Today, we’re launching Cape’s open beta, bringing our private cell phone service to the public. Until now, Cape was only available to government agencies and high-risk individuals. But after overwhelming demand during our January closed beta—where all spots filled in just 4 hours—we’re expanding access. With this open beta, Cape is now available to anyone in the United States who values privacy in their mobile communications.

Our unlimited plan is $99 per month, , with privacy and security features built in, including:

    • No Tracking. No Selling Your Data – Ever. Read more in our .
    • Unlimited Talk, Text & Data – Stay connected at high speeds, with the confidence that your privacy is protected.
    • Encrypted Voicemail – Voicemail is a widely used feature, but also a . At Cape, we secure your voicemails with a private key that lives on your device, so you and only you can listen to them.
    • Enhanced Signaling Protection – Signaling attacks are a that enables location tracking and communications interception. Cape actively safeguards your device, with real-time monitoring and blocking of suspicious connections.
    • SIM Swap Protection – Your phone number is locked down with , ensuring that no one—not even Cape—can transfer it.

Privacy should be available to everyone. We’ve always believed that.

We started Cape alongside U.S. national security design partners, who long understood the gravity and ubiquity of cell network vulnerabilities. Recent state-sponsored attacks like show just how exposed mobile networks are to surveillance and exploitation. From there, we expanded to offering coverage for high-risk individuals—journalists, executives, public figures—people frequently targeted by SIM swaps, tracking, and interception.

But it’s not just targets of espionage who are at risk here. Anyone who uses a smartphone is subject to the same threats. Telcos on the one hand are losing your sensitive data in , and on the other are actively selling your personal information to data brokers and advertisers, with little regard to your privacy or security.

Now, we’re making cellular privacy available for everybody. No tracking, no surveillance, no compromises. Just a secure connection built for the way mobile should work.
