Resolved question

is there a way to use whatsapp and viber on multiple phones?

by drive88mph - 12/19/11 2:34 PM

i got two phones which i have to switch every month or every two weeks (an android and iphone) and is a little bit of wasted time to try to subscribe to these services waiting for the confirmation sms mesages on each app every time i switch, so i wanted to know if there was some kind of method so that i would just have to switch my sim to each phone and have the whatsapp and viber apps already activated?

thanks

You might ask in their support forum, although my gut feeling is no. Although I saw no specific mention of a service being mated to a specific handset, it would make sense that they require the verification just for security purposes. Perhaps it's covered here:

Can you see why they would say that?

Given it's a free service, they don't want to break the bank ;)>

Viber number on a second device

Hi Pepe7,

Please see our response below.
Note that you can register a second device, just not with the same Viber number. For example, you can use a friend's number or your own home number to activate Viber on a second device, and that device's Viber identity will be that home number.

For more questions, please see our Facebook page.

Regards,
the Viber Team.

Hi, this is a member of Viber's development team.


Unfortunately this option is not available currently. Viber supports only one device per account.We might add this option in future releases...

If you have more questions, please contact us via our Facebook page. happy

It would be cool if you guys could do that. I have viber on both my phone and ipod and its just a hassle having to sign out of each one and sign in again on the other. I like to have it on both my phone and ipod though because its easy for me. Also, is there a way for you to log out or something? cos when i leave viber and turn off my wifi to save power when i go out and then i put data on to tweet or check facebook, i sometimes get messages on viber from my friends and that uses up my credit (its not twitter or fb because on my plan its free social networking -viber not included) is there a way to temporarilly log out? i dont like it eating my credit.
