Humberto Saabedra on February 15, 2014



Mobile VoIP and messaging service Viber was officially taken after a week of denials from the preliminary service. The service will now be part of the Japanese conglomerate new electronic Boost of Rakuten to diversify into new businesses. Viber currently has 300 million registered users, but never released figures for monthly active users since its inception. Currently, Viber is available on multiple mobile platforms, including the desktop and works as a rival to Skype from Microsoft.
