Best way to keep cell day to day phone calls private – is VOIP better?
This question is about preventing eavesdropping by hackers, thieves, or other smart people collecting information for shady purposes.
Is it better to buy a smartphone and install a VOIP service on it like Google Voice or Skype and then use the data connection to make calls? Or does simply owning a smartphone create more problems than it solves?
What do you do when you are making calls to people who are not security-conscious enough to have install any special applications on their phones?
To be clear, this question is not concerned with surveillance by the NSA or other government authorities.
