Well, I can't help you on that one, but maybe you can have it as another
option along with Skype like I have. For example some of us are on
Skype, some are on Viber, others may be using both.

Hi Chris,
Could you explain why I might want to use Viper instead of Skype? Skype is
fully accessible, I can do Skype-to-Skype voice or video calls, instant
messaging or, if I have Skype credit, use it for relatively inexpensive
international calls or sending SMS messages to some countries is also
cheaper than using the regular carrier's text messages. In the latest
version switching from earpiece or headphone to speakerphone is even easier
and just requires a single double tap. I'm interested in finding out if
Viper offers something Skype doesn't.
Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: Some good news for potential and existing Viber users!
Good evening all
I have great news for potential and existing Viber users.
Calling a contact on Viber is absolutely a breeze.
I called a friend from messages we have exchanged. Although the call didn't
go through (after ten times the call will end), he did at least get a
notification to say he had an incoming call.
So he rung me back using the recents tab of Viber, which absolutely
resembles the recents tab of the phone app, so no problem there! He opened
Viber by double tapping on the above notification.
Anyway, I then got an incoming call, but because Viber was in the app
switcher, it was just a case of double tapping on the app then double
tapping on the answer button. By the way, nice ring tone they have!
Using headphones along with the phone's mike, the call went very smoothly.
Quality was excellent. No breakups or drop outs, someting familiar with
cellular calls, and I was even able to activate the speaker by double
tapping on the speaker button! I was also able to end the call with a double
tap of the end button. Not sure if two finger double tap works here to both
answer and end a call.
So as you can see, calling with Viber is very accessible and easy to do.
But may I suggest you wear headphones as you could inadvertently activate
the phone when using the earpiece. Also, may I suggest you either mute
speech with a three finger double tap or turn VoiceOver off altogether with
the triple click home method if you have that set. I found this out the hard
way when VoiceOver blasted out a notification through my headphones. Lol!
Anyway, hope this is useful. Just submitted this guide to Applevis.
Enjoy!
