Our Core Features

Minimal Data Collection

Use your phone with the peace of mind that your personal information and activity won’t be collected, exploited, or sold.

Cape collects only what’s necessary to provide service. No names, addresses, or Social Security numbers.

SIM Swap Protection

Don’t trust us. Secure your number and protect yourself from SIM swaps with a private key only you control.

During signup, you receive a 24-word phrase that generates a private key tied to your number. This phrase is the only way to move your number to a new device or carrier.

Enhanced Signaling Protection

Prevent attackers from tracking your location or intercepting your calls and texts.

Our proprietary signaling proxy eliminates SS7 vulnerabilities and blocks signaling attacks by preventing your device from attaching to suspicious networks.

Voicemail Encryption

Keep your voicemails truly private, so that only you can listen to them.

Your voicemails are encrypted with a private key that only your device can access.

Private Payment

Pay for your subscription without handing over your name or credit card details to Cape.

We don’t collect your name or billing address at checkout. Automatic monthly payments go directly to Stripe, and your card is never stored on our servers.

In The News

David Ignatius,

The Washington Post

“Cape has devised a virtual mobile network that disappears from the normal cellphone net. The phone is nearly impossible to hack or trace.”

Do you support international roaming?
Do you support international roaming?
We currently offer international roaming on select devices and international destinations. Cape's international roaming is "home-routed," which means that sensitive information like SMS and calls are routed back to Cape's core network, protecting it from potential compromise via the foreign network that's being visited.
As we progress through our open beta, more device types and roaming partners will be added, which you can see here.
