How Do You Sign Up for Viber
You do not need to register or sign in when using the service. Once you download the app to your device, you are asked to enter your phone number and are given an access code through SMS, which you enter on activation.
You are then identified through your mobile phone number. Users in some regions and with certain operators might find that the service is blocked because apps and services like Viber compete with mobile carriers.

Does Viber Require an Internet Connection
Viber does not use your GSM architecture and service to channel the calls and messages, so you need an internet connection through either Wi-Fi or a data plan.

Calls remain free if you use Wi-Fi, but you will then be limited in mobility. When you use your data plan on the move, take into consideration that you would be paying for each megabyte of data used.
Final Verdict
Viber makes it easy for individuals who have different devices to communicate with each other on one platform.
Viber is especially useful for corresponding with people in other countries since it uses the internet for calls and messages. It's a great tool for when you're traveling abroad, or if you make a lot of international calls. Was this page helpful?
