Doesnt work with cellular phones. They pack the data and if you encrypt
it, they cant send it properly. If thats what you are looking for,
concider Palm computer and GPRS/UMTS connection and use tools like Hush
Messenger to communicate securely (with others with Hush Messenger).

If you want cellular security, you better buy phone that has integrated
strong crypto, however, they need that other party is also having
similiar cellurar phone to decrypt the data. :(

There is no easy solution to this problem.
