How to Activate Viber Account without a Phone Number?

Viber remains widely popular among Russian-speaking users, alongside Telegram and WhatsApp. It allows you to send messages, documents, media files, and make audio and video calls for free. The interface of this messenger is simple and user-friendly, even for older users. All you need is an Internet connection to start communicating.

This software currently supports the following operating systems:

• iOS
• Android
• Windows
• macOS

Regardless of the operating system you choose, SMS verification is still mandatory. It remains impossible to use Viber without a phone number or to create an additional account without a second SIM card. According to the service’s policy, one phone number equals one Viber profile.

In this article, we will take a closer look at how to activate Viber without a personal SIM card using virtual phone numbers across different devices.

Creating Viber without a phone number on Android

Activation of Viber without any phone number is not possible. The system will always ask you to enter a code received via SMS. Since your phone number acts as your user ID in Viber, creating an account without any number on Android is technically impossible. However, you do not need to purchase a new SIM card for a second account. There is a more convenient and affordable solution.

You can use services that offer virtual numbers to install and activate the app on Android. One of the popular services is SMS-Man, known for offering some of the lowest prices on the market. SMS verification via sms-man.com costs approximately $0.08–$0.17.

This platform provides a wide range of mobile operators from different countries, supporting registration for more than 190 services, including Viber. That’s why we recommend sms-man.com.

Step-by-step guide to create a Viber account without a personal SIM card on Android:

1. Download and install Viber from Google Play.

2. Register at sms-man.com.

3. Then, go to the “Top up your balance” section and add funds in a convenient way.

4. Return to the homepage, find the Viber service, and select it.

5. Choose a suitable virtual number and confirm it.

6. Go to “History” on the website and copy your purchased number.

7. Open Viber and enter the virtual number during the registration process.

8. Return to sms-man.com, click “Get SMS” in your personal account.

9. Copy the verification code received and enter it into the app.

Done! Activating Viber on Android this way usually takes less than 7 minutes.

How to install Viber without a SIM card on a PC?

The registration process on a PC remains very similar to a smartphone. However, it is important to note that installing Viber directly on a computer without having it on a mobile device is not possible. When logging in on a PC, the service now requires you to scan a QR code from the screen using the mobile Viber app, instead of entering a verification code via SMS.

Therefore, you first need to install Viber on your smartphone, following the steps outlined above.

Step-by-step guide to activate Viber on a PC:

1. Visit the official Viber website: https://www.viber.com
2. Click “Download” and select your operating system (Windows or macOS).
3. Install the program by running the downloaded file.
4. Launch Viber and scan the QR code displayed on your computer screen.
5. Open the Viber app on your smartphone.
6. Tap “More” in the lower menu.
7. Tap the QR code icon in the upper-right corner.
8. Align the camera view with the QR code on the PC screen to sync your devices.

Now Viber is fully synced with your PC!

Thanks to services like sms-man.com and the built-in QR code scanning feature, you can easily install and use Viber on any device without linking your personal SIM card.
