    Might be best to check that Branson hasn't put any sly small print in the T's & C's like "only available to subscribers born before 1920"

    Doesn't the receiving person also have to have Viber on their phone...and does it work with all phone O/Systems ?

    For instance, I can't use Skype on my Windows smartphone. Found out AFTER I'd got it of course.

    Skype emailed me a voucher that I can use to gain 60 minutes free calling to the Philippines . My fiancée in Cebu can call my mobile and landline for free at the moment using viber. Viber has teamed up with globe to do this. Dont know how long its going to be for. Its the new "viber out" service.

    Yes you have Viber on both phones,it uses your internet allowance on phones so technically not free I guess but it does not use much data
    Hi,
    This is an official representative of Viber Media.

    The bandwidth rate during a Viber call is approximately 240 KB per minute up and down, 14 MB per hour up and down.

    Viber message is about 828bytes per 500 English characters.

    For more questions or technical support, please visit our official HelpDesk.
    Thanks,
    Viber

    Thanks Les. I'll see if I can sort something out.

    I get unlimited internet and (UK) calls on my phone.

    I'd be skeptical too. Been with Virgin for several years now and there forever sending crap 'offers' through the post so I bet there's a catch with this. "Not for existing customers" or "For one week only".
