Bababa ba?

In the last 2 years, I’ve had the best of most mobile operating systems, namely Blackberry OS,  iOS and Android (I’ve got to get my hands on a Windows phone soon). I use my Blackberry for everyday tasks and messaging, I use my iOS for casual gaming and media playing, and I use my Android for general surfing and social media.

While playing around these three mobile operating systems I discovered that you can use a single cellphone number in 2 different phones. You just need to use Viber on one of your phones.

The steps are very simple, and you don’t really need to be a techie to do this.

So let’s say you have Phone A which has the SIM with your number, and your other phone, Phone B. Just follow these steps:

1. Install Viber on Phone B.
2. Register Phone A’s number in Phone B’s Viber.
3. You will receive a confirmation text in Phone A. Copy the confirmation code in the registration process in Phone B.
4. Voila, one number in two phones.

Or you could do it the other way around: you can have two different phone numbers in a single phone with the help of Viber. Although I could not confirm this as I haven’t tried this yet.

Do take note that you need a working data plan for Phone B so you can send and receive calls and text messages using Viber. Also, your contacts must also be on Viber so you can make the most out of this trick. :)

Happy texting!

EDIT: Just a quick note. You CANNOT use a single number in 2 Viber registrations. Viber will detect that you are registering your number in different phones and will unregister you from the earlier registration.
