Free Chat And Call To Your Mobile Contacts From PC Using Viber


Many of you would already be familiar with the Skype, which is a Chat / VOIP messenger. Viber is another very famous multi-platform chat messenger which people can use it on the iPhone, IPad, Android cell phones / tablets, Blackberry, Nokia phones, Windows phones and Bada devices. In Viber you can chat with your friends, share pictures, record and send video clips, share locations, make voice calls to Viber users using Wifi / 3G Internet connect and many more. If you have never tried Viber on your cell phone, then I highly recommend to give it a try at least and then let me know in the comments section (at the bottom of the page) what you think about it.

Viber New PC Software
 
Recently Viber has updated its cell phone app and has also launched a software for Windows and Mac PCs. Using the PC software, now users can :
 
1. Chat with their mobile contacts.
2. Make Voice Calls to the Viber users.
3. Make Video Calls only with Desktop Viber users.
4. Transfer Viber voice calls from Desktop to Cell phones and vice versa.
5. Send pictures which are saved locally on their PC.
6. Contacts and chat conversations syncs in-between their Mobile and Desktop applications.


Why To Use Viber

It's not because I am saying so you have to give it a try, but because there are more than 200 million users who actually are using Viber on their cell phones. We are in an era where Android and IPhones are everywhere, and apps like these cuts down your mobile bills a lot. I myself using Viber for a long time and I should say that it's getting better and better. Especially after this recent update from Viber, it has improved a lot and I am enjoying using it. If you are still confused, then lets see if below features can impress and push you to give it a try at least.  
 
Note: This is not an article about how to use Viber on the Cell phone, but I am highlighting some of the features of Mobile version of Viber, which are interesting enough to convince someone for installing it on the cell phone, which is compulsory before installing it on the PC.

1. Since Viber is a biggest competitor of Skype, many people find its voice and video quality much better than Skype.

2. It's 100% Free on all the devices. All you need is an Internet connection on your Cell Phone / PC and you can make calls to your contacts (who should have Viber installed on their device) using a regular Internet Connection.
 

3. Viber is very simple to use. Once you install Viber on a cell phone, it automatically checks your contacts list (address book) and makes a separate list of those people who are using Viber on their cell phones. This makes it easy for you to instantly chat and call to your friends without actually adding and sending requests to each of your friend individually. Otherwise in other messengers (including Skype) you have to manually search and add your friends, and then have to wait for your friend to accept the request.

4. Another thing what I like about Viber is, as soon you install Viber on your cell phone, it will send a notification to all of your friends who are using Viber (it will check your contact list). Likewise, whenever you add a new contact in your Cell phone and if that new contact is using Viber, then it will automatically update your friends list as well.

5. It's AD Free. You will not find any kind of AD in the Cell phone or Desktop Application at all.

6. You don't have to open Viber each time when you turn on your Cell phone. It automatically turns on and runs in the background without draining your battery.

7. Viber has also introduced STICKERS, which are kind of big emoticons and makes your chat conversations more interesting. Currently these stickers are not supported by the Desktop version of the Viber, but you can expect it to be available very soon.
 

8. The emoticons of Viber are also interesting and fun to use.
 
 
9. The new version of Viber also allows you to transfer your voice calls from your Mobile to the Desktop software without actually disconnecting the call (this process is vice versa). 
 
10. Using Viber on your Cell phone, you can send / receive pictures, share your current location on the map and can also send a video clip of yourself.
 

11. You can also do group conversations in Viber, which makes your conversations more interesting.
