What it essentially is, is an App in App store, thats free and all it req is
ur phone number, then u can make VoIP calls with ur contact list. Don't
need to go thru multiple apps anymore!
You know those voice minutes you've been coaxed into buying for, like, ever?
Now would be an awesome time to bid 'em adieu. Out of nowhere, Viber has
swooped in to crush the dreams of Skype and every other VoIP provider out
there, and if these guys can reach critical mass, avid iPhone users will
certainly be able to buy a mobile plan with fewer minutes. It works as such:
install the free app on your iPhone, provide just your phone number (no "
registration" is necessary) and then fire it up. Viber uses your existing
contact and favorites list, and you can make Viber or standard voice calls
from within the app; naturally, a Viber logo pops up beside any contact who
is also a user, making it easy to see who you can VoIP call for free. As our
brethren over at TUAW point out, there's simply no catch to be found --
well, except for those of you counting your kilobytes on AT&T's newer,
metered data plans. Call quality was said to be excellent over 3G and WiFi,
and potentially best of all, gratis SMS and an Android version are both on
the way. Head on past the break if you need any additional convincing, and
tap that iTunes link to get your download on. So, AT&T, what's the value
proposition on those "rollover minutes" again?
