How to Verify Viber Without Using Your Personal Phone Number

Viber requires a phone number to register, the same way WhatsApp and Telegram do. If you're testing a messaging integration, managing a second account, or don't want your personal number tied to it, a rented number handles the verification.

Steps

1. Rent a number for Viber — an instant rental is enough for a one-time registration.
2. Open Viber, choose to register, and enter the rented number with its country code.
3. Viber sends a verification code by SMS within seconds on a working number.
4. Enter the code from your rental's status page to complete registration.

Instant or monthly?

Instant is enough for the initial registration. A monthly rental only helps if you expect Viber to re-verify the same number later on a new device.
