A lot of you already recommend Crypton to friends, in forums, or on your own sites. We’ve wanted a proper way to say thank you for that — without turning the product into an ad platform. So we built an affiliate program. It’s pretty simple: you get a link, someone signs up through it, and if they actually use Crypton (buy an eSIM, rent a number, subscribe to something, etc.), you earn a small commission. That’s basically it.

We’ve updated how long-term phone number rentals are priced and displayed. The goal is simple: one upfront total per commitment period, no mental arithmetic, and no surprise "per month × months" math on checkout. Short-term rentals are unchanged. This post is about long-term numbers, the ones with a dedicated gateway where your real number shows as the sender.

Crypton BYOD helps teams turn Android phones into reliable SMS gateways, provisioned once, managed from a clear web dashboard, built for real operations. Until now, that experience lived on crypton.sh.

We’ve been hardening how your encryption passphrase protects your messages, contacts, and other sensitive data. Most of you won’t need to do anything right away. This post explains what changed, who it affects, and what to do if you use account recovery or the API.

We’re excited to ship Crypton for Android, a native app built for those who already rely on Crypton on the web and want the same privacy and control on their phone.
