Changing your own phone number on Viber
Changing your phone number on Viber is a straightforward process, but it's important to note that you cannot change your number without first deactivating your current Viber account. If you are only changing your number and keeping the same device, all of your chats, contacts list, Public Accounts you follow, and sticker packs will be transferred over to your new number. If you are changing your device, you will need to back up your chat history on your old phone before changing your number and activating Viber on your new phone.
- Back up your Viber data: Before changing your phone number, it is recommended to back up your Viber chat history and data. You can use a tool like Dr.Fone - WhatsApp Transfer to back up and restore your Viber messages, photos, and call history to your computer or mobile phone.
- Deactivate your current Viber account: To deactivate your account, go to Viber on your PC or mobile device. You will be asked if you want to deactivate your account. Select "Deactivate" and wait for your account to be deactivated. Please note that deactivating your account will erase all your messages and call history, but your photos will remain intact.
- Activate your new phone number: Ensure that your new SIM card is activated and that you can receive SMS/phone calls to get your activation code. If you are using a new device, activate Rakuten Viber on your new phone.
- Install and set up Viber on your new number: Download and install Viber on your device if you haven't already. Set up Viber with your new phone number and enter the 6-digit code you receive via SMS or phone call to complete the setup process.
- Restore purchases: If you had made any purchases in the Sticker Market or on Viber Out, you will need to restore those purchases after changing your number.
- Notify your contacts: Once you have successfully changed your number, your Viber account will notify your saved contacts by sending them an in-chat notification. They will also be given the option to save your new number to keep their contact list updated.
By following these steps, you can change your phone number on Viber without losing your chat history and with your contacts being notified of your new number.

Forwarding incoming calls to your Viber
To forward incoming calls to your Viber account, you will need to use a SIP/VoIP provider. This will allow you to forward calls to your Viber account from any mobile number.
Firstly, you will need to get a rebel.com account and register your forwarding phone number. Then, get a SIP provider who supports inum—one recommendation is Callcentric, but there are other options available.
Next, in Rebtel, add a contact in your local number zone, which is your SIP inum or your Skype name. Forward your mobile to the Rebtel local number. This should cost local airtime minutes, or the local rate if you are not on a monthly plan.
Now, calls will be forwarded to your SIP/VoIP device, which can be picked up from anywhere in the world without roaming fees.

Blocking a contact number on Viber
Viber has a "Block" feature that prevents unknown or existing contacts from sending unwanted messages. Blocking a contact number on Viber is a straightforward process that can be done in a few simple steps. Here is a detailed guide on how to block a contact number on Viber:
Step 1: Open Viber
Locate the Viber app on your device and open it.
Step 2: Navigate to Settings
Within the Viber app, look for the three-dots icon, which is usually in the top corner or the side menu. Click on this icon to access the settings options.
Step 3: Select "Privacy"
In the Settings menu, find and tap on "Privacy." This will open up a new set of options related to your privacy settings.
Step 4: Access the Block List
Under Privacy settings, look for the "Block List" option. This will display a list of all the numbers you have previously blocked.
Step 5: Block a New Number
If you want to block a new number, click on the "Add Block" or "Block New Contact" option. You will then be prompted to select a contact from your list or manually enter a phone number.
Step 6: Confirm the Block
After selecting or entering the contact you wish to block, confirm the action by tapping "Block" or "Done."
Once you have blocked a contact, they will not be able to contact you through Viber, and you will not receive any updates about their activity. It is important to note that blocking a number does not send a notification to the person being blocked. However, they may guess they have been blocked based on indicators such as not being able to contact you or add you to groups.
Additionally, if you ever need to unblock a number, you can do so by following similar steps. Go to Settings > Privacy > Block List. From there, find the contact you wish to unblock and click "Unblock."
