Register Viber with a rented overseas number
Rent an overseas number that can receive SMS, enter it in Viber, and read the code. Viber re-verifies after a reinstall, so the number needs to last.

Pick a country and rent a number
Viber is widely used across South-East Asia and does not restrict the number's country, so choose on price.
Enter the number in Viber
Select the country code and type the number. Viber tries SMS first and offers a voice call if nothing arrives quickly — stay with SMS, since catalogue lines do not take calls.

The code appears in the order page. No SIM card and no device.
Back up your chat history
Turn on chat backup and attach an email in Viber's settings. Viber keeps history on the device, so without a backup it is lost on a new phone even after a successful verification.

What can go wrong
Only the voice call option is available
Viber closes the SMS channel after repeated requests. Wait for the timer shown on screen, then request the SMS again.
It wants to verify again after a reinstall
Receive the code on the same number while the rental is running.
It says the number is already in use
That line has been registered before. Take a different number.
Frequently asked questions
Does Viber need a voice call to verify?
SMS is the default. The voice call is the fallback after repeated SMS failures, and catalogue lines are SMS Only — use the SMS channel.
Do I lose my chats if I stop renewing?
Chats live on your device and do not depend on the number. But moving to a new device requires verification, and the number has to be alive at that point.
How many Viber accounts can one number hold?
One. A Viber account maps to exactly one number.
Which countries are cheapest?
The price table is authoritative and syncs daily. Indonesia and Myanmar are currently the lowest monthly.
Do I need documents?
Not for most countries. Lines that require them are marked in the type table on the country page.
