Activate Viber with a Virtual Number

Viber activates an account by checking that you control the number. On Android it often tries a missed call first, reading the caller ID as the code; otherwise it sends an activation code by SMS or offers a call. A Noir SMS number accepts SMS only, so the text-message route is the one that works. You rent a carrier mobile number for 20 minutes, Viber texts the code, and it appears in your dashboard with a sound alert. Viber Desktop and tablets are activated later from your phone with a QR code, not with another SMS.

Quick answer

Yes, as long as you activate by SMS. Viber may first try to verify you with a missed call or offer a voice call, which Noir SMS numbers can't receive. Rent a US, Canada or UK number, enter it in Viber, and when the call check times out, request the code by SMS. It appears in your dashboard, and if no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, you're refunded.

Before you verify Viber

Call-based activation won't work

Missed-call and voice-call checks need the number to ring, which a Noir SMS number can't do. Wait for the SMS option; if your device only offers calls, cancel after 2 minutes for an instant refund.

Turn on Viber backup

Viber stores chats on your device. Enable backup to Google Drive or iCloud in Viber's account settings, because reinstalling the app would also require a new activation code that the rented number can't receive later.

Desktop links by QR code

Viber for Windows and Mac is activated by scanning a QR code with Viber on your phone, so the rented number only has to work once. Keep the phone app installed, since the desktop app depends on your primary device.

Viber virtual number: FAQ

Can I use Viber with a virtual number?

Yes. Viber only needs to deliver an activation code to the number, and a Noir SMS mobile number can receive the SMS version of that code. Skip the call-based options, since our numbers don't take calls. If Viber never sends the SMS, the charge returns to your balance automatically after 20 minutes.

Why is Viber calling instead of texting me?

On many Android phones, Viber tries to activate with a missed call because it can confirm the number automatically. When that fails or times out, it typically offers a code by SMS instead. Which options you see depends on your device, app version and region, so wait for the SMS choice to appear.

Do I need the number again after activating Viber?

Only if you reinstall Viber, move to a new phone without transferring your account, or deactivate it. Everyday use and Viber Desktop don't need the number. Since rented numbers are recycled, keep backups on and plan to switch to your own number if the account becomes important to you.

Will my contacts see the virtual number on Viber?

Yes. Viber identifies you by phone number, so people you message see it with its +1 or +44 prefix. That's useful when you want to keep your personal number private in communities, group chats or when buying and selling, but it also means you can't hide the number completely.

Can I use Noir SMS numbers for Viber marketing campaigns?

No. Noir SMS numbers are for verifying your own accounts, one verification at a time. Bulk account creation, spam campaigns, impersonation and evading Viber bans are prohibited by both Noir SMS and Viber. Businesses that want to message customers should use Viber's official business messaging programs.
