Viber: Account activation issues. What should I do if the Viber activation code does not come?

Viber is a unique application for smartphones on Android, iOS, BlackberryOS, Symbian, and also for computers running Windows and Linux, which provides communication with other users of the application around the world, using the Internet (Wi-Fi or 3G) . When registering an application, an account is created that is tied to the mobile phone number. To confirm the use of the specified number, the system sends an SMS message containing the Viber activation code. Some operating systems can intercept the code and activate themselves. Sometimes a call comes from the system, which is recognized as an activation confirmation. But it also happens that when Viber is activated, the code does not come.

Checking the Internet

Since the Viber program works via the Internet, messages with the activation code are sent to the phone via Internet traffic. If the Viber activation code does not come up, you need to check whether the data transfer is enabled on your smartphone and whether the Wi-Fi module is turned on. If the data transmission is enabled, you need to understand whether the network settings are correct, check the access points, the correctness of the entered data. When connecting via Wi-Fi, you need to make sure that the network has access to the Internet. It often happens that the smartphone sees several networks, and when you connect to them, the Internet does not work - the router does not have access to the global network. Start your browser (Opera, Mozilla, Chrome, Safari ...) and try to go to any page. If such a transition is not carried out, then there is no Internet connection.

Check the entered phone number

As a "login" for logging in and activating in the system, Viber uses the mobile phone number. Naturally, this should be your number, which you regularly use at the moment, since this code will be sent to this number. When the Viber activation code does not come, it means that you may have entered the mobile phone number incorrectly in the corresponding field when registering the account or incorrectly indicated the country in which the number is registered. Carefully check the correctness of the entered data. The specified number should not begin with "+" and the country code, which is automatically set after selecting a country in the special tab. Do not use spaces when entering numbers. If all operations are carried out, as required by the instruction, then wait for the message with the code. In case the message still does not come, go to the next item.

Check roaming settings

In the settings of the phone there is a special function that is designed to help save money on the subscriber's account. This feature enables or disables the ability to receive messages if the subscriber is roaming. Since a huge fee is charged for incoming messages when roaming, this function is in the active mode by default. You are abroad and want to use this program, but does not come with a Viber activation code? There is a high probability that the above function does not start a message on your smartphone.

Find in the network settings or in the settings of messages the item about blocking incoming while roaming and disconnect it. After that, ask for the code again. Again no reaction? We will try to get the coveted code in a different way.

Voice Activation

So, after checking all three of the above positions, you still can not activate the program due to lack of code? We will try to register the account in the system with the help of voice activation. The Viber activation code does not come - well, do not! Feel free to go to the settings of the program and look for the point of "voice activation" (voice activation). After that, correctly enter your phone number and wait for a while. We need to call back the robot and name the four digits of the registration code. Next, enter these four numbers in the required field - and that's it. "Weber" is registered. It should be clarified that some operating systems recognize the call of the robot and independently, without the participation of the subscriber, activate the account and the program.

Error while entering the code

It happens like this: Viber activation is in progress, the SMS does not come with the code, you can not register the account. And it also happens in another way: SMS has arrived, the code is there, and when you enter numbers, the program reports an error. What to do in this case? Well, firstly, traditionally, you need to carefully check the correctness of the introduction of numbers. Make sure that the digits from the SMS are entered in the Viber field. Using voice activation, you need to carefully listen to what the robot dictates. Most often, errors when entering the code occur during the voice activation of the program. In addition, if more than three requests are made per day, the system can temporarily block the subscriber. This is such protection from spam and attacks. Tried all the above options, but nothing helped in solving the problem? Reinstalling the program is an extreme way. Uninstall and reinstall the application. Reboot the smartphone. We are waiting for the code. No changes? There is a high probability that the situation arises from a number of non-standard ones, and requires the intervention of a specialist.
