There is a phone-number wall in front of Viber, and this is the way through it. No code, no charge: a number that brings none is never billed. Rent one for the moment you need it: choose where it should come from, type it into Viber, and read the Viber code straight out of your SMS For U account. Behind that sit 1,400 services and numbers bought in markets on four continents.
How you get your code
- Search Viber inside SMS For U.
- Choose the market you want the Viber number to come from, out of whatever the app currently offers.
- One confirmation later the number belongs to you.
- Put it into Viber at the registration screen on first start and request your code.
- Viber texts it over, SMS For U catches it for you, and you copy it across.
Why a phone number is asked for
Viber is built around a phone number: it is the account name, the key your contacts reach you by and the thing you sign in with. Viber asks for it on the very first screen, the moment you open the app. The number goes in at: the registration screen on first start. Viber can ask for the same number again later — on a new device, after a password change or during a routine check. Bear that in mind before you tie an account to a number you will not have access to in a month.
What the code looks like
Viber sends a 6-digit code by SMS, and on some accounts as a voice call instead. Whatever Viber texts to the number is delivered into your SMS For U account automatically, a few seconds behind Viber, with nothing to forward. The window Viber allows is short, so do not leave the code sitting in your account. One number normally carries one Viber account.
What can go wrong
Viber accepts numbers from many countries but not from all of them. Which countries work for Viber changes over time, because Viber adjusts its checks and because the available ranges of numbers change. That is the honest state of it — we can hand you a number, we cannot make Viber take it. We do not claim Viber will take any given number, and we print no percentage, since a number like that would be stale within hours of being written.
Countries we serve
Below are the 50 markets we hold numbers in, Viber included. Treat them as our footprint rather than as today’s shelf: ranges run dry and are topped up again while you read this, so a market listed here may be unavailable for Viber within the hour. The country screen in the app is where that question is answered honestly for Viber, because it is the only thing that updates as fast as the ranges do.

Common questions
How do I get a Viber verification code without my own SIM card?
Open SMS For U, search for Viber and pick a country. You get a real phone number, you enter it at Viber (the registration screen on first start), and the code Viber sends appears in your SMS For U account by itself. No SIM card is involved, and the Viber number is not yours to keep.
How fast does the Viber code arrive?
The Viber code appears in your account within seconds of Viber sending it. How long Viber itself takes is up to Viber and to the country the number comes from, which is why nothing here is worded as a promise.
What happens if no Viber code arrives?
You do not pay for a Viber number that brought no code. Cancel the order in the app and the payment is refunded as soon as the cancellation is confirmed. That is the whole rule, and it is why a failed Viber attempt costs nothing: no code, no charge.
Which countries can I use for Viber?
Viber numbers come from the 50 markets listed on this page. Which of them can be picked for Viber at this moment is on the country screen in the app: that list moves through the day, and a page in a search index cannot keep up with it.
Can I use the same number for Viber again later?
Sometimes. Viber can ask for the same number again on a new device, and a used Viber number is not reserved for you indefinitely. If you need lasting access to a Viber account, use a number of your own.
