How to Download and Install Viber
To install Viber on an Android phone:
On the Android device, open Google Play, then search for Viber to go to the Viber app page. Tap Install to automatically download and install the app. Tap Open. In the welcome screen that lists the features of the app, tap Continue, then enter your mobile phone number. Viber automatically detects your location and area code. If the location isn’t correct, choose the correct location. When prompted for permission to allow Viber to access your contact list, either accept or deny permission. Viber sends you an activation code in a text message to verify that you are the owner of the phone number. Enter the four-digit code and start making calls to your friends.
What You Need to Install Viber
Viber requires a compatible and supported smartphone. Most Android devices are compatible. This is because Android is an open operating system with respect to hardware integration and software development.
Viber also requires an internet connection using either Wi-Fi or cellular. Viber makes calls through Wi-Fi hotspots, including at home and at the office, and through a data plan for calls while you’re on the move. If you don’t have an unlimited data plan, you’ll pay for each MB of data you use on calls and messages. Viber support says the app uses 240 KB of data per minute of use, up and down. That makes 14 MB per hour of communication.
Before you can make calls, you’ll need is a list of buddies. You can’t make Viber calls or send Viber messages to people who don’t use Viber.
Get the Most out of Viber
You’ll save money with Viber if you have a number of contacts that you call frequently, such as family, friends, and colleagues. Ask them to install Viber, and the calls with them will be free, especially if you make calls using Wi-Fi hotspots. You can also organize group messaging in Viber and turn the app into a collaboration tool.
