I used Rakuten Viber just once to make an international call from the UK to Portugal, but soon after, I received an email saying “Welcome to Viber, thanks for the subscription” — even though I n... See more

I can't even access the account after paying the subscription. This is the worst thing that can happen!!!! I can't even do anything, I'll have to speak with my credit card provider and block the bills. Jesus Christ!!!! Freaking FRAUD.
Refused to cancel subscription
I bought a subscription without issue. I couldn't log in, or reset my password.
Attempted to email to cancel because of this. My request was ignored several times, before I chose to force the cancellation via my bank.

Terrible website / app and customer service.
I got this to make calls but the quality was terrible. I then cancelled my subscription 2 months ago and keep getting charged.
They say my subscription is cancelled and I am not getting charged but I clearly see this on my bank account.
They’re telling g me to just cancel my card to resolve the issue. What idiots.
Charged Twice, Got No Credit
So hacked off. Tried to buy a package, it glitched, told me there was no internet connection, then appeared to charge me twice! Got two receipts from Google Play, though it appears they've only taken one payment from my bank. But when I go to the app it's telling me I have no credit and need to buy a package! Can't get sensible assistance from either Viber or Google Play. Won't be using again or recommending.
1/5 stars
1/5 stars - ABYSMAL SUPPORT EXPERIENCE!
I'm shocked and disappointed by the utter lack of proper support from Viber's team. Since July 23, 2025, I've been struggling with a non-received activation code issue, and despite multiple attempts to reach out to support, I've been met with a mind-numbing cycle of 'wait 12 hours' responses. It's been over 72 hours, and I'm still waiting for a resolution. I’m handicapped to contact while overseas due to complete absence of proactive troubleshooting.
2 minutes of other side talking we're played out 3-4 times to me
I had almost 9€ and called from Germany to Serbia. I could hear the other side for 2 minutes and after that those 2 minutes were played out to me 3-4 times from the beginning after my question. I was talking to my grandmother so I was doubtful what is going on. So now I'm sure it's a scam. Very disappointing
A joke messaging app
A joke messaging app
From all the messaging apps this is the worst - cluttered with unnecessary features, heavy on memory and crashing all the time - a complete joke of an app. It can’t get more unreliable and clumsy.AVOID
Scam
What a f. scam.
Don't put any money, the onboarding process is always broken so you can't ever get to use it. Probably made that way so people just get tired of trying and lose their money.
It is Garbage- I reinstalled it to use…
It is Garbage- I reinstalled it to use it as a substitute for Skype for International calls- all I receive is that the number is invalid.
Nice app and price are fair
Nice app, I used to call Dubai from Italy and worked perfectly fine. Fair price and fluid call. Recommended.
Don't bother
Tried 2 different numbers and couldn't register, says the numbers were used by scammers apparently.
When I eventually managed to register, it blocked the subscription.
Pile of rubbish
Customer service is non existent, you need to wait for them to reply 1+ day, no instant chat at least. If I needed an urgent call, what's the point?
Luckily another provider worked and had no call lag. I tried viber before in the past and the call lag was bad
Really bad experience
Really bad experience! Glad I didn't charged more than the 4.99.
Using it for international call, it called other numbers randomly instead of the one I called.
Viber out - useless due to instability - hopeless support
Hi
Now again today calling any viber out contact fails right away.
So far here in June viber out intra DK calls to Danish landline and mobile numbers have not been possible for several days - 3 complete outages.
I have made tickets each time, but never received any solution - tickets just closed without explanation or response.
So I certainly can not recommend viber out and I will switch to another deskphone on windows and iOS.

Absolutely useless
Absolutely useless. Keypad doesn’t work. You can dial the number but then you can’t use it. I called abroad to the customer service and chose option 1. Nothing. Again. Nothing. Cleared cookies. Nothing. But each time they happily charged me for a call. App deleted. Serious waste of money.
DONT use
DONT use: scammers. YOU CAN"T CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. There is NO customer service: won't even reply. The system first accepted my phone number and e-mail for a subscription, and then it DENIED it to login saying it's not a good phone number LOL. Now i'm stuck with a subscription i can't cancel and can't reach them, Is someone going to cancel my subscription? absolute scumbags. Time for legal steps i guess.
Brother you are a SPAM untill your support team is not active
Created an account on viber as skype is gone thought it would be a better option ever since I have created an account here and opted for viber out and paid money to them
Everyday it is same story
Contact support and pledge them to unblock my viber out account
Unblock my number
And it has been 2-3 weeks that I following the same pattern
They reply we will get back to you in 48 hours and no body reply
As no body is willing to
EVEN IF YOU THINK IN YOUR MIND TO MESSAGE OR CALL FROM VIBER OUT IT WILL BLOCK THEIR APP AND GIVE YOU TJE REASON YOU ARE THINKING TO SPAM
I mean what the hell on earth you are invented for
MY VIBER SUPPORT TICKET #8514825 is pending from past weeks and no one is willing to solve it
Government office and employees are far far better in their decipline than the viber staff at least they don't so much time to complete work.
There is an option for bb too
Fraud alert!!!
Fraud alert!!!! Every day trying to extract money from my bank . Why is this company not being investigated ????
The ID is different than your original…
The ID is different than your original one and you can't use for business or to call any call centre , the receiver can't recognize you . The customer care confirms this issue as " For various reasons outside of Viber's control, the phone number might be displayed as 'unknown' or incorrectly.
Unfortunately it is an issue out of our reach"
Viber customer care non existent

This is a worldwide scam
This is a worldwide scam. It has been set up as a scam. I’m sure the company does nothing to facilitate calls, it is just about taking money for nothing.
After a lengthy sign up process I got on the app, paid for Viber Out credits - money they happily accepted! - to then be told I’m a suspected Spammer immediately after, before I’d made any calls or done anything!
I went through an unblocking process successfully and was told I would be back on within an hour. 24 hours later nothing.
I contact their support team for help. No reply ask now I go back on the app and ive been logged out. Any attempt to use the same number or log back in just fails with no reasoning.
They purposely take money and then block people and remove them before they offer a service. Who knows what else they’ve taken from me now they have my number, email and personal details.
Stay away - this is not a real company.
