Thanks for trying us out and for the feedback. We are have had some bugs with voicemail that we should have resolved now. And improving the network is our #1 priority this year. Ho…

We don’t operate our own towers and as you point out we can’t control what someone there does. Our privacy and security model is to treat the towers as untrustworthy. This is why w…

It depends what your threat model is. Most telco data collection and resale is based on IMSI’s attached to KYC’d customers. If they can’t get personal information and the IMSI look…

We receive in cleartext and encrypt with a key controlled by the customer. Most carriers store voicemail and SMS in cleartext on their servers. The goal is reduce exposure while pr…

This is valid feedback and it’s on us to earn trust over time through our actions. I will say that Cape is a company of almost 100 people from many different backgrounds. Prior to …

We’re working on an audit now. There’s an RFC on Reddit looking for input: https://www.reddit.com/r/CapeCellular/s/zTn7HQ0emo

This was in fact an issue with queries containing quotes on our /lite and /html sites. It should be fixed now. Let me know if you see any other issues. What happened is we frequent…

Thanks for the feedback. We only return videos from YouTube right now, but expanding that is definitely something we'd like to do in the future.

Thanks, these are helpful. Is it mostly searches with quoted words? brian@duckduckgo.com

Disclaimer: I work for DDG. I'd be interested in looking into any examples of searches where the results aren't good enough or where it seems to have gotten worse recently. As far …
