In the ever-connected world, we all increasingly call people in different countries. And of course, you want the best possible value to make these calls.

That is why Viber Out is here for you with yet another great value plan – the monthly World Plan subscription.

Call 50 countries around the world

A Viber Out subscription plan is an excellent solution when you need to call landlines and non-Viber mobiles in one country, but what about if you regularly call more than one country in any given month? It can get expensive buying multiple destination plans. So get a Viber Out World Plan subscription.

The worldwide subscription is an all-inclusive plan to all mobiles and landlines in 50 countries around the world, including popular destinations such as United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia and India.

The many benefits of a World Plan

The plan includes unlimited minutes per month, so you can call as many mobile or landline numbers as you need without running out of credit (fair usage policy applies).

The World Plan costs just $8.99 a month, saving you even more money than a regular subscription or credit. Even better, there are no extra costs on top of the monthly payment.

The subscription will renew automatically every month, so you don’t need to worry about getting a new one.

Now you don’t need to think twice the next time you need to call a number in a new country!

Get your Worldwide subscription now

Setting up your monthly Worldwide subscription is easy on either the website or Viber Out on your app.

Search for the country you want to call, and if it is included in the Worldwide plan you will immediately see the plan on your screen.

Choose Call Worldwide by tapping on the green button, and follow the payment instructions.

That’s it, your subscription is set up.

If you are a Viber user, but you don’t have a Viber Out account yet, setting one up is easy and takes just seconds. Access the account homepage from https://account.viber.com/

Call Australia: The Simple Way

Using traditional call bundles or calling cards can make calling Australia much harder than necessary. This is where Viber Out is on hand to make it easier for you.

With Viber Out you can call any landline or mobile number in Australia, even if the person you are calling doesn’t use Viber. You call them from your Viber app, and they will receive the call like a normal call on their phone.

If you are a Viber user calling someone who is already a contact in your phone, call them in just two easy steps:

1. From the Viber app calls screen, tap on the contact’s name.

2. Before you start, check that you have their number saved correctly with the +61 country code.

3. Call them with Viber Out.

And that’s it, you will be connected to them wherever they are.

If you don’t have the person you want to call saved as a contact, it is still really easy to call them. From the calls screen, open the dialer, and type in their phone number, starting with +61 for the country code.

Call Australia: The Great-Value Way

Viber Out has lots of options to allow you to make low-cost calls to Australia this Australia Day and every day.

The best value option is the new Worldwide subscription plan, giving you unlimited minutes of calling time to Australia and 49 other countries around the world for just $8.99 (US) a month.

Pay-as-you-go world credit is the solution for you if you call Australia once in a while. A call will cost you just 2.1 cents a minute. However, if you aim to keep in touch with people back home in Australia on a regular basis, a monthly subscription plan will cost you just $3.99 (US) a month and give you 120 minutes a month to call home.

Making international calls in the past used to be extremely challenging. Not only did it require you to dial an endless amount of numbers but it was also reserved for those who could actually afford it. Thanks to VoIP apps, including Viber and Skype, it is now possible to get in touch with family, friends and colleagues, no matter how far you may be from them.

However, in case you wish to call a non-Viber or Skype user or someone who doesn’t have internet service or a mobile phone, the two companies also offer calling plans that will enable you to call any destination you’d like.

Founded in 2010, Viber connects over 1 billion users worldwide, offering them a free and secure connection with free high-quality audio and video calls, 1-on-1 and group messaging, and many more features. For calls to anyone who doesn’t have an internet connection or a Viber account, Viber offers its low-cost calling service, Viber Out, to both mobiles and landlines.

Skype has been around for quite some time and offers its Skype Credit calling plans to landlines and mobiles around the world.

Both companies offer users calling plans and subscriptions, making rates even lower than usual. So if you know you’d like to make recurrent calls to a specific destination, choosing a calling plan with the number of minutes that best suits your needs will save you a lot of money down the road.

In fact, as of the August 16th, 2018, many Viber Out plans in popular destinations like India, Australia, Ethiopia and Vietnam are substantially cheaper than those offered by Skype on its website. When calling Vietnam and Australia, Viber Out’s prices can save you up to 50% compared to Skype’s Credit calling plans. In Ethiopia you can save up to 50% on calls to mobiles and landlines, and in India Viber Out has a plan which gives you up to 200 extra calling minutes compared to Skype’s plan.

What should you go for then – Viber Out or Skype? When it comes to choosing the calling service that offers the best offers for popular destinations, it’s enough to look at the numbers.

This following table will help you decide.

Viber Out vs. Skype: Who is Cheaper?

As you can see in the following table, as of August 16th, 2018, when calling Australia using Viber Out, you can save up to a whopping 60%: Viber Out gives you unlimited minutes for $7.99 when calling the land down under while Skype can cost you up to two and a half times this price for the same plan!

The numbers aren’t lying. When it comes down to it, many of Viber Out’s calling plan rates are substantially cheaper than those offered by Skype as of today. So what are you waiting for? Call your loved-ones and friends with Viber Out!
