CONFIDENTIAL MODE · A SEPARATE MOBILE SPACE

A private communication mode built around two authorized mobiles.

Confidential Mode separates a direct person-to-person exchange from the usual SMSMobileAPI dashboard, API keys, integrations and automation workflows. Each participant uses the official mobile app, a private username and a public contact ID to find trusted contacts and communicate inside a dedicated environment.

No card is required for the 7-day trial. Activation temporarily locks the standard dashboard and API keys for that account.

01

Isolated account mode

Ordinary dashboard pages, actions and API keys are unavailable while the mode is active.

02

Mobile-to-mobile identity

Find a trusted recipient by confidential username or public network ID.

03

Explicit user control

Activate or disable the mode from your account and always see the current access period.

A DIFFERENT OPERATING MODE

Confidential Mode changes the entire operating context of the account.

This is not an extra privacy button added on top of the normal dashboard. Activating it moves the account into a separate operating mode. The ordinary communication workspace is hidden, dashboard actions are refused and API keys become unavailable until the mode is disabled.

NORMAL

Standard SMSMobileAPI mode

  • Dashboard histories and operational tools
  • REST API keys and external integrations
  • Rules, workflows and automated actions
  • SMS, calls, WhatsApp and email services
ISOLATED

Confidential Mode

  • Dedicated mobile interface for private contacts
  • Confidential username and unique public network ID
  • Standard dashboard content kept out of view
  • API keys, integrations and ordinary automations locked

HOW IT WORKS

From installation to a private exchange in four clear steps.

The dashboard prepares the confidential account. The two authorized people then use compatible versions of the official SMSMobileAPI app for the mobile exchange.

  1. 1

    Install the official app

    Download SMSMobileAPI from Google Play or the Apple App Store and keep the phone protected and up to date.

  2. 2

    Connect the confidential account

    Enter the Account ID and Account Licence displayed in the dashboard. These are mobile connection credentials, not API keys.

  3. 3

    Find a trusted contact

    Search by confidential username or the contact’s unique public network ID, then add the correct person to your list.

  4. 4

    Send from the private interface

    Open the trusted contact, write the message and send it through the dedicated confidential mobile flow.

IDENTITY WITHOUT AN API KEY

A clear identity model without exposing an API key.

Confidential Mode uses separate identifiers for separate purposes. Understanding them prevents mistakes and makes it easier to exchange the right information with a trusted contact.

Confidential username

A memorable, unique name such as private.joe. It identifies the person inside Confidential Mode.

Public network ID

A short unique combination of letters and numbers used to find the right contact. It is public and is not a password.

Account ID + Account Licence

Private account credentials entered into your own mobile app. Do not publish or share them as a contact identifier.

ACCOUNT ISOLATION

Privacy controls designed to reduce unnecessary exposure.

When the switch is active, the account deliberately gives up ordinary platform access in exchange for a narrower confidential environment.

01

Dashboard isolation

Only the Confidential section remains available. Saved links to ordinary dashboard pages return to the confidential workspace.

02

API-key lock

Primary and secondary API keys cannot be used while Confidential Mode is active.

03

No ordinary integrations

Connected software, CRM integrations and normal workflow actions cannot use the locked API access.

04

Separate mobile interface

The app presents a dedicated contact and messaging experience instead of the normal SMSMobileAPI controls.

05

Visible access status

Trial, subscription state and access expiry remain visible so the user knows when access must be renewed.

06

Reversible by the owner

Disabling the switch restores the standard dashboard and the previous API-key state.

SECURITY TRANSPARENCY

Security explained without vague promises.

Account isolation and message encryption are two different protections. Confidential Mode provides the account-isolation controls described on this page. True end-to-end confidentiality additionally requires compatible mobile apps to encrypt content on the sender’s phone and decrypt it only on the recipient’s phone.

What the mode does

  • Separates confidential use from ordinary dashboard operations
  • Disables API keys while the confidential environment is active
  • Keeps the ordinary message histories and tools out of view
  • Uses an explicit trusted-contact identity flow on mobile
!

What you must still verify

  • Both mobiles must run a compatible and current official app version
  • The app must explicitly indicate the expected protected delivery state
  • The public network ID is an identifier, not an authentication secret
  • Highly regulated use still requires your own legal and security assessment

Important: Before sending highly sensitive information, confirm the recipient through a second trusted channel and verify the security status displayed by both mobile applications.

WHEN TO USE IT

A focused mode for exchanges that should stay outside ordinary business automation.

Executive coordination

Create a narrower mobile space for direct exchanges that should not enter CRM or automation workflows.

Private personal exchange

Communicate with a known person through a dedicated contact identity rather than exposing an API key.

Sensitive operational updates

Keep a small, authorized mobile group apart from standard messaging logs and integrations.

Temporary confidential project

Activate the mode for a defined period, then return the account to its normal operating environment.

CONTACT PRESENCE

Presence information helps you choose the right moment.

The confidential contact list can show a simple recent-activity indicator without turning it into a public social profile.

Available

Green: connected less than 5 minutes ago.

Recently available

Orange: connected between 5 and 30 minutes ago.

Not recently available

Red: last connection was more than 30 minutes ago.

CLEAR ANSWERS

Confidential Mode FAQ

Understand the identity, access and security model before you activate it.

Does Confidential Mode use my normal API key?+

No. API keys are deliberately unavailable while the mode is active. The mobile app uses the Account ID and Account Licence assigned to the account.

What can I share with a contact?+

Share your confidential username or public network ID. Never share your Account Licence, dashboard access or API keys as a contact identifier.

Can I return to the standard dashboard?+

Yes. The account owner can disable Confidential Mode to restore the complete dashboard and the previous API-key state.

Is the public network ID a password?+

No. It is designed to identify a contact on the confidential network. It does not replace authentication credentials.

Does the 7-day trial require a payment card?+

No. The trial begins on first activation and does not require a card. A paid period is required after the trial expires.

Is Confidential Mode automatically suitable for every regulated activity?+

No. Organizations handling medical, legal, financial, government or other regulated information must perform their own legal, security and compliance assessment.

A NARROWER SPACE. EXPLICIT CONTROL.

Create a narrower communication space when ordinary platform access is too broad.

Create an account, choose your confidential identity, connect the official mobile app and start with the 7-day trial. The dashboard always shows whether the mode is active and when access expires.
