allow screenshoting at all), this would be the greatest app out there, and easily a five star app.
Great app and outstanding service!
Even though I’m a fairly new customer, I have found incredible value in the service it offers. While there are many apps that offer, and likely do, provide secure encrypted communications, I haven’t found another with the phone features. I think that many of the other apps operate under a premise that both users will have the app. But what happens when both users don’t? This is where Silent Phone offers a unique feature: a VOIP number with security built in. I serve in the military and occasionally travel to locations outside of the US. With Silent Circle and Silent Phone as long as I have WiFi connectivity I always have one phone number to call out and receive calls. This simple feature itself is is worth every penny. The ability to call anyone, whether they’re in the Silent Circle community or not, is probably the single greatest feature for me. Thank you, Silent Circle!
Useless from jump
If the other person doesn't have it no go
Rec$99
Excellent app. Based in Switzerland so government can't court order unlock. Needs a short code access added, maybe with a wipe feature if too many failures.
Обновление
После обновления не работает в фоновом режиме. Не приходят сообщения и звонки. Нужно постоянно держать программу запущенной. Исправьте пожалуйста как было.
CallKit
Please, integrate silent phone calls into CallKit.
App Update 6.1
Thanks For the Update It's Working Excellent! Been a Customer for Several Years I Highly Recommend the service If you want Privacy in your Communications! I travel all over the USA It works Excellent!
Doesn't work on iPhone 7 Plus
I'd like to have an app for a service I'm paying for that works on the latest Apple's device...
My Favorite Texting And Calling App
This is the best for texting and calling. I would like to be able to lock the text side or the entire app behind Touch ID or a pin.
New update now text doesn't work
Text say delivered but aren't being delivered. Tested several times, reset the app also re signed in and did everything possible that I could and it's like the app text do not work
Great product! Customer service not so much
Love the service love the app. Secure calls and text, great reception and fast connection. Encryption has never been so easy. Have been trying to update my CC info for a week and the customer service at SC is almost non existent. Won't answer, don't return calls, I finally talked to someone that was going to send me a password rest but never did. Now my billing is due and I can't change my info. Frustrating!
It just works!
The most remarkable thing about Silent Phone is just how unremarkable it feels. You get the industry's leading security and privacy software in an affordable app that is intuitive and easy to use. And it works on the phone I already own!
bad
this app used to be so good back in the day.. for the past one year it keeps getting worse, i might have to switch soon to something better. also how do you add to favorites on the newest version???
Finally able to make secure calls!
I worry about making phone calls back to the states when I travel for business. When I first heard about Silent Phone from a news article, I was skeptical. Nothing is ever as it seems in advertising. I’ve been using this for my business and personal communications now for a month. Getting started was a little tricky since you have to sign up on their website, but for a little over $10 a month I can send files back and forth to my office, send messages on status updates and even call my vendors who aren’t on the system. I wish there was a way to message more than one person at a time, but the trade-off is I knowing my words are not being snooped across the internet. I love the “burn” feature too, though I’m not certain that it is really deleted off all servers. The features I would like to see are voicemail or at least some way for people to contact me if I don’t answer right away, and group texts so I can update my team abroad.

Novelty wears off quickly
Bit of fun at first but if you want this to work tidy, both parties will need to be using wifi. Over 3g there will be anything from a 1 to 5 second delay and if you don't get cut off, you'll end up putting it down out of frustration. Hoping to see some improvements. Especially to Silent Text.
