Our long article about Viber has more than a quarter million readings, but we have to admit, I do not complain much of the decision. We do not use all that we write about, or would have long gone crazy. But recently, after learning that Viber (they say Vayber, Viber) sit absolutely everything, I decided to give him a chance, and for several days I remain ecstatic!
Why this your Viber, if you have a regular phone?
Recently I conducted an experiment. I raschertil board into two halves. On one side I wrote "Useful Calls", and on the other - "napryazhno calls." After that I regularly pick up the phone during business hours for three days. During these days, I received about 40 calls from unknown numbers. Only two sticks were on the side of "Useful Calls" (it was a courier delivery and the bank employee, who duplicated the call e-mail). The rest - incomprehensible conference, Some news and events, strange people got hold of my number somewhere. so I He refused to phone.
Development Viber is carried out in Belarus, which does not add optimism about its future.
But the family we speak on the phone, but I hate the idea of per minute billing. How enraged with the internet payment MBs, so now enrages a phone. And paid SMS-ki, too enraged. Not worth it, the road operator.
Role in the future of mobile operators have long defined and clearly marked whether they like it or not:
Operator - a water company with pipes and plumbing. Instead of water - Internet traffic.
For this pipe the Internet I pay fixed-fee your service provider and want to use it only. My cameraman - a Kyivstar, which has no 3G and no 4G. There is only EDGE average quality, which lives Viber. Many people tell me that the voice quality is better than GSM mobile communications. I am sure that 3G is still steeper. Naturally, that describe what you everywhere one number regardless of the country and the operator or the country of residence. Only Establish an internet connection and all your Viber-chums reach you. Working here and posts. If interested read our review.
Why this your Viber, if you have Skype?
I was a fan of Skype. But now forgotten the phone running Skype - reducing operating times tripled. A start-up Skype... It's a real launch of the spacecraft when I just need to jump. Everything is so warmed up, it begins LOADING... and magic have to wait. Tired of waiting. I want to call from the phone.
Our hero Viber installed on the phone just hangs somewhere in the background on "pushah". It's the message? Again - and I read. Up? Second, and we are already talking. And there is this theme:
A: Are you on Skype?
B: Yes, but what?
A: I schA you will type ...
B: Well, I'm waiting.
You just call and a 90% chance the person responsible. On the phone.
And no need to do this:
A: What is the cha nickname on Skype?
B: megapixar2013
A: Through the "X" or the "ha"?
B:% ^ & *% @ & * # @)
If a person entrusted you with their phone number, it just appears in your Viber, if it is installed it.
What is bad?
There is one drawback - the product is owned by the same company and it has everything that is happening there. Very uncomfortable at the thought. I want some TOR-solutions for telephony and messaging. But until I found - the same convenient and easy. Development Viber is carried out in Belarus, which does not add optimism about its future. Especially when you consider that what level personal data It is dealing application.
How do you solve the described problems for yourself?
