Viber 2.0 Adds Free Text Messaging

Viber 2.0 Adds Free Text Messaging

Posted March 31, 2011 at 1:13pm by iClarified
Viber, an iPhone application that lets you make free phone calls to other Viber users, has been updated with free text messaging.

Viber is an iPhone application that lets you make free phone calls and send free text messages to other iPhone users that have Viber installed. When you use Viber, your phone calls to any other Viber user are free, and the sound quality is much better than a regular call. You can call any Viber user, anywhere in the world, for free and now also text them.


What's New In This Version:
1. Viber now has free text messaging!
Send and receive free text messages to and from all your Viber contacts. We've added a new tab called Messages. To send a text, simply select a contact from your list, and start texting for free.
● New "Free Text Message" button added to Viber contact details. Tap this button to send this user a free message.
● Viber will also notify you about incoming messages so you won't miss a word single text.

2. Favorites tab location changed
To view your 'Favorites' - go to the contacts tab, and tap the Favorites button at the top.

3. Improved calling mechanism
Now, you'll always know the status of your outgoing calls.
Once a call is placed, a "Calling" state will indicate that Viber is now connecting to the other party.
Once a connection is established, a "Ringing" state will indicate that the other party's Viber, is now actually ringing (note that a call can still be established even if you don't see the "Ringing" state).

4. Placing regular calls through Viber
A "Don't show again" option was added for to the "Place a regular carrier call" inform dialog.

5. Giving You More Control
A new option provides the ability to deactivate your Viber account, so that you can easily reactivate Viber with a new phone number.
Find this option under the 'More' menu.


You can download Viber - Free Phone Calls from the App Store for free.
