a great project and publications in such reputable media tell me a lot. I think that the project has a great future and encrypted calls will be really in demand.
publication in Forbes and Yahoo Finance, that's just fine. at least you can be sure that it is not scammers. but how the team implements the project is another matter.
actual implementation is a tough job to almost all projects because you are battling with adoption. but this project has been in the market already. if there are already 10k+ active users that are using their sim card and the map of calls is authentic, then i guess this project will proceed and even if their ico is not successful, their platform will continue to be operational
but they should lower the current price of the sim card. $150 + $50 (intl shipping fee) is very expensive to most users, though you are giving it back via the load content but dont you think it is the reasonable price for this sim card?
You asked a very good question!
Those products (Secure GSM) that are presented on our website and in whitepaper are intended for one target audience (top managers, businessmen, politicians, etc.).
We also released a product for the target audience from Telegram (@SafeCallsBot), which can register in a few seconds and start making secure calls around the world directly from the telegram to our telegram gateway, without access to the outside world. This is a more affordable product, but it requires a permanent Internet connection.
Now we are working on a special product that will combine all the best from existing products and will be available to a larger audience. This is a cryptosim (SIMx) card that will be available to subscribers at a price of $10 / month for a subscription. We will be able to announce more detailed information on this product a bit later.
