We weren’t able to hack all Viber systems, but most of it is designed for spying and tracking The Israeli-based “Viber” is spying and tracking you currently leads to a “403 Forbidden” page. In addition, their support webpage was defaced before the company took the page down. The Hacker News is reporting that communications app “Viber” has been hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army, a “pro-Assad hacker group”. The company makes its money by selling stickers and offering low-cost outgoing calls worldwide. Voice and video calls between Viber users are free (bar any data charges on LTE/3G). When a contact joins Viber, the service spots that their number is in your contacts app and sends you an alert to let you know. The USP of Viber is that no username is needed – only your mobile number. You can also transfer video calls between mobile and Desktop!

Make video calls from your phone to other Viber contacts on mobile or Desktop. More than 400 million Viber users text, call, and send photo and video messages worldwide over WiFi or 3G – for free With Viber, everyone in the world can connect. While video calling has been available on the desktop version of Viber for some time, the mobile app had previously been limited to voice, text and photo messages. Viber plans to make it so you can chat too in a future update.FaceTime and Skype have long been popular ways to make free video calls to your friends and family from your iPhone and iPad, but Viber has now joined the party. The problem here is that you can't participate in the chats yourself - you can only watch. It has a few celebrities and companies (such as Disney) you can follow to see what people are talking about. Viber lets you listen in on public chats with various themes such as Song of the Day or Disney Theme Parks so you can follow topics that interest you. I found that the video quality suffers somewhat with a poor connection, so Wi-Fi is the more ideal way to make video calls. Video calls are also free so long as both parties have Viber, and will work on a 3G connection or better. This means if you have a friend in London and you're in the United States, you can quickly figure out how much credit you will need for the amount of time you want to talk. What's nice about this feature is that it tells you how much it will cost to call various countries before you spend anything.

The app lets you add money to your Viber Out credit with a tiered pricing plan. If you want to call landlines or people who don't have Viber, you have the option to buy what it calls Viber Out.
