Useless app. Doesn't work. They are supposed to call us to activate, which doesn't happen. It's a scam . I am cancelling my account. But support is yet to contact me two days after contacting them.... See more

Customer Service reps are horrible to communicate with. Not only will Viber provide poor connection (disconnections, overlapping, repeating, beeping, etc.), but it will put up fake offers on the phone... See more

WARNING - – DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE UNTIL THIS IS FIXED

WARNING – DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE UNTIL THIS IS FIXED

I am writing this as a serious warning to others. I paid for a Viber subscription almost a year ago and I have never been able to use it, yet they continue to charge me every single month.

Order ID: 2157900367837581310

The system allowed me to register and PAY without any login. The number I used is a VOIP number from Sonetel, which I rely on while travelling because I do not have a normal mobile network. Payment was accepted immediately.

After paying, I tried to log in to actually use the service. Then suddenly the system said the same number was INVALID for login. So the number was good enough to take my money, but not good enough to access the account.

It gets worse:
You can ONLY cancel the subscription inside the dashboard.
But I CANNOT enter the dashboard.
So I am trapped in a loop where money is taken every month for a service I have NEVER been able to use.

I have contacted Viber many times via email, social media, and support channels. I have received ZERO responses. No help, no explanation, no human contact at all.

This is completely unacceptable.

What I demand immediately:

Cancel this subscription now
Refund all payments taken
Written confirmation that no more money will be charged

Until this is resolved I strongly advise people NOT to subscribe to this service. If something goes wrong, you may have no way to reach support or cancel, just like me.

I hope Viber finally responds here and takes this offline to solve it properly.

Unable to active and aweful support

I’ve never been able to activate Viber because I never receive the activation call or OTP. I tried again six months later with the same result. Support ignored my actual questions and kept sending copy-paste instructions to reinstall the app and resend screenshots I had already provided. They never checked whether their system even tried to call my number or if using a Swedish number in Bulgaria was the issue. I moved my customers to WhatsApp instead. Viber Support Ticket #13680890

In the response from Viber you can clearly tell that they did not actually read what I wrote once again, considering that I had already added the ticket number (that you see above).
Hello Felix, thanks for reaching out! Kindly provide your support ticket number from the email so we can look into it and expedite the process.

Viber it’s complete rubbish

Viber it’s complete rubbish. I use it to call abroad or travelling abroad to call landline numbers like consulates and utility companies. It’s totally useless as it cuts out after about 9 rings. Anyone who has the least bit of experience with Utility companies or government departments knows that you have to hold the call a lot longer than 9 rings to get through to somebody. Further I don’t understand why anyone would want to use Viber to reach mobile phones with apps like WhatsApp. Total waste of money.

Bad connection

I can't even call my friends. They are in the same city as me but I can't even answer calls and also he can't answer my calls. Most of the time my messages don't even go through including calls. Almost always, a few minutes into the call, my voice becomes delayed. Questions I said 10 minutes ago was answered 10 minutes late by my friend. And he only answered me 10 minutes after I said it. It also crashes all the time.

Service does not work and unable to cancel

I bought the trial package to test the service as Rakuten is a legitimate company in Japan. However, I have not been able to login to the account and the company prevents me from canceling the subscription! I have contacted customer support several times and gets ignored. Money still getting charged on my card, now I have to consider taking legal action. VERY BAD! Rakuten management, if you see this message fix this issue asap or your company will get blacklisted by customers!

Bought a package

Bought a package. Didn’t added the credit into my account. Couldn’t make the phone calls on Xmas day to family abroad who doesn’t have smart phones. Contacted customer service but had been ignored! AVOID IT

Poor service and accountability

I attempted to cancel my Viber subscription during the trial period but was unable to do so through the app because I could not complete account registration.

I contacted customer support before the renewal, clearly asking for the subscription to be cancelled. Instead of cancelling, I received repeated automated template responses telling me they had “resent the activation text”, despite the fact that I was explicitly asking to cancel, not activate the account.

I am now charged for a second month.

I have now contacted support three times, received no meaningful human response, and have been told to wait “up to 48 hours” while charges continue. At no point has my cancellation request been actioned.

This experience feels intentionally obstructive:

-Cancellation cannot be completed if registration fails
-Support ignores cancellation requests and sends irrelevant automated replies

Charges continue regardless

TLDR: I would strongly caution anyone against starting a trial unless you are prepared to dispute charges through your app store or bank.

Complete SCAM

Complete SCAM. Avoid at all cost. Wasn’t able to set up account. Got no response or help with this and now have been billed again after sending several requests to cancel my subscription. Received it. Awful company.

Viber is pretty useless

Viber is pretty useless. Tried using it to call my bank from overseas. No 'enter' on the number pad so couldn't enter my codes and when I hit the speakerphone button nothing happens. They could have swept the market after Skype went, but they're a complete disappointment.
