How to Download and Install Viber

To install Viber on an Android phone:

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.

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.
