More than 573 million Viber users text, make HD-quality phone and video calls, and send photo and video messages worldwide over Wifi or 3G - for free.* You can create group messages with up to 200 participants. Viber Out credits can be used to make calls to non-Viber mobile and landline numbers at low rates. Viber is available for many smartphones and platforms. On Viber, your phone number is your ID.
