Staying in touch with the people who matter shouldn’t cost a fortune, drain your battery, or put your privacy at risk. Whether you are coordinating a project with colleagues across North America, planning a holiday with friends in Europe, or just catching up with family in Oceania, Rakuten Viber Messenger makes cross border communication incredibly effortless.

FREE MESSAGING AND HIGH QUALITY CALLS

Texting is just the beginning. Viber lets you send photos, voice notes, GIFs, and large files completely free of charge. But where the app really shines is its voice and video calling. You can make crystal clear, unlimited audio and video calls to any other Viber user on the planet. Need to get the whole crew together? You can host a massive video call with up to 60 people at once, making it perfect for both large family reunions and remote work meetings.

SECURE, ENCRYPTED CONVERSATIONS

Digital privacy is a massive priority these days, and you shouldn’t have to manually dig through your settings to protect your conversations. Viber features built in, end to end encryption that is turned on by default for all one on one calls, personal chats, and group messages. This zero knowledge security means your messages stay strictly between you and the person you are talking to nobody else, not even the developers at Rakuten Viber, can read your private texts or listen to your calls.

AFFORDABLE CALLS TO LANDLINES AND MOBILES

What happens when you need to call someone who doesn’t use the app? Maybe you need to ring a local restaurant in Paris to change a reservation, or call a traditional landline in Sydney. With the Viber Out feature, you can make incredibly low cost international calls to standard mobile phones and landlines. You can either buy prepaid minutes as you need them or grab a monthly subscription for specific destinations, allowing you to stay connected abroad without dealing with outrageous carrier roaming fees.

MASSIVE GROUP CHATS AND PUBLIC COMMUNITIES

If you have a massive network, the group chat functionality is built to handle it. You can create private groups with up to 250 members, complete with interactive polls, quizzes, and @mentions to keep the conversation organized. If you are looking to branch out, you can join massive public Communities and Channels. Whether you want to follow European football updates, global news, or travel tips, it is a great way to connect with thousands of people who share your exact interests.

FUN STICKERS, LENSES, AND HELPFUL TOOLS

Sometimes text just doesn’t capture the right vibe. You can completely personalize your chats using thousands of interactive stickers, custom GIFs, and highly entertaining augmented reality lenses. When a simple thumbs up is all you need, you can react directly to specific messages with emojis.

The app also comes packed with a few brilliant utility features. If you are sending sensitive information like a password or personal address, you can use disappearing messages that automatically delete themselves after a set time (ranging from 10 seconds to a full day). There is also a dedicated “My Notes” section where you can forward important links, jot down quick thoughts, and set reminders so you never miss an important event.
