It\u2019s a massaging application that lets you exchange text, files, videos, images, audio messages, and make calls in video or audio formats. The app supports two types of chats, dialogues and groups, and channels with an unlimited number of participants. It is free and reliable, which attracts customers globally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The service has invited 820+ million monthly users. Viber created a security system, including protection protocols, encryption, and other features that help customers. Some of them may be inconvenient, like the phone number requirements during the registration of a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viber account<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15502\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Main-Image-The-New-Viber-1-1024x536.png\" alt=\"The New Viber\" width=\"843\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Main-Image-The-New-Viber-1-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Main-Image-The-New-Viber-1-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Main-Image-The-New-Viber-1-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Main-Image-The-New-Viber-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_is_viber_feature-wise?\"><\/span>What is Viber Feature-wise?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How did the app manage to attract and handle such a broad audience?

So, what is Viber feature-wise?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiplatform capabilities: use messenger across several devices, shift calls among them, show the screen from the desktop in video calls, chat when your mobile is off.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The monthly Viber Out tariff lets you call people across 57 countries even if they haven\u2019t installed the app.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well-established connection and stability during calls or texting.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has a broad collection of things that aren\u2019t unique, but still, make the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viber account<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> user\u2019s experience contemporary. They include notification settings, erasing a message for everybody, enabling invisible status, opening a secret chat, customizing pictures, creating custom stickers, sharing your location, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can set up the light or dark interface theme, change your chat\u2019s backdrop, or even set your own one. Overall, the app\u2019s developers made a good rationale to create a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viber account<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. To do it, you must pass a registration procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"viber_account_registration_%e2%80%94_explained\"><\/span>Viber Account Registration \u2014 Explained<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"96\" data-end=\"442\">To get access, you need to specify a mobile number and verify it with a 6-digit code. Then, you enter your name, birth date, and email. You can optionally set a profile picture and choose whether to receive updates from the developers. After that, you grant the necessary permissions, such as access to photos, and start using your Viber account.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"444\" data-end=\"810\">These requirements exist because of security concerns. The app serves a huge number of users, so the developers collect this data to prevent fraud, scams, and spam on the platform. The system does not publish any data openly; it stores everything on anonymous corporate servers. You can find details about their security measures and practices in the Privacy Policy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"1079\">Phone numbers support the app\u2019s main security feature \u2014 E2E encryption, which protects both the sender and the receiver of chat messages. But do you really need a phone number for Viber? No, you don\u2019t. You can replace every piece of information, including the number.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1081\" data-end=\"1355\">You can use auto-generated emails, names, and dates of birth, and even create a virtual phone number. A virtual number works like a regular phone number but runs on cloud-based technology instead of a physical SIM card or device. It suits users who want more privacy online.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_to_create_viber_account_without_a_phone_number\"><\/span>How to Create Viber Account without a Phone Number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many providers can help you register in Viber without phone number. Virtual numbers are a legal, reliable, and stable option to bypass the strict registration requirements. Viber won&#8217;t know that you sent an auto-generated number because the system can&#8217;t track it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15500\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/virtual-phone-number-for-viber-1024x646.png\" alt=\"virtual phone number for viber\" width=\"843\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/virtual-phone-number-for-viber-1024x646.png 1024w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/virtual-phone-number-for-viber-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/virtual-phone-number-for-viber-768x485.png 768w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/virtual-phone-number-for-viber.png 1380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>So, here is a step-by-step guide on how to create an account this way:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">sms-man.com<\/a>, register, or log in.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replenish your account balance with a small sum.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press \u2018Buy SMS\u2019 on the front page.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose the service (Viber), and your country.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find the number in your archive, copy it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Submit if while registering a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viber account.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Request an SMS in your cabinet, tap it in the app\u2019s menu.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"faq\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do_i_need_a_phone_number_to_use_viber?\"><\/span><strong data-start=\"90\" data-end=\"136\">Do I need a phone number to use Viber?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes.
