Which service fits the way you call?

Choose Talkala when:

You want to call from a browser without installing or opening Viber
You prefer one pay-as-you-go balance instead of choosing a calling plan
You make occasional calls or call several different countries
You want the exact rate for the full number before you dial

Choose Viber Out when:

You already use Viber on your phone or computer
You call one country or included destinations often enough for a plan to make sense
You want Viber messaging and free Viber-to-Viber calls alongside paid phone-number calls
You prefer choosing between World Credit and several plan types

Both services use the caller’s internet connection and can ring regular mobiles and landlines. The recipient does not need Talkala or Viber, and does not need an internet connection to answer.

Can Viber Out call regular mobiles and landlines?

Yes. Viber Out can call regular phone numbers using World Credit or an eligible calling plan. Supported destinations and number types can vary, and some special, premium, non-geographic or satellite numbers may be excluded.

Does the person I call need Viber or an internet connection?

No. A Viber Out call reaches the recipient through their regular mobile or landline provider. The caller needs an internet connection, but the recipient does not need Viber or internet to answer. Talkala works in the same general way for the recipient.

Can I use Viber Out from a computer or web browser?

Do Viber Out plans renew automatically?

Yes. Rakuten Viber states that Viber Out plans renew monthly until cancelled. To avoid another renewal, Viber advises cancelling at least 24 hours before the next billing date.
