Hmm, I wonder how useull this is. The example they give regarding financial information is crap imo. I mean, what company wants to send financial information via SMS?

Also I wonder what your wife will think when you receive an encrypted message from Lola while all other messages are normaly accessible.

Come to think of it, since you need a passkey to enter your encrypted message I think many people will take small words seeing as they need to retype it via a keypad every time they want to access it and as with all passwords systems, users want something easy which often contradicts with the most secure option(long passwords with letters/numbers/special chars etc).

Though yeah sure, some people will have a use for this but I think most users will have abit dodgy intentions with it (other then those privacy geeks/managers that want everything thats new).

It is an interesting idea though and i'm glad atleast some Telco's take the opportunity and pioneer in this field.
