Subject:secure texting with participants

What strategies and policies do research teams have in place to allow texting of research participants and keep this process secure? We previously have used encrypted cell phones for texting, but now have been told this isn’t secure enough because the cell phones of the participant isn’t encrypted. Participants do not want to be managing multiple devices. Any recommendations? Jane Silovsky
