    How do you protect text msgs?

    Okay. Let's just say my text msgs can some times contain sensitive information. Nothing illegal or government classified. But o want to make sure some snoopy people I work with are unable to view my text mages. What's a good way to prevent that from happening?

    I use pinger text free, just uncheck the notification box in the settings and then hide the app and use it through the Verizon service. Works for me!

    Gosms. Is a good app also, has encryption feature , private box, and you can setup folders for designated numbers.

    ** One note about gosms ** if you have a number assigned to the private box, mms messages will not work, but you can go to menu button in the text and save files then you can see them.

    You can just use gosms and put a lock on your messages. You don't have to move them to the private box.
