I was wondering is there such thing as an offline wallet for our smart phones? There are a lot for pc but I haven't heard any yet if there is.

You can use Bither. If you have two mobiles, you can install Bither on both and use one as cold storage(never connect to internet) and the other as hot storage(and/or watch-only).

* Edited.

My advice is to simply not use a phone as offline storage for any serious amounts of BTC.
You should do that at home and keep it safe, and not carry it around. Use smartphone for change money that you can use to spend, just like an actual physical wallet with some dollar bills and coins.

An old phone that stays offline (hence cold) is perfectly fine for that. IIRC bither does not allow outside connections if its in cold mode.

I absolutely agree with this. Don't keep massive amounts on a phone. Just keep your coins in a wallet offline and make several back ups just make sure your computer is safe. You can instal or dual boot ubuntu or buy a raspberry pi and just use it exclusively for your coins.

I agree with that. Anyway I only use a mobile wallet for daily transactions. I store my bitcoins safe in my pc.

I only use the wallet on my smartphone when I am spending money at brick-and-mortar stores that accept bitcoin. I store all the bitcoins I earn online on my Macbook. My suggestion for cold storage/offline wallets is to seriously consider paper wallets. You can store these wallets in your real wallet as traditional fiat and all merchants that accept Bitcoin will honour them.

if i was you i never store any of my bitcoins in a offline wallet in my phone where i live there are alot of mobile phone snatching if someone snatch my phone my bitcoins are forever gone with it or if my mobile broke or got flased anything i loss all of my bitcoins online wallet are best for mobile users 

as far as I know you could use mycelium as a offline cold storage. check it out :)

Actually I just want to know if there is. I don't have any intention of storing a huge amount of bitcoins if ever I am using my mobile. I only use it for micro transactions. That's all. Anyway thank you for your comment.

Most of the comments in this thread criticizing using mobile phone as cold storage is just BS IMHO.


Paper wallets and almost all of the hardware wallets are smaller than most of the smart phones or their size is same as mobile phone. And you are telling me mobile phone could get lost or snatched easily? What about hardware and/or paper wallets? Is there any "protection" for them which makes it harder to get lost or snatched?


What does that suppose to mean?


You can get good mobile phones for less price than Trezor's or at a price equal to Ledger Nano's but if you are looking for a cheaper wallet, I recommend Ledger HW1.

Ledger wallet and Trezor can actually work for your android devide.
