There are four simple ways to obtain PrivateGSM:

  1. Regular installation by Apple Store or Google Play
  2. By email/Text Message via Request to PrivateWave download web site
  3. By email/Text Message via Push invitation sent by Service Operator/Administrator
In order to activate Professional version an SMS text message will be sent to a UK PrivateWave number (UK +44). Therefore your SIM card must be enabled to send international text messages and your credit balance must be able to cover these charges.
Based on your subscription plan it is possible that you have to pay data connection fee also when dialing and receiving a secure call. Check the costs of your Internet access on the selected access point before using PrivateGSM. The customer service of your mobile operator may help you in this.

Once the installation file is downloaded on your device you just have to launch it and installation wizard completes the setup.

Regular installation via Apple Store or Google Play

That's as easy as installing any other App on your device. Simply open Apple Store or Google Play application and use "Search" function to look for "Privategsm Enterprise" or "PrivateGSM Professional". Once results are displayed you can install the edition of your choice. 

It's not possible to install PrivateGSM via "BlackBerry World", so if you're using BlackBerry devices you have to choose one other installation method.

Installation by email/Text message

Each way that uses E-Mail and/or Text message as a means for delivering installation link differs only in the request part, because once the link has been received then clients will act the same way no matter how installation request has been performed.
