what encrypted messaging apps do you use?

Pidgin with OTR for me.

Thanks Axeman. Just looking more into this.

phone or computer? textsecure is amazing on the phone, it incorporates your entire contact list and it simply replaces your existing text platform. wickr is a bit harder to use but SUPER crazy secure. Redphone for calls

Not that I need to worry about such things but if I did would probably use :

For telephone calls I would use a pay phone.

For long text messages I would use a pen and the US postal service

For when I'm at the cabin I use our walkie talkies and vhf radio

For Internet communications I just don't transmit anything that could be used against me.

https://bitmessage.org/ - email
https://tox.im/ - chat

This, with a dukgo.com XMPP (free) account.
Won't save you from the NSA if you are under scrutiny but it's safe enough... :2 cents:

For work -- internally: A private VPN TLS(https) chat server.

The problem with using public IM networks with something like Pidgin OTR is that both (all) participants have to be using OTR - XMPP WIKI OTR will not work with any casual contact.

Also users would be restricted to the clients supported: note the absence of Skype, Yahoo, ICQ , etc..
