More than one million people use Viber to communicate with their friends and family due to the end-to-end encryption feature. Users’ voice calls, texts, and video calls are private. A third-party individual or agency can’t intercept texts, voice calls, or video calls.
You’ll need an internet connection, an operating system compatible with the Viber app, and a phone number. But you’ll have to register your Viber account on your phone to use the PC version.
You may have observed that the app will ask for a phone number when opening a new Viber account. Viber uses your phone number as your ID. Therefore, it’s hard to use Viber without a valid phone number whether you’re doing it on Android, iOS, Mac, Linux, or Windows.
Viber doesn’t ask for an email when activating a new account. Therefore, you can’t use your email to open a new Viber account.
So, how does one set up a Viber without a valid phone number?
Setting Up a Viber Without a SIM-Tied Phone NumberIt’s possible to create a Viber account without using your phone number. You’ll need to use a virtual number to access the code that will activate your Viber account.
Providers don’t tie virtual numbers to any physical location. Although it’s identified as virtual, it acts like an actual phone number. The number receives or makes calls on any mobile device.
You won’t require a physical address or a SIM card to use a virtual number. The calls and texts will go through VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol). Therefore, using virtual phone numbers will be a better and safer alternative if you wish to use Viber without using your everyday phone number.
Here’s a step-by-step procedure to create and use Viber without a working phone number.
The VoIP number will let you communicate with people via Viber without needing a phone number or a sim card. Once you register and activate your Viber account, you can link the account to your PC without needing a phone number.

Disclaimer: registering an account without a number is not possible. If the user does not plan to use his real phone or is physically unable to purchase a SIM card from a Russian operator, the best solution would be to buy a number through the 365SMS service.
The essence of a virtual number is that the user does not purchase a full-fledged SIM card, but “rents” it for a short time to receive the coveted SMS code. The price of the service is much lower than the purchase of operator cards.
Step-by-step registration of a virtual number and Viber account:
The first step is to sign in to an account or register a new one at 365SMS.org. The corresponding button is located at the top of the screen on the right side.
In order to buy a number for the Viber messenger, you need to top up your account on the site. The developers have introduced the possibility of replenishment from bank cards and electronic wallets.
You can top up for the amount of a one-time purchase or "throw" money with a margin if the user plans to buy numbers for other applications.
On the left side of the screen there is a drop-down list with the country and operator. When the user starts filling out an account, Viber will ask you to set the country of registration, and it must match the one selected on the site. Otherwise, the application may block the account or work with errors.
In the line "Available services" you need to select Viber. Available virtual numbers are displayed next to the name of the messenger.
If you click on the basket, you can buy a number. It will be on the "Active Numbers" tab.
You need to download the application to your phone and run it. When registering, enter the purchased number.
The messenger will ask you to confirm whether the number is entered correctly.
Then account activation will follow. Viber will send an SMS with a confirmation code to the virtual number.
A six-digit code will be displayed in the service on the same tab in the "SMS Code" column. You can read the entire post if you wish.
The numbers must be entered into the messenger.
Viber registration completed. The account can be used.
If the user does not plan to receive other messages to the purchased number, click on the checkmark in the "Action" column.
Registration in the Viber messenger using a virtual number takes up to 10 minutes. The process is simple and accessible to any user.

If you do not want to clog your phone or your mobile device does not meet the system requirements of Viber, then you can install the messenger on your computer or laptop without linking to an account on your phone. It's not easy to do this, but it's possible. Depending on the reason why you do not want or cannot have Viber on your smartphone, we will offer you several options - the standard way or bypass, using auxiliary programs.
Below are several installation methods to help you use Viber on your desktop or laptop without a phone.
BlueStacks is one of the most popular emulators that allows you to run mobile applications through your computer. The program is very convenient, easy to understand and absolutely free. So where do you start? Understanding the emulator Download BlueStacks for your computer operating system, unpack the software package, agree to all terms and wait for the download to finish. Upon successful installation, a shortcut with the emulator will appear on your desktop. Run it:
Install Viber with QR codeThis program is also available for Android systems, that is, you can do a similar function with your phone, but there are no emulators for iOS.
This method is familiar and allows you to download the messenger to your computer in a standard way. Therefore, here you can’t do without a phone, or, to be more precise, without a SIM card registration number. However, installing Viber on your phone is optional. This option will be useful for those who want to work in Viber, however, the presence of a push-button phone or a smartphone with an outdated operating system does not allow you to install the application.
First you need to install Viber. Download the installation file for your operating system on our website, follow the link below, wait for the download to complete, then run the file and a window with the program will appear on the screen. Next, proceed to registration:
If you have installed one of the latest versions of Viber on your computer, then instead of an SMS code, a QR code will appear on the screen, which requires you to scan this icon with your phone camera to confirm entry into Viber. In this case, installation will not be possible, since this action involves pairing two devices and synchronizing Viber on the phone and Viber on the computer. And if it is absent on the phone, then nothing will come of it. Therefore, select “My camera does not work” below and confirm the registration in the provided link for authentication.
There is another special software that helps you download Viber to your computer without a phone. But immediately you need to be prepared for the fact that such a utility is not free. This is primarily due to the fact that you can work in Viber without a personal mobile phone number. Telphin program provides virtual numbers. So, you need to go to the site through a computer - www.telphin.ru/virtualnye-nomera and leave a request for a mobile number. How it's done:
If it is approved, you pay the required amount for providing a virtual phone number, and then repeat the steps presented in the installation instructions using a QR code. However, again, a warning - if the new version of Viber requires scanning a QR code with a smartphone camera, then there is only one option left - use the BlueStacks emulator and confirm registration via SMS code to a virtual phone number.
Telphin's analogue is the Onlinesim service. You also buy a virtual mobile phone number, and then use the first or second method to install the Viber application. However, there is a plus here, the server for providing a virtual mobile number is also paid, but for new users you can try it for free for the first time. To do this, go to the developer's website from your computer - Online.ru/sms-receive, register. On the main screen, select "Try for free", then "Use the service" and after providing a virtual number in your personal account, you will be able to track SMS messages, which means confirm registration in Viber.
Of the four methods presented, each has its own characteristics, which will be an advantage for the individual user. Firstly, you first need to understand if you have your own SIM card for registering Viber and whether you want to assign this number to your messenger account, and secondly, for what reasons you don’t have Viber on your phone or why you don’t do you want to install it or not?
