And now i tried to open viber from my iPad it asked to verify my number again... Thats weird, do i have to activate everytime i use it?

Hi @xviirus -


At this stage, one Viber number can be assigned with only one device simultaneously. When you try registering to Viber with the same number on a second device, the first device immediately deactivates, and its data (message history, Recents, etc.) is deleted.

What you can do, however, is register your second device with a different number: your home number, an old cellphone number, family's or friends.

In future versions we are planning to add an option to register Viber on multiple devices. Once we have news on that, we'll let you know 🙂

I originaly use Viber with my Ipod touch 4G, but today I was testing Viber with a friends phone with my cell numer. When I deactivate it on my friends phone and try to activate it again on my ipod and put the code put the activation code, but viber keeps saying

"Enter the 4-digit code you recieved..."


tried with other friends cell numbers to activate it, got the code, i put the 4 digit code and same problem...


Im using an Ipod touch 4G... like i always have been using...

Please try removing Viber, wait 24 hours, reinstall and try again (make sure you try both the SMS and the automated call options).

In addition, you may try to register to Viber with a different number (for example - your home landline number, a friend's number, etc.), in order to determine whether the problem is specific with your number, or a general one.

Please see my response to ArlesFC, and try the same workaround. Does it help?

I've seen messaging about adding multiple devices activation feature in 2011, it's now 2013 and we still don't have it, not a big deal you might say, but not when you swapping 3 devices on various operating systems.. While on ios it's fine, we do have iMessages which works great, but than I would need to continue my conversation on android or windows phone. I would need to re-activate just like on viber competitor whatsapp. Until this could be done those guys like me will stick to Skype and won't force our friends and relatives to get viber :) Hope to see multiple devices support this year!
