According to iTunes, with Viber, everyone in the world can connect. Wikipedia describes Viber as a proprietary cross-platform instant messaging voice-over-Internet Protocol application for smartphones developed by Viber Media. In addition to text messaging, users can exchange images, video and audio media messages. The client software is available for Windows, Mac, Android, BlackBerry OS, iOS, Series 40, Symbian, Bada, Windows Phone, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. Viber works on both 3G and WiFi networks.
I describe Viber in much simpler terms as the only, I repeat ONLY way I can stay in contact with my son, no matter where he is in the world. And it’s completely free! The only thing I can think of that you must know about Viber before you get too excited is that in order to connect with someone using Viber, they too must have the app. That’s pretty much it. Oh, and wait til you see the cool, funny emoji selection.
Here’s a quick video to see how to get started with Viber for iPhone. It really is quite simple:
