Interestingly, unlike some competing services, Viber Out displays your real phone number to the recipient so he or she knows who is calling. Purchasing credit for Viber Out can be completed either through a simple in-app purchase via either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store or using a credit card via Viber desktop. Viber is touting significantly lower price-per-call than competing services like Skype, which it claims is due to lower per minute rates and the omission of connection fees. Now with the official worldwide launch, Viber Out enables all Viber users on Android, iPhone and desktop to call anyone worldwide, with Windows Phone users getting the feature at a later date. Viber Out, which was initially soft-launched only in Philippines in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan to help users contact friends and loved ones, is now available to more than 200 million users of the service. Popular messaging service Viber has formally announced the launch of Viber Out, a service that lets Viber users call any mobile or landline number across the world for a fee.
