So here you go — starting yesterday, Viber for BlackBerry is now available in the App World. It took them some time but it’s finally here for BB users.
The version for the BB app still has limited features though:
Viber lets you send text and photo messages, anywhere in the world (Free calls coming soon as well). All you need is a 3G or WiFi connection, and friends who get Viber too.
I started using Viber on the iPhone and my Android phones last March when I was on a month-long trip to Europe. Been using it ever since especially when I am out of the country and lookign for alternatives to SMS and voice roaming.
You can grab it here.

Hi again,
We’ve been receiving recently complaints from our users in India, specifically from the following networks:
– BSNL (Jammu & Kashmir)
– Aircel (Jammu & Kashmir)
– Reliance Telecom (Jammu & Kashmir)
– Vodafone (Jammu & Kashmir)
Andit seems like those networks started blocking Viber.
Does anyone have any information on this matter? Is there any way to contact those cellular companies and find it out?
Best regards,
@sqUaLL –
Have you tried looking for it in AppWorld?
@Kunwar –
This is a known issue, and we’re hoping to fix it in our upcoming update. We apologize for the temporary inconvenience, and we’d appreciate if you could get back to us after installing our next update and report whether or not the problem has been fixed :)
Thank you!
I am using viber on my blackberry curve 9360 running on os 7.1.0.794 in India on vodafone. I am not able to make free calls or msg when I am on wifi. It shows internet connection is required to complete this action. Check your connection and try again. My wifi is working fine and I am able browse and download apps from blackberry world. it works on mobile data only. Please help me out if I am missing any settings. How to make my viber work on wifi. I have un-installed and re-installed it twice but I am facing the same problem.

@Pratik –
Hi,
Blackberry 8520 should be compatible with Viber.
What error message specifically are you getting? What country are you located in?
