Modern communication technologies are simply amazing variety. More recently, people were amazed at the functions of a simple mobile phone, and now they are using various gadgets to the full, which provide a lot of options for communicating from a distance. So, one of the first programs for video communication was the Skype program. Initially, a version for the computer was developed, and then it was "relocated" to mobile devices. Following him, one after another, applications for communication using gadgets and various instant messengers were created, which allow a good saving on mobile communications. One of these applications was Viber, which is now at the peak of popularity. And in more detail about what this program is and how to install Viber on the phone, we will tell in this article.
What is Viber?
Over the past few years, Viber and Vatsap have led the way in free communication programs. The latter program is slightly behind in terms of functionality, but it may well compete with Viber. Viber is an application designed to exchange instant text messages and calls (by the way, using Vatsap you won’t be able to make calls). In addition to simple calls and video calls (these functions are free provided that they are connected to the Network), the program offers calls to landline numbers, but for a fee. Another undoubted advantage of Viber is that the developers were not limited to creating a mobile application. Relatively recently, a version of the program for the PC was released, which surprisingly works correctly, without errors, and many other call applications can envy the quality of communication. Even if the Internet connection is rather slow, Viber still perfectly transfers data. In addition to regular text messaging, users have the opportunity to use emoticons or unique stickers specially designed for the application. It is also possible to send pictures or, for example, videos. A bright and intuitive interface is constantly pleasing to each client. So how to use Viber on your phone?
Which phone can I install Viber on?
If you draw a parallel with the Vatsap application, it was developed a little earlier than Viber, and was compatible with many phone models, even such as Nokia S40. Viber for a Nokia phone of such a model will no longer be installed, in addition, their support for the application is already becoming a thing of history, as is the production of the devices themselves. The program is perfectly installed on phones running Android and IOS, and you can also download it for free. I want to note that due to the multifunctionality of Viber the phone should hold a charge well and have a powerful battery. In addition, Internet connection is best done via Wi-Fi. If you use the mobile Internet, it can go a penny if the traffic is not unlimited.
How to install Viber on the phone?
Installing the application on the phone is easy even for an inexperienced user. To do this, go to one of the content stores (for IOS it will be the AppStore, and for the Android OS - the Play Market). “Viber” in Russian can be downloaded to the phone directly from the browser, from the official website of the program, or simply drop the apk-file onto the phone, but this will be much more problematic. Therefore, it is better not to dwell on these methods and apply them only if for some reason you cannot go to one of the official stores. To understand how to use Viber on your phone, you need to go through a simple registration.

A distinctive feature of this messenger is the ease of registration. Unlike other similar programs, you do not need to enter either an email address or a password. Your Viber account is tied to your phone number. To create an account, enter the program and enter the number, after which an SMS message with a short confirmation code will be sent to it. After entering it in the appropriate field, you can consider the registration completed. Now you know how to install Viber on your phone. But where to start communication?
Application features
Immediately after registration you can see the list of contacts. It consists of numbers that are already recorded in your phone book and are users of the Viber program. You can immediately write to one of them or call. The advantage of the application can be considered that you do not need to come up with additional nicknames. All Viber contacts will be signed as you called them.
If you wish, you can block a specific user, and then he will not be able to contact you through the program. In user settings you can set an avatar (photo) that other users can see. You also have the opportunity to add new contacts and save them.
