Hi Viber Team,
Registered for Beta-testing and installed the APK... can't go past the "enter your phone number and press 'Continue':" screen.

Tab, ACE , S2, Wildfire S
Viber is very similar to whatsapp. Unlike Skype, viber no need to sign in. Work like whatsapp. Been a while iPhone is having it.

After subscribing at http://eepurl.com/bW1Ln you simply need to wait several weeks from our invitation email. Once you get it, you will be asked to fill out a form verifying the same details as the original subscription, and then you will be sent to download the APK and complete your installation.
If you get the APK without following this exact procedure (in the *exact* same order), you will NOT be able to activate.
Our waiting list is long, so a little more patience is needed

There should be no problem recognizing users from other countries. Please specify what country you and your friend abroad live in, and provide me with the number FORMAT of both you and your friend.
Thanks.
i'm a viber beta tester in italy.
I'm using viber with galaxy tab. Works very good both in 3g or in Wifi. I can call viber user crossing platform. From Galaxy to iphone 4 and viceversa. Message works too.
Actually the only thing that not works "very well" is Notification Icon that suddenly re-appear even if i have select "no notification in status bar".
The autoupdate of Viber contact and the last one the calling popup that stay behind the opened application. If i'm on opera or other application i can hear the call ring but i have to close opera to see the viber application with button to answer or reject.
But i'm very satisfied of Viber as a beta.
Well its works great on my galaxy tab I have had only 3 crashes so far but that was when I was on froyo .... also before u update any of the viber beta update make sure u uninstall the old version or u will get force close ...
When will tablet version be added or would I say full supported if I may ask pls ??

Hi Viber folks!
I subscribed to beta few weeks ago.
I had an Archos 70it at that time, and app was not working
Now i changed to a Toshiba Folio 100, and would to try it again.
I just download the viber apk file, installed, but it is still not working (not start)... is it viber working just in presence of a phone module?
Because if so, it will be very pity! Besides, Skype and Fring works like a charm...
EDIT:
My toshiba Folio is mounting a 2.2 version of android...
I think i found what's the problem:
I got the confimation email for subscription, but never received email for download from Viber..

Hi,
Thanks for developing such a great app... I love it.. and it's working fine on my Tab.. I do have a question though.. when will Viber support Bluetooth headsets?
thanks!
1. @riccardoroma - we are aware of the notification icon bug. we fixed that, and it will be implemented in the next beta version.
2. full support for tablet - we don't know yet. For now we are focusing on fixing general bugs with all devices, so it might take a little while.
3. @spino1970 - In order to activate Viber, you need subscribe to be a beta-tester, get the confirmation email, then wait (several weeks) for our INVITATION email. inside that mail you will have a form to fill, and only then you will be able to download the APK (if you get the APK without this process, you won't be able to complete your installation). We ask for your patience
4. About bluetooth - we haven't fully tested the integration of Viber with BT. it will work better and better in future versions.
I received an invitation for Viper test Android version from the Software installation has completed and test capabilities.
But when 2 days the SDCard and backup my entire file corrupt. And Viper application and SMS activation code are missing from re-flash ROM.
I would like to know how I can install this Viper application and send activation code for me again. And then I tried to downloading the Viper application from the email that was sent for me sometime.
>>> To download the beta version of Viber for Android, follow this link:
>>> h t t p : / / w w w . v i b e r . c o m / a n d r o i d - b e t a /
>>> Best Regards,
>>> Viber Team”
When you click a link appears registration page I've put information until then, it has text below.
>>> “The Viber Beta for Android can only be accessed with a single phone number.
>>> You will be able to use Viber with more numbers when it is officially released for Android.
>>> Thank you for your patience.”
@tivgnos
Try installing Viber and enter the exact same telephone number as the one you originally registered with.
Otherwise, I'm afraid there isn't really a way for me to help you other than subscribing to be a beta tester again
Ok, I already installed and received activation code.
re: invitation
hi! I subscribed to beta program 2 days ago.. When do I'll receive the invitation?
Thanks, and sorry for poor english, I'm Italian

Thank You,
How is the development going on. Any new updates. I have removed the app since the gateway is not working for Kochi, Kerala. If you could gateways like fullonsms, way2sms ultoo. Then it will be great. They are the fastest one sms delivers. Other gateways sometimes send msgs. But I wonder where its going to without receiving in mobile.
Sending sma does not work for me...i tried many time...

Nice App!!
First of all, thank you for giving a mirror!
Unfortunately, the person I've texted didn't recieve any msg till now. This is probably a fault on YouMint's side, not the app. So, please include some other popular gateways (Way2sms, for example)
For the app itself, it's nice. I tried many apps from playstore (especially Free SMS India, now discontinued), but none of them worked. So hoping that this will work nicely.
The interface is pretty, unlike those apps I've tried before (A little girly though, but doesn't matter ); and it's simple, making it easy to use.
Some suggestions:
1. As mentioned before, please include some more gateways.
2. Implementation of emojis like other messengers would be nice.
3. A silly one, but why don't you remove the white background from the app icon? Only the "W" might be nicer.
Hoping for some new updates.

Problem
I am having a problem with the app.
I'm in Spain and when I make a call, always dial the same number: +34 911980824 The telephone operator tells me that number does not exist.
No matter what number I try to call any country. The app always does the same.
Any idea what causes this?.
EDIT: By the way, I edit the post to indicate that I purchased airtime.
Guys, can you make it available in Kuwait and in India?
Thanks

Hey to all members here,
We have just released Call+ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.call.plus
The app uses data to place calls anywhere in the world. It comes with a full free day.
To get additional days simply complete an action and get 24hours of worldwide calling on mobiles or landlines.
We created this app to fill a gap between Google Voice and WiFi calling.
I've been on XDA for 10 years (yeah!!) and would love your feedback on the app. We will make it perfect for you guys.
Feel free to post your feedback on this thread. I will randomly give away 1 month of free calling to interesting feedbacks or comments.
Of course, I would LOVE if you could leave a rating on the Play Store.
Thank you XDA and members.

Suggestions
Decent first version release.Very good call clarity.Impressed
Few things
Call log / recent is a must to quickly access the dialed numbers
Under contact, editing a contact would be great (just to add the country codes if the saved contact doesnt have)
T9 spped dial would be great as a feature
Favorites must be capable of adding a contact from the address book rather than having to type
Contact pics would help find contact easily.
Serbia and Montenegro
Please add Serbia and Montenegro to the coverage list :fingers-crossed:
Does it work with cellular data as well or only with wifi ?
Maybe this is a good substitute to zeroapp. Going to try it, thank you!

Call logs are available through settings-->call logs
Editing a contact is something we need to work on. You are right.
T9 speed dial in the works
Yes you can add a favorite directly from your contact list. Go to Call+-->contacts-->select a contact-->upon tap you have the option to call or add to favorite.
Contact pics not on the docket as we want to keep the app very light.
Thank you for your feedback. PM me your phone # you used for registration I'd like to give you a perk.

Yeah..Call logs are available but i meant to just click on it and i can call again so that i dont have to edit the country code if its not appended in my contact and also is there a way to clear the call log?
EDIT : I tried to add a contact to favorite as per your say but its not appearing under favorites section.A small bug probably?
And one more feature request would be to make the screen go off during taking and stay on the same screen instead of unlocking the screen and cutting the call post completion
I recently installed truecaller. I was satisfied with it but then a question raised in my mind: from where does the app collect the caller IDs. I installed the app on one of my friend's mobile & tried to search the numbers of my relatives which are present on my phonebook. I was surprised to see that he is getting my relative's nick names (As I saved their numbers on my phonebook) as search result. After searching on google I am preety sure that this app uploads the users caller ID as well as his phonebook to its server. Am I right?

It means that if anyone searches with the numbers of my relatives their names will be shown. Isn't it a great privacy concern?

Just think, who will search with the number? The one who already has the number will only search it to see who it belongs to yeah:? This is what truecaller works for, when someone calls you and you don't know their name, truecaller will show it to you.

You are not actually getting the concept of TC, bro this app is meant for this purpose.
Call receiving party has all rights to know who is calling them. or can search the number later to know who was it.

If you are calling someone or someone is calling you them its just a matter of picking the call. Then both of you will know each other's name. So true caller is just giving you that information few seconds earlier. And if its that big of privacy concern then uninstall it. Check truecaller settings. You can disable phone book upload from there. And its not that big of privacy issue. If you want to know other's details then be ready to give up yours. It works both ways. You can't just have everyone's info and not give yours.

You are not actually getting the concept of TC, bro this app is meant for this purpose.
Call receiving party has all rights to know who is calling them. or can search the number later to know who was it.

Then tell me why service providers don't tell us who called me? Even if I give them the number they says "Sir, I can't tell you the caller's name due to security reasons"

If you are calling someone or someone is calling you them its just a matter of picking the call. Then both of you will know each other's name. So true caller is just giving you that information few seconds earlier. And if its that big of privacy concern then uninstall it. Check truecaller settings.

I'm ready to give my details. But I don't want to give details of my phonebook contacts.

That seems a good solution. I'm using CM11 & I have built in privacy guard.

That number must not be in their data base.

built-in privacy guard is good in general. However, it just cuts off so some app crashes plus it is not as fine grained as xprivacy. But if it does your purpose, its good enoguh

No. They have those numbers in their database. they just don't want to tell us.

use privacy app to block contacts access or uninstall the app. but thats how this app works.
let me again explain you why its not such a big deal.
suppose you have my number in your phonebook. truecaller picks up my details from your phonebook. now it useless to htem at thye moment.
but when i will call someone who has truecaller (i am calling him/her that means chances are they already know my name and if they don't then they will know after they answer the call and i introduce myself. ) they will be able to see my name before they answer the call.
but if they stop using your, mine and everyone's phonebook then it will be useless app. it will have no purpose or use.

I understand bro. But sometimes, it is necessary to keep my number secret...
thahim said:
Just think, who will search with the number? The one who already has the number will only search it to see who it belongs to yeah:? This is what truecaller works for, when someone calls you and you don't know their name, truecaller will show it to you.
