As the popularity of Viber expands, you are probably wondering how to create a Viber account or maybe you are asking to get started with this app. If that’s the case, we will be showing you how to go about it.
Like Whatapp, Viber is a messaging app, that you actually use to both send messages to your friends and family and you can also use app to receive messages. This app works on your mobile number, just like Whatapp. There’s no doubt that we all love our privacies, that’s why we don’t like sharing our contact. So the big question is whether we can open a Viber account with our email or not.
Interestingly, this app doesn’t require much detail to actually create an account; all that is required is your phone number, just like that of Whatapp.
What is Viber?
This app is actually one of the first messaging apps that were launched in 2010 even before Line and Messenger. This app is free to use and focuses more on calling when compared to others. The VoIP feature that is called Viber Out, actually allows users, to call both mobile lines and landline numbers.
Around 2014, this app was acquired by Rakuten for $900 Million. At that time, this app had about 300 million users as compared to 1 billion today. Although, it worth mentioning that they have only 260 million active users per month. The popularity of Viber is concentrated in Eastern Europe and Asia.
This app has three main panels in the Viber app. The chat panel contains conversations with contacts, the Business account, and Viber communities, and just like Facebook Messenger, ads will periodically be shown in the chats list.

The call panel of this app reveals contact and recent calls. Here, the users of this app can actually add a new contact and also invite some of their friends to the app. With this, users can make calls to their contact through Viber or place calls to a contact phone number using credits.
The more panel of the app contains everything else like settings; it is actually used to promote the stickers market. Keep in mind that the sticker market isn’t as large as stickers online, the price for stickers is quite expensive and of course, this is to promote Viber out.
