Viber problems

I use viber on 3G network with okeyish 3G connection (3 bars) while my wife on the other end uses a pretty good wifi connection. Still when we try to make a viber calls between us, most of the times we get "Poor Network Quality" and the call disconnects.
What's surprising is that we can at the same time use FaceTime which i believe is even more data intensive (due to video and audio) works absolutely fine at the very same time and place.
What could be the problem ?
 
tnx for your reply but my other freinds in Iran dont have this problem.also I have tried it with vpn but any diffrence and the same error,so I think it wouldnt be the blocking.hmmm??
 
@sepideabolfathi -

Is your friend subscribed to the same cellular company as you? If he uses Viber on WiFi, is it located in the same geographical area as you? Or does he use the same ISP as yourself?

@rak007 -

Sometimes 3G reception could be low, and this is something we cannot control. Naturally this affects Viber's call quality and results in disruptions and broken sound.
We are continuously trying to improve our handling of 3G, so you can expect better performance as newer versions of Viber are released.

Meanwhile, WiFi- WiFi calls on Viber should generally be very clear and are free of such disruptions.
 
I'm trying to use viber to call home to uk from Australia despite having full wifi signals at both ends the sound quality is terrible and connectivity shows as "poor" how can I improve this ???? Very frustrating !

Have you tried reinstalling the app ?

Do you know other wifi users in that same ISP using vibes on wifi ? Is it possible to check ? Do you have a next door neighbour or someone who can check

I myself am suffering without viber due to my ISP blocking viber and in this century ns age !!!!
 
We apologize for our late response.

@sepideabolfathi -

The block might be gradual (might be affecting everyone gradually, and not all at once). If this is indeed a block initiated by the authorities, as we suspect, then unfortunately there is nothing we can do to help here :(

@o598 -

Please try testing Viber on a few different WiFi networks (the other side back home should do the same). What are the results?
 
Ok so i've download the viber app on my iPod and so I was wondering if I use my number would all the messages be sent to my iPod and my iPod only? Or would it also send my messages to my phone?

If Viber itself is installed on your iPod (it doesn't matter what number you used for registration), then message would physically arrive only on your iPod.
The number you used for registration will be the number used by those who want to send you the message through Viber :) (that will be the number they will need to dial in order to reach you on your Viber on your iPod).

@shiva 72 -

The authorities in the UAE have decided to block Viber in the whole country, and that is why you are experiencing this issue. Unfortunately there is not much we can do to help :(

You may try contacting the authorities and ask for the reason for this block.

Hi,

What phone do you have? Which version of operating system?
 
Hi

I've been using viber for calls, texts and group msgs for a while on my iPhone 4. However today I was erring notifications that the was msgs but when opened the app couldnt see anything. The other group members could see me there and I couldn't send them a MSG.

I've tried decativing and deleting the app but when I go to sign up again it sometimes doesnt send rhe code through so have to opt for the call option or doesn't ask me at all. It won't sync or do anything. Please can u help my friends lie in Italy and its how we call communicate.

Also saw on another forum to try and sync contacts go to a contact in All and add a friend that I no has it, changed a number then resaved and exited then went back in and changed back then waited 10 mins but then still nothing??

I've looked on ur website but can't find anyone to ask question to?

Many thanks

Hi,

First, please specify what country you're located, and which cellular network you're subscribed to.

Secondly, please try removing Viber, wait 24 hours, reinstall and try again (make sure you try both the SMS and the automated call options).

In addition, you may try to register to Viber with a different number (for example - your home landline number, a friend's number, etc.), in order to determine whether the problem is specific with your number, or a general one.

Ok
 
@p.alice -

This might have been caused due to a momentarily glitch in our server. Please test this issue again (ask a friend to send you a Viber message, repeat the same steps/scenario, and see if the message is deleted or not).

Unfortunately there is no way to retrieve that has already been lost :(

@Reem weB -

Hi,
We have received a number of reports from Lebanese users that Viber is not working anymore. Which error message exactly are you getting?

We are suspecting that this a block, imposed by the authorities, on Viber.
 
Hello,

I use Viber latest version on iPhone5 6.1.2

I receive and send many messages everyday and the problem is that opening and displaying messages in conversation list in viber is sooooo slow. When I receive a message and I hit on the notification to view it, viber opens and I have to wait for 2-3 seconds for the message to appear inside the conversation.

Same thing happens in Wifi or 3G network, it's the same.

Any way to fix this?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English!
