Not just normal mobiles - a mobile NEVER is safe, no matter how encrypted: it is only a matter of time and resources the other side is mobilizing for the task. I even go further and say: no electronic means of communication is safe. If you want to be safe, then meet under four eyes, in a safe and unknown location.

Encryption better is understood as just delaying the other from learning about what you said. Whether the delay is sufficient for your intentions, or not, depends.
