Viber for Android and IOS

Hi all folks.
I've been using Viber now for more then 1 year and i think it's a great app for text messaging and for calling to other phones all for FREE, everywhere in the world.

To call for free and to message everyone in the world for free your friend must have the Viber app.

Anyone else been using it?

 

Of course....a brilliant piece of software.

 

Line.

 

Nope, why bother when there are free apps like Pinger that supports real cellphone numbers?

I do use Line, but only for group chat with a gaming guild I'm in. It has a much higher limit of number of users in a group than other apps.

 

wow.

I was talking about a WORLDWIDE app and not Pinger that works only in US and in Canada, duuh.

 

you won't regret if you use Viber as well.
try it and tell us about the app ?

 

Are you kidding me?

You want free outgoing calls worldwide to real phone numbers? Cause Pinger supports international SMS and incoming, which is more than enough. Plus anyone can install it and have a Pinger number.

But you want Viber for both parties instead for what superior features?

 

I guess you missunderstod me, Viber is for both FREE incoming and outgoing calls, while Pinger is use for only US & Canada numbers right ?

 

My English is too poor.....sorry !!

 

Who misunderstood who now? Pinger has free incoming from anywhere, free sms from/to anywhere, free outgoing to any US/Canada numbers (that includes the free Pinger numbers anyone anywhere can create). I only use Line for its superior group chat.

 

fine but Pinger can never beat Viber.

Only 172 291 using Ping but over 2 milion people are using Viber.
Visit google play and search for Viber, you'll see the info

 

when installing Viber on mobile platform, make sure to disable Google Analytics (go to Settings). By default it's on.

 

By default it's OFF.

But then again why disable Google Analytics? what's so dangerous with google analytics ?

 

By default it's ON.

If you do not want your information to be part of this statistical information gathering, you can disable Google Analytics using the application settings; visit the 'More' screen, tap settings, then disable Google Analytics Collect Data option.

Yeah, i've noticed it is ON by default on this latest version, but i don't think it was on the previous verion.
But you're right

 

that's ok

 

Viber is free to call and to send free text messages, but will there ever be a free call-video as well ?

Did anyone notice today's outage of Viber net? I'm asking as I don't know if it was an issue only in my country or in the worldwide scale.
