Viber is an application available for Android and iPhone which allows you to call anyone with the same app and a internet connection(WiFi or 3G). Viber is easy to use without the need to register or use of any kind of verification. Instead it uses your number to uniquely identify your device and enable you to directly use it to call or chat your contacts who also have Viber installed on their mobiles. The Viber App is free to use internationally and doesn’t consist any Ads to annoy users.
You can download the Viber app for your Android or iPhone from the respective market or use these links directly:

Viber App for Android

Also Viber easily goes through your contacts automatically and check the numbers to see if your contacts are already on Viber and send them a message that you’ve just installed the app and they can now call or send you message any time. Then the contacts which are already using Viber are listes as Viber Contacts.
With the ability to call freely while on internet, it also allows you to chat with your contacts. You can use this when you don’t want to call them directly or just send messages to your friends. Your friend will get the message instantly if they’re on internet or receive a message when they join a internet connection(WiFi or 3G).
The sound quality is good but it’ll depend on your connection speed or WiFi signal strength for you to clearly hear the partner and viceversa. If you have a low signal strength then you can use the chat feature to communicate.
You can also invite your friends to start using Viber using SMS, Facebook or Email. Build your contacts in Viber so that you’ll save lots on phone bills. And there are often lots of free WiFi hot-spots these days, so just use them to call your pals.

Thanks for the response. We really appreciate it.
Although i have a question.Do you plan to introduce a group chat feature into Viber anytime soon? then it would be just great.
We certainly do.
Group-chat is already in the works, and if everything goes as planned, it would be introduced in our next major update (2.2)

Hi Jon,
This is a known issue, and we’re currently working to fix it. An ICS compatible version should be available on Market within the next few weeks hopefully.

the Viber Team.

ICS issues on my end as well. Is it fixed yet.
Thanks
We’re doing our best so it is ready as soon as possible.
As you know, many fundamental changes were made on ICS (not only visual improvements). In order to adapt Viber to ICS the best way and make sure we don’t release a half-baked app, we need some time for developing and testing.
We estimate that the release would take up to several weeks, but we wouldn’t want to guarantee a specific release date at this stage.
Once we have any news we’ll keep you posted – we apologize for the temporary inconvenience.
