As technology improves and Internet connections become faster, services which originated as expensive luxuries have slowly become accessible to everybody – for free. One example of this is the Viber for iOS app, which makes calls and text messages completely free, so long as you have an Internet connection.

The Viber app allows you to send unlimited free messages and make unlimited free calls from across the globe, via any network or supported device.

Additionally, Viber keeps you updated socially with photo supported instant messaging, profile status updates and more.

How to use Viber for iOS

To download Viber for iOS, visit the app store or the official Viber iTunes page. Once you have successfully installed the app on to your iOs device, you will be presented with the Viber welcome page. Tap “Continue” to proceed to the set up page.

Viber will then ask for your mobile number. Ideally, you should use the number on your current device, or one nearby. This is due to the fact that Viber will send you an SMS containing a verification number. Once you have enteredt your phone number, tap “Continue”.

A verification window will then be displayed. Review your mobile phone number, and tap “Ok” to proceed.

Once you have received your Viber access code, enter it in the access code box, and press “Enter Viber”.

Once you have entered Viber for the first time, a window asking for permission for Viber to access your phone contacts will appear. Click “Ok” so that you can connect with your contacts who have Viber installed. You may then choose to sign up using Facebook, or by simply inputting your name. Click “Continue” to complete the set up process.

Once you have signed up, Viber will show you your Viber contact list, To connect with any one of them, simply tap their name or photo. The layout is strikingly similar to the standard iOS phone contact interface, and thus you should have no trouble adjusting to the Viber menu.

Once you click on a friend, Viber will dislay their name and image, along with the option to call or text – for free. Viber also allows you to select certain contacts as favorites.
