SGS - Secure Green SMS



Privacy is a right, don't lose it!
Using SGS is a small step to protect your privacy!

PS1: I had heard that TCI (Telecommunication Company of Iran) keep an archive of some messages. Actually everyone who has access to the service center can do whatever they want with your messages. They can also send messages on someones behalf. Although sending fake messages does not necessarily require access to the service center. Since there are lots of rumors about Revolutionary Guard (RG) taking over TCI, I do not feel comfortable. In addition, limited access on "special days" and tracking individual makes it more plausible to gather information to annoy someone. Therefore, I think more caution is required.

PS2: SGS is a very basic application for cell phones and simply just "works" now, but is better than nothing. However, since it's open source, everyone who wants to improve it should not hesitate and get her/his hands on the code! Writing HowTos can be very beneficial too! (there may be problem running this application on windows mobile and JBlend)

PS3: Please be a good user and report any bug that you find to sgs.src.dev [a't] gmail [d'o't] com

PS4: The last but not the least: the main audience of this application are Iranian who are in Iran now, so please spread it around to them!
