Aloaha is only able to encrypt a SMS if it has the certificate of the recipient saved in its own certificate store. To send an encrypted SMS to 0815 you need to have saved the certificate of the recipient as 0815.cer in the subfolder CertificateStore in the Aloaha SecureSMS installation folder on your device. You can access that folder via ActiveSync or the Mobile Device Center.Much easier it is if you use our MobileCertificateWizard. The Wizard automatically transfers the Outlook Addressbook Certificates to your Mobile.
