VIBER FOR IPHONE REVIEWS ANDROID
Viber also integrates wells with the Android phone book, allowing you to dial anyone via Viber. The app helpfully lets you know how the network quality is and what to expect. I found voice quality to be comparable to a normal GSM phone call, even on a 3G network and better than Skype. This isn’t set in stone, as it really depends on how talkative you are and network condition. As Viber is built from the ground up to work on mobile data networks, the engineers had to make sure that it doesn’t use more data than it has to.īased on testing, I found that a typical 4 minute Viber calls only uses about 600KB of downloaded data. This is called VoIP and works not differently from other VoIP services like Skype.
VIBER FOR IPHONE REVIEWS FREE
Well, not strictly free as you do need to pay for a data plan. Viber calls are free because phone calls are routed through WiFi or packet data (GPRS, HSPA etc.). You can enable pop up notification for new texts. For a more complete free text messaging system, I suggest getting WhatsApp. Unfortunately it only supports basic texts. Finally, as Viber also supports free data messages, there is a separate tab for it. You can pin contacts into a favourite sub menu. The contacts tab shows you contacts that are on Viber as well as everyone else who isn’t. You get to see all recent and missed calls (including those made via Viber and normal phone calls). In fact the dialler is a straight copy off the one on the iPhone with a different colour scheme. Viber features a tabbed based UI suspiciously similar to the iPhone phone app. The neat thing about Viber is the app also a universal phone dialler, allowing you to dial other none Viber users on a traditional phone line. Once activated (a process that took me a couple of seconds), the app scanned my phone book and found 12 of my contacts that was also on Viber. This would mean having to give out your number to people. Viber is different from many other VoIP services in that instead of requiring you to create a new login, it uses your phone number as an identifier, not at all dissimilar to WhatsApp. The Android version recently graduated from beta and is now available to the Android Market. In fact it has been downloaded over 12 million times on Apple’s app store. Viber is a popular VoIP and free messaging service on the iOS platform.
