Viber is an Android* and iPhone application that lets you make free phone calls and send free text messages to other users that have Viber installed. When you use Viber, your phone calls to any other Viber user are free, and the sound quality is much better than a regular call. You can call any Viber user, anywhere in the world, for free and now also text them. All Viber features are 100% FREE and do not require any additional “in application” purchase.

******************************************************
WHY USE VIBER VS. OTHER VOIP (VOICE OVER IP) SOLUTIONS
******************************************************

* COMPLETELY FREE AND WITH NO ADS: Viber and all Viber features are absolutely free and do not require any additional “in application” purchase. Once you and your friends install the free Viber application, you can use it to talk and also text as much as you want. Just makes sure all your friends get Viber! All you need is an Internet connection: 3G or Wi-Fi where available. On top of that, Viber doesn’t contain any annoying ads.
* NO INTERNATIONAL CHARGES: It doesn’t matter where you or your friends are, be it on the same network or in a totally different country. You can talk for as much as you want, for free. Just make sure your friends have Viber too.
* NO USERNAMES, PASSWORDS OR REGISTRATION: You know your friend’s phone number, so why bother with yet another username and password? Viber uses your phone number as your “identity” and lets you make free Viber phone calls to any of your friends that have Viber – using THEIR phone number.
* NO NEED TO ADD BUDDIES: Unlike applications like Skype, Windows Live Messenger or Fring where you need to “add buddies” and have them approve you, Viber behaves just like a phone. Just like you don't need to “add” someone in order to call them, you don't need to add your friends in order to call them on Viber. If you know their phone number, then you know their Viber number, and you’re ready to go!
* DON’T KILL YOUR VIBER: To make sure you always get incoming calls/messages notifications, we strongly recommend you to keep Viber running in the background. This doesn't drain your battery or use up memory and improves your Viber experience.
* SOUND QUALITY: Viber uses state of the art technology in order to make sure the sound quality you get is much better than GSM or a regular phone call.
* MUCH MORE COMING: We are hard at work bringing many more features to your Viber phone. More ringtones (and custom ones), wallpapers, location based services and more are all coming soon to Viber!

Hi all,
This a member of the Viber development team.

I'm here to answer any question/suggestion you might have for Viber. I'll comment on what's already been asked/said here:
About the audio quality:

3G networks can sometimes be disrupted and not fully handle VoIP calls (some would say - intentionally). This naturally affects Viber and damages its quality, and unfortunately there is not much we (Viber) can do about it - it's in the hands of the cellular companies.

The good news is that in the future we plan to add a feature that'll "lower" the quality of Viber calls on 3G calls if it detects that the connection is somewhat choppy, thus "sacrificing" on quality in order to assure stable calls on low-reception 3G areas.

Anyway, a WiFi-WiFi call on Viber should sound clear and with no interruptions.


If you have any more questions - please feel free.
Thanks.

Hi to all :)

Viber - I must say excellent application Your team produce, and You are wright, from time to time I also have problems with clearness of sound, but that is concerned to my cellular company. In the house, when I am on my WiFi network, everything goes smoothly. :)))


One thing will be great and that is to have options for: turn on/off Viber now! /concern about battery draining /.
I saw options to "deactivate account".
Does that mean that if I do that /deactivate!/ Viber shall stay disabled?
and affter activate again I need to recreate all connection/favorites again?

It will be nice to have options just to turn off/on app, without losing data.

However ...fantastic and usefull app.

Thanks.

Yea, I've got a question. I tried Viber on a 1st gen HTC Incredible and it would only let me text in portrait...not landscape. I've since tried Viber with two other people with different mobiles (though I don't know what make/model) and they said it would only do portrait for them, too. This is a total pain and it's lead all of us to switch to WhatsApp for texting.

So...what's the deal? Why won't Viber switch to landscape, which seems like something so basic it shouldn't even be considered a feature?
