Founded by American-Israeli entrepreneur Talmon Marco, Viber is another cross platform/VoIPapp that lets users connect with the world freely. The software supports several desktop and mobile platforms, including Android, Mac, Symbian, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Microsoft Windows, iOS, Series 40, and soon Linux.
Viber offers the best HD quality calls and group messaging sessions for both 3G/4G and Wi-Finetwork users. A boon for emerging markets with low connectivity speeds, Viber promises clear calls even for connections as slow as 8 Kbps. The interface on Windows Phone was also upgraded to allow users place live tiles on their home screens.
Here are a few highlights:
- No invitations, alias, or registration required. Viber uses phone book data to connect you with existing friends.
- Offers better quality calls and video messaging using 3G or LTE, although slower data speeds are also supported
- Free text, video and photo messaging and location sharing
- Latest update brings in-demand features such as new stickers and emoticons, photo doodles, “seen” status, VoIP calling, message popups
- Version 3.1 supports Viber desktop application on Mac and Windows
- Seamless call transfers from phone to desktop, meaning you can make calls to a friend on your desktop without the call getting cut off
- Multi-language support
- Syncs with your current mobile device’s contacts
- 200M users in over 193 countries as of second quarter of 2013
- The app has some device-specific bugs, though (HTC One and MacBook Air)
Download Viber on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Nokia, Samsung Bada, Mac and Windows.
