Viber iPhone

Free text, voice, and video messages, as well as free calls

There are loads of chat and instant messaging applications out there to use to communicate with friends and family. WhatsApp is definitely a must on all smartphones because with over a billion users it's hard to conceive a device without it. To a lesser extent we also have to mention Facebook Messenger, and then the rest come long, applications that are downloaded and installed as a complement for the WhatsApp: LINE, Telegram, Kik...

Messaging app with VoIP features

Among the latter, we also have to mention Viber, an app that although it offers us the possibility to send text messages to chat with our contacts, it also comes along with functions that make it a possible alternative to Skype, since its main advantage is that it offers us the chance to make free phone calls and video calls.

This application, that also has versions for PC, Mac, Android, as well as iOS, offers us the possibility to call contacts that also use it for free, as well as sending them short voice and video messages (up to 30 seconds long). The truth is that Skype allows us to call any phone, whether landline or mobile, but Viber is still a great option if you want to save money on your phone calls.
