According to the Blackphone website, the phone runs on PrivatOS (a version of Android). Right out of the gate it is unlocked and works with any GSM carrier. Monetization of data is not the revenue model here. Instead, users pay for a secure, high-end smartphone. Accordingly, users will be able to exchange secure texts, send and receive secure phone calls, securely exchange and store files, engage in secure video chat sessions, browse privately, and anonymize all Blackphone activity through a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
