Making calls using Viber to another Viber account is free, as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection. If you need to call another person who does not use Viber, you have to pay the appropriate call charges. Viber has a feature called Viber Out, which you can use to make calls with Viber to any outside number in most countries. You will need credits on Viber though, which are bought with real money, to make these calls.

Steps

Paying for Viber Credits on the Mobile App

Launch the Viber app. Look for the Viber app on your smartphone. It’s the app icon the purple background and with a phone inside a chat box. Tap on it to launch it.

Access the menu. From the bottom menu, tap the icon with the three dots to reach Viber’s extended menu.

Go to Viber Out. From the More menu, select the the “Viber Out” item.

Check your credit balance. The Viber Out screen displays your current Credit Balance. This is the amount of money you have for use with Viber Out. Calling using Viber Out costs real money, and you need to have some prepaid credits to use it.

Go to the Buy Credit page. If you don’t have any credit or would like to load some, tap the “Buy Credit” button beside your Credit Balance.

Select the amount of credit to buy. A menu of prepaid credit values will be displayed. You have three options to choose from: $0.99, $4.99, and $9.99. Tap the one you’d like to buy.

Pay for the credits. Follow the on-screen steps to complete your purchase. If you’re using an iOS device, the iTunes Store will process your payment. If you’re using an Android device, the Google Checkout will do that. Once the purchase is completed, the credit amount you’ve just bought will be added to your Credit Balance.
