    I found this CryptTalk - Features which seems to be encrypted end-to-end. Nice features as far as I am concerned.
    However, I haven't found the cost yet.
    It's possible it's free for individual users. It can be downloaded from the Google Play store and there is an iPhone version as well. If I find out anything more I will add it here.

    ***=== E D I T ===***
    I signed up on my Android phone. It does ask for an email address, first and last name (entered a pseudonym) and you create a 6-digit passcode.

    I can receive calls for free.

    To initiate a call, I need to buy 1 of three packages.

    * CT-10 package at $5.49 a month for the first 3 months
    unlimited secure calls and text messages to up to 10 contacts.

    * CT-15 package at $8.99 a month for the first 3 months
    unlimited secure calls and text messages to up to 15 contacts.

    *CT-MAX package at $12.99 a month for the first 3 months
    unlimited secure calls and text messages [unlimited contacts].

    It does seem relatively secure - everytime my screen blanks on my Android, when I go back into the app, it asks me to re-enter my 6 digit security code.

    They want MONEY to provide their service... We use Apple’s FaceTime which is end to end encrypted and free for Mac Users...

    The issue with TS is that it is quite technical and someone like Brokor or Sec would have to manage it. That is what I have been told. If @Brokor wants to run a TS server then I am in $.

    TS for 15 slots is less then 100 a year. Even cheaper is you pay yearly

    Not really. I prefer to be a follower in this instance.
    There's no harm in testing to see if we can find something that works, we're bound to get one to fill the slot. I know I was tooling around with Sec on the SM version through Pigeon and it didn't work for me, but I have a quasi-hacked and upgraded version of Mint that I love and it doesn't want to play ball. If I ever get my system straightened out and spend the time setting up the boot order, I could run Ubuntu from a second SSD. Right now I have it on RAID setup and can get into it if I change the boot order in my BIOS, but that's a little time consuming. BUUUUT the idea is to get voice and at the moment that's not possible, although Sec said they are working on it.

    ;)

    Still working on this. We are looking at getting a new teamspeak account. Since most are familiar with that system and already have it downloaded it should be easy for the change to a new account. Hopefully we will have a monkey chat soon.
