Best cellphone wallets

[KenR]

hi could I get some recommendations for best cellphone wallets and why?  Thanks!

It is not recommended to do so,since you want the suggestion - Blockchain.info. Their mobile wallet is synced with your account on the website too.You can always use the website if you mess anything up on your phone.

Whatever mobile wallet you will use, watch out, because other mobile apps have a chance to steal your coins.
Don't keep big amounts in mobile wallet, it should be change or amount that you can loose.

It's ironic you talking about stealing coins when you've been doing that since forever.

I only use electrum and mycelium. Its secure and i recommend it for you. There are also online wallets like Xapo and Coinbase. I suggest don't use them to avoid inconvenience. There are many people who are complaining about these wallets. I don't use other wallet aside from electrum and mycelium.

On my android phone I have xapo wallet and I am using it from about one year and till now I have not faced any issue from xapo. But now it have started the fees so I will also search for other that is the only hurdle came to me in xapo. It was very interesting to use them for free transactions especially for loading my phone

At first, I preferred Mycelium because back in the day I started bitcoin, this is so far one of most popular mobile wallet for Android OS. Plus the fact that Im learning some sign message thing back then which is possible on this wallet that's why I encountered this wallet (Thanks to shorena).

My main wallet for my Android OS now is Electrum Wallet. It established a good name as a desktop wallet so what's more as a mobile wallet. Your's to evaluate why I preferred this wallet.

Nice joke?? or sarcasm?? Hmmm... 

I use Electrum, because it is a wallet as well as cold storage. You can use it however you want with multi signatures as well as integration with hardware wallets. I would suggest mycelium too.

Make sure you can access the private key if something bad happened.

I'm using Mycellium to store Bitcoin to cellphone and make sure you protect your cellphone because in your cellphone have your money and maybe your friend or someone could stole your Bitcoin.

Currently im using coins.ph since this is the wallet provider in phillipines where we can do easy transaction upon buying some digital goods nor doing some easy withdrawals instantly but this coin is exclusive for filipino people only since it need KYC and certain verification. But if you are a foreign well the best thing to be use is mycelium,Xapo and Electrum you can download their app on playstore.

If you have Android and are looking for a way to use the same wallet in your PC and Cellphone, I recommend you to use Copay or Jaxx with support for multiple coins beyond bitcoin if you are looking for this. But incase you are using iOS, there is Breadwallet, which is a simple wallet to use.

Thanks for suggestions!  If people could give their reasoning for why each program is better it would be much appreciated!  Please no online mobile wallet information if possible.  I do not want to store bitcoins with webpages where they can dissapear in a minute and leave you hanging, like mt. gox.

Why do you recommend mycellium?  Just for security?  I think it is mip44?

I agree how reliable cellphone wallet is the Breadwallet, IIRC for IOS and android 6.0 users and above, but even though the last month many people do not discuss the possibility of a hardfork it is useful to know what the developers of any wallet are intended to do if this happen. That means, if they will offer the capability the user to choose the chain which he prefers or not.

EDIT:

i use bread wallet. it is so simple and fast for beginners.

Thx for this, breadwallet looks good!  Is it secure?

hi could I get some recommendations for best cellphone wallets and why?  Thanks!

For me so far the best cellphone wallet is xapo, been using it for a year  and it never give me problems at all.if your not ok  with my suggestion you can try,coinbase,or mycellium.

I think this is a web wallet? Im looking for cellphone wallets, thx

I also used breadwallet. Started as wallet for IPhone, but now it also support Android devices running 6.0 or higher.
It is easy to used because its very simple and the security it provided makes it friendly to people new to bitcoin. So I would recommend this to you. https://breadwallet.com/
Another wallet I heard, but I haven't used it is Airbitz. Its also supports both IOS and Android as well. Here's some review I found about it.

- Simple account creation using just a login & password (no printing or emailing of PDFs, writing down passphrases or adding encryption settings)
- Automatic wallet encryption, backup, and multi-device synchronization

I hope this helps.

What is this hard fork?  What is happening?  How is this going to affect wallets?  Can you please explain or post something or show me links on this, any info is appreciated.

Not anymore. Blockchain wallet facing many issues and problem about delays and displaying funds. Mycellium and electrum are now best bitcoin wallet address.

I read Electrum is a just desktop wallet. Do they offer mobile versions too ?
I think Bread wallet is most secure one as it is used only on iPhone and with iOS security, even if the phone is lost or stolen your wallet will remain safe.

Few of my friends who are using mobile version of Xapo finding it more friendly for making bitcoin transaction on the go.

Yes they do but unfortunately so far is for Android only. It is the only wallet I keep in my phone as for me is one of the most secure wallets. Breadwallet I have read is the best for IPhone. It is boring in android as it needs you to lock your screen of your phone with security measures otherwise won't work. I don't know if that is the case in the IPhone too.

[Skarner21]

Electrum still the best choices as your phone wallet that i think you can fully control with your bitcoin and private keys..
Don't use other online wallet like coinbase or xapo not good idea for now..

[smartbitcoininvestor]

If you have an iPhone I would recommend Breadwallet. I haven't tried Mycelium yet on iOS but the reviews look bad.

Thus far, Bread Wallet and Loaf Wallet have been pleasantly secure and easy to use and pull up.

Coinbase is another great, but less secure alternative (definitely want to store the majority of your assets in a safer wallet)

In electurm you will be able to have multiple account wallet and you will be able sweap the private keys from it. I have Electrum, coinbase and mycelium in mobile. For faster transaction you could use coinbase than the other wallets which I mentioned above.
You will be have two factor authentication and pin enabling or IP detection in all the popular wallet. You could have use any according to your use.

What are the difference of coinbase from other bitcoin wallet? what you said its more faster to send in coinbase?
I think the speed of the transaction is always depends in your fee in transaction size..
If you are paying small fee than the default fee expect for delay or it takes time before you receive the transacted amount of bitcoin..

I can see the difference between coinbase wallet compared to other wallets, the only difference between them is you can't convert the btc amount in coinbase to fiat currency of local county fiat currency. You can appreciate the option like one of the wallet site same as coinbase which can have those options to convert the btc amount into fiat currency wallet options, which is ready to be cash out at recommended banks or other money transfer services with a minimal charges.
