The iOS edition is bumped up to v4.1, while the Play Store app now sits at v4.1.0.665, and for both, the new Viber Out implementation is the major change. The Viber Out feature doesn’t arrive as a standalone app, but rather an update the desktop, iOS and Android versions. Indeed, the chart below shows just how many hundreds of percentage points one could save by switching to Viber, and considering that most calls go on for longer than the three minute examples shown, customers could potentially pocket a small fortune in money unspent.

We are currently exploring anti-spam measures that can extend those protections beyond Viber. The safety and protection of the privacy of our users remains our priority and policy. Skype already does this, as most of you will be aware, but Viber’s service purports to be a great deal cheaper. After investigation, we can assure that there has been no breach of data from within the Viber app. Viber has carved itself out a substantial portion of the market, and today, has launched Viber Out, which brings cheap outgoing calls to landline and mobile numbers across the world. The act of Skyping may have become synonymous with the act of VoIP communication, but it’s by no means the only service available to those looking to make cross-platform calls spanning continents.
