Viber is a great alternative to Skype. It is a phone application that lets you make calls to friends using the WiFi or 3G connection on your phone for free with good sound quality. Viber is available for Android and iPhone. The version of Viber for Android is available in the Android Market.
Viber lets everyone in the world connect freely. More than 40 million Viber users call, text, send photos and locations with each other worldwide – for free. Viber is completely free with no advertising.
The service offered by Viber, VoIP calls, offers truly interesting features highlighted in the segment where Skype is the leader. These features seemed attractive since you don’t have to register. Just enter your phone number to identify you Viber Android user.
You can get a good sound quality on calls as the vendor claims (Viber’s cutting edge technology ensures HD sound quality that is much better than GSM or a regular phone call). Viber just works, and lets you connect with your friends whose numbers you already have. It synchs with your mobile phone number and contact list to instantly show who already has Viber. Never again must you seek out your own contacts, create new usernames, or build new lists. The system automatically takes care of it.
VoIP calls are free if you are connected via WiFi. Otherwise the cost is based on your 3G rate plan as with these applications.
Viber for Android is now available on both iPhone and Android, and works to make calls between them, regardless of the system.
