viber or etisalat problem

Hi Viber,

Ive just recently relocated here in UAE 2 mos ago. Ive been using viber apps since I was in Singapore. And Im using the same smartphone I got from singapore telco. I subscribe to etisalat prepaid sim card, but I noticed everytime I send SMS outside UAE I was being charge with international SMS by etisalat eventhough I was connected thru wifi. I already raised complaint to Etisalat, but to no avail their support team cannot settle the issue. I try to remove and reinstall my viber apps but the same issue on intl sms charge still there. What is the root cause of this? Is there a bug on viber apps or etisalat system? Pls help. thanks

Hi,

If you were sending a Viber-to-Viber message, the message is free, regardless of the country to which you are sending the message. Viber does not have the ability to send an SMS message to a non-Viber user.

A non-Viber message will be sent as an SMS message, which goes through your phone service provider (Elistat). Any charges incurred from the SMS messages will be from Elistat, not Viber.

@Parya, Unfortunately, you will not be able to re-download Viber if you not meet the minimum requirement of iOS 6.

Viber cannot be downloaded from Apple App Store

Hi,
Today I have tried several times to download Viber to my cousin's iphone 4s (recent ios) but not succeeded. Download starts and near to complete a message appears saying something like "viber cannot be downloaded + try again ". Actually I live in Turkey. Please check this if no downloads to other countries than USA etc. Among others Viber is cutest and most powerful messaging app I have ever seen yet.

Hi,

I received a message with an activation code even though I never requested one from viber and my account has been activated long time ago and running smoothly.
Does this mean someone is tryin to hack into my account?

It is likely that someone with a phone number similar to yours is trying to activate Viber, but mistyped and input your phone number instead.

You can simply disregard this message. Rest assured that no one will be able to activate Viber without that activation code. If you are concerned, you can delete this message off of your phone to be extra sure that no one accesses it.

Hi!

Guys, your application is awesome. But i want to delete it now.
The thing is that we made a group chat of 50 people, i'm the admin. Someone added an ******* to our chat and now we cannot force him to leave!!!!
The conversation is not confidential. WTF people? How could you make such an application without the most vital feature? What were you thinking about?
Now we have to delete the whole group in order to get rid of him!
Guys, you'r driving mad a few dozens of people with this.
And i'm not even talking about the most basic feature - DELETE THE WHOLE DAMN GROUP! Everyone should leave group one after another?! Are you crazy or something!? I forced all these people to abandon whatzapp and switch to vibe and now i don't know what to do!!!!!

@zidler:

There are currently no admins in group chat, which is why you are unable to remove this participant. However, this is a feature that we are working on developing and should be available in future updates.

In the meantime, you can create a new group and ask the participants not to add any other users.

Thank you for your feedback and we are happy to hear that, aside from this, you enjoy Viber!

@Viber

Hi Viber,

I hope you get to read this. I have been sending support tickets support.viber.com but I am not able to get clear answers.

My Viber number was blocked last week. I run an online shop for a year now and I get to communicate with old and new customers thru Viber until last week where you decide to block my number. Got hold of your support team and they told me they have decided to unblock my number and it will take up to a week.

As alternative, I decided to get a new number temporarily while waiting. Unfortunately after registering it to Viber, it gets blocked after a minute without me doing anything yet. Then I get another number and same thing, blocked instantly as soon as it connects to Viber.

I hope you can shed some light to this incident and how can we avoid being blocked randomly?

Charles

Hi,
This is a member of the Viber Development Team.

1. Are you using Viber on WiFi or 3G?
2. What country are you located in? which cellular network?

Same issue I'm also facing. My Internet is connected, but Viper still says Internet connectivity is required when trying to call another Viper user.

Details as below:

Can anyone please help me out. I'm having problems how to print out my viber messages. I've been to the viber site that said that I just need to go to my settings then push the call and message button history and then it will lead to sent it to the email you want to be sent and there you can print out all the messages. But. I already tried how many times that procedure and there's no message sent in my emails still? What can I do? I really need help to get my messages printed. Please.

Exact same issue. Makes viber totally unusable on iPhone 6 plus. I'm amazed this hasn't been fixed in two weeks since release, product is unusable like this on iPhone 6 plus.

I'm having the same issue as well, to include my ticket (Case #966692) submitted for this issue:

Issue is related to iOS 8 and iPhone 6 Plus. I have installed/uninstalled Viber multiple times but nothing has helped. When trying to type a message, it is hard to get the keyboard to show after sending a sticker. I have to tap multiple time in the area to type in order for the cursor to show so I can begin typing. When trying to correct a typing error before sending, placing the cursor where the correction needs to be done, is very difficult and almost impossible. If you tap and hold to get the correction bubble, it can not be done. All issues are related to the keyboard functions in Viber. Version of iOS is 8.1 and was 8.0.2. Version o Viber is 5.0.1. Thank you in advance for the help and fix.

This is a bit difficult to explain this issue in typed words. Hopefully it will get resolved
