Viber Activation Code Problems and Errors - Not Working

If anyone has bought a smartphone, then the next thing one wants to do is to install Viber on it. Those who have not yet got Viber installed on their mobile, are planning to start using it. The ones who are not having a smartphone are using Viber on their computer. In short Viber has grown pretty big and now everyone just want to use this cool app.

The reason for its popularity is pretty simple - its feature of allowing people to make calls to each other for free (Viber to Viber is always free and all it requires is internet). Infact you don't need to add friends these are automatically visible from your address book (it figures out which of your contact are already on Viber). A lot of people have complained to us about the problems they are facing when installing Viber Applications.
One such common problem which many people have faced or are still facing is related to get the app verified on their mobile - Viber Activation code on your mobile. The problem is common to users on Android, Blackberry, Nokia, iPhone, Windows Mobile and other types of smartphones. Please is a list of such issues - read them and follow the solution. We hope you should be able to get Viber working on your mobile.
Viber Activation Code Problems and Errors

Q. Android Mobile/BlueStacks Viber on PC - I am not getting the Activation Code on my Mobile. What next ?
Ans. Please note that the below solution works for both Android Mobiles and PC (by using Bluestacks software). So if you did not receive your access code via SMS, Viber authentication system will securely provide you with your Viber access code. Actually Viber will give you a phone call on your mobile and read out the access code.

To receive your access code, follow these instructions:
  1. Open Viber on your device.
  2. Go through the setup again, until you reach "Enter your phone number..."
  3. Enter your phone number and tap on 'Continue'.
  4. If you haven't received an SMS with your access code within 60 seconds, click on the ‘No Code?’ button.
  5. Now Viber will call you on your phone.
  6. Accept the automatic call and write down the given access code.
  7. Enter the code into Viber to complete the set up.
Note: You will NOT get the access code (activation code) via Email. The Access Code feature was created for identification purposes to protect our users' identity and ensure that they are the real owners of the number that they are registering. Receiving your Access Code via SMS will prevent other users from obtaining your access code and placing calls with your caller ID.
Q. Viber Invalid Code Error - Common for all mobiles ?
Ans. If you are getting the error that the activation code is invalid, then you will have to wait for some time and then re-enter the code. If it still fails to work then we would suggest you to wait for a day and install the Viber again (reinstall) and receive a new SMS code.

If it still fails to work (and keep failing), then just follow the procedure described in step 1 (fail to get activation code). 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.

Q. Wifi Related - Viber not connecting with internet
And. 1. First, please try uninstalling and reinstalling Viber when connecting to a few different WiFi networks (in order to pinpoint the source of the problem). What are the results?
2. Also, please make sure the following ports are enabled ("forwarded") on your routers or firewalls:
TCP: 5242 + 4244
UDP: 5243 + 9785
(if you are not sure how to enable ports, you may contact your router manufacturer)


Q. Make Viber work in Blocked Countries
Ans. If you are from a blocked country where Viber fails to work (you are not able to receive sms and not even able to open activate.viber.com) then the only possible solution I could find is to use VPN (virtual private network) on your mobile. This is similar to using proxy. It will fool them and will be like as if you were from USA or any other working country(for iPhone use proxy settings). Also make sure to use the method described in step1 (receiving phone call and activating).

If you are not able to get Viber working on your mobile (and facing any activation issue) - then please share with us in the comment section. May be we can help you out!
 

Top 6 reasons why Viber is better than Skype

Skype is the oldest (probably one of the first ones) voip provider and is highly popular. It was recently acquired by Microsoft and its user base is continuously growing. People use Skype on their computer, smartphones, tablet, Facebook - almost on all the device. Skype has its application for Android, iPhone, Windows Phone, Nokia, Blackberry (almost all mobile operating system). There is no doubt that Skype is really a good service (specially its video calling), however even with its so many positives and huge customer base, Skype is now getting tough competition from voip service named "Viber".

Viber is again a multi platform voip service, now available for almost all the operating system (it even launched PC application recently). For those who are not aware about Viber - it is a simple mobile and PC app which allows you to make free calls and send text message (and video calls on PC) to a person who is also using Viber on his mobile/PC. Recently Viber published some numbers and we came to know that it has now been downloaded more than 200 million times. Viber is free and continuously growing, it is being considered as a Skype Killer.
Viber Vs Skype - Viber is better


Skype Vs Viber - Why is Viber Better

In this post, I have tried to compare the two voip services (and the future prospects of two) - Skype Vs Viber. However, here I have just looked at the points because of which I feel that Viber is better than Skype. There are some features of Skype which are unique to it and not present in Viber. I will soon write a post on it.

1. Download and Use - No username required

This is the main reason I love Viber. Just download the application to your mobile phone and your mobile number becomes your username. No signup required. With Skype you need to create a user account.

2. Viber Contacts Easily Visible - Who's Online

Since Viber does not require username, it simply scans your phone address book looking for phone numbers. So any of your friend who is using Viber will be visible to you (and you will also know who's online With Skype you need to add contacts - for that you need to know your friends Skype username.

3. Viber Runs in background

One of the coolest feature of Viber app is that it works in the background and does not have to be running in order to work. So even if you have not opened the Viber app, you can still receive calls on it. Skype on the other hand requires that you logon into the app before you can make/receive calls.

4. Viber Emoticons

Viber has a good range of emoticons which are quite vibrant and dynamic. I would say these are better than what Skype offers (but yes not as good as Whatsapp).

5. Viber Call Quality

I would Viber call quality (voice calls for mobile and video calls for computer) is pretty good. However when compared to Skype, I won't say it is better because Skype quality is itself awesome.

6. My friends are using Viber but not online on Skype

This is the deciding factor - when connecting with friends and to keep in touch you will have to use what other's are using. For now the trend seems to be Viber - everyone is just switching to Viber (whatever the reasons are). So to stay connected and social - you have to use Viber!

Please share your views on this. Are you using Viber or Skype or both. Which service do you like more - is it Skype or is it Viber ?
 

Viber Business Model - How do Viber Make Money

Viber is a free application available for almost all the platforms. This app has been downloaded for more than 200 millions times and is being called Skype Killer. Viber now offers its free application for iOS Platform (iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch), Android Mobiles, Windows based mobiles, Blackberry OS, Nokia Symbian, Bada mobiles and now it offers PC app as well. Viber offers free calls and multi media messages between two viber users (doesn't matter on which device you are using this app).

Not only is the Viber application free, but it does not even charges for calls and text messages. Infact its PC application offers video calls which are also free. That's not all Viber does not even show any ads on its app, so no advertisement revenue. The question is if everything is free and not even powered by ads so how does it make money, what exactly is Viber's business model. Before we go into the details about its business model, lets see what is it costs (expenses).
  • Calls are made using internet connection (does not require any kind of hardware infrastructure), so these can be free. 
  • Viber is simply a software developed by a team - this effectively means team salary cost, research cost, marketing cost and many other expenses. This may seem less but trust me it is a good amount of money. Effectively its like running a product based software company.
Read - Viber Problems and their solution

As found on the forbes website -
So far, his company has no venture capital investors and has yet to book any revenue. In fact its founder and CEO, Talmon Marco, said friends and family of the Cyprus-based company’s founders had helped put $20 million into the company. “It’s not a cheap operation,” he said, adding that Viber employs 120 people, the workforce being divided between Israel and Minsk, Belarus.

“We are going to generate revenue later this year, through value-added services,”  Marco said. Viber will not charge a fee to download its application or for basic services, and Marco says there are no plans to introduce ads. Instead he is opting for a freemium-model to make cash, with extra services such as “premium stickers” for messaging.
So though Viber is not making money and it is definitely a great application (and a good business model) with potential to make huge amount of money. Infact if you compare this with Facebook (which also started with offering social profile and connecting with friends), Viber looks pretty similar. Its all upto Viber to decide what their next step would be to generate money.

Viber Business Model - Connect Freely

My List of Ideas - Viber Model to Make Money

  1. Someday it Viber may decide to charge money for application. If it starts asking for $1 per annum (which is pretty cheap), it would start making 200 million USD per year (growing)
  2. Launching premium services just like Skype
    1. Viber Out - Make calls and sms to normal mobile (non viber users) at cheap international rates
    2. Viber Video Conference - video chat with multiple people at low cost
    3. Viber for Business - Start charging business users with more features like desktop sharing, conference calls, call recording etc..
  3. Advertisement on the viber app - this should generate huge amount of money
  4. Integration with third party software like Facebook and Twitter - Ask them for money or display ads on these third party websites
  5. Online calls from Viber - PC to Phone without software download. This will generate huge traffic on viber website, just display ads on website
  6. Launch its own social media website just like Facebook
  7. Sell Viber to big players like Google, Microsoft or even Facebook or may be a mobile company like Samsung
  8. Viber pre installed on mobiles like Samsung - Ask Samsung for money
  9. Viber could tie up with mobile career like Virgin Mobiles, ATnT or any other depending upon the country (may be Airtel in India) - offer data plans and free calls plan. They can share the generated revenue.

Status of Tango App for Nokia Symbian Mobiles Phones

You can't expect everyone to instantly switch to Android or Windows platform. There are still quite a good number of Nokia Symbian mobile users. Infact the Nokia mobile boasting about Pureview 41Mp camera is itself based on Symbian Belle (its a great phone, only concern is its Symbian). And many of these Nokia phone's allow video calling facility (they are having a secondary front facing camera). So do these Nokia mobile users (even after having front camera camera and high speed internet on mobile), really enjoy video calling on their phones.

Apart from above two said items, what you additionally require in your mobile is Video Calling application. One of the very famous and popular app (atleast for iOS, Android and Windows) video calling app is Tango. It is a free to download application which allows video calling between various platforms. If you are using Tango on your PC, you can call your friend who is using Tango on his Android Mobile.

Currently Tango does not have any application for Nokia Symbian Mobile Phones. But the thing is what is its status, when is Tango coming out with its Nokia application. With Nokia already focusing on its Windows based Lumia mobile phone range, it is really difficult that anyone else will focus on it.

From the day Tango was launched people are requesting this application for Symbian phones (specifically - N97, N8, 5800, N97 Mini, E72, E5, X7, N86, N73, C3, 5250 etc..). We have tried to capture the status (replies from Tango official's) regarding Tango Nokia app.

Tango App for Nokia Symbian Mobiles

Status of Tango for Nokia Symbian


April 06, 2013
Hey Everyone,
Regret to inform you that after further discussions we have decided not to develop a Nokia version at this time.
Our plans may change in the future, but at this time we don't have any current plans to support Nokia/Symbian.
We appreciate your posts and enthusiasm about this topic. I hope we can support this in the future.
Thanks!
From the latest updates (whatever the reasons are), it seems that Tango is not coming with any application support for Symbian mobile phones. I guess at least they should have cared to inform the people why they have decided to take this decision. Moreover if there are any plans to support this in future (I mean people are eagerly waiting).

What can Nokia Symbian Users do now

  • Use Tango on your computer to make video calls
  • Buy Android or Windows Based mobile
  • Use other video calling softwares which are available for Nokia Phones (I guess Fring is available)
  • Keep making request to Tango for launching application for Nokia, they may change their mind.
Anyhow we will try to find answers for why Tango dropping idea of launching app for Nokia. Infact we will try to get some Tango official to answer your concerns.
 

Viber Desktop/Laptop Application For Windows and Mac PC

Viber one of the highly downloaded smartphone application has made quite a good mark in the mobile industry. As of now Viber's customer base include more than 200 million users, using the app for text and free voice calling. Up till now Viber was offering its application for iOS Platform (iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch), Android Mobiles, Windows based mobiles, Blackberry OS, Nokia Symbian and Bada mobiles as well. Viber was not offering any app for PC user's.

The only working way of using Viber on computer was to install android emulator (be it Bluestacks or Youwave player) and use the android viber apk on this emulator. Though the method quite worked (thanks to our step by step tutorial), however many people still faced issues using Viber on computer.

The good news is Viber has officially now entered the desktop space as well. Viber has launched its official application for windows and Mac PC. That means all the 200 million users have access to their viber contacts from both mobile and desktop. Not only the viber desktop provides free text and voice calling, but it also offers video calling to other Viber desktop users. This video calling is currently in beta version and is only available from computer to computer.

What's Special in Viber Desktop/Laptop App for Windows and Mac

  • Send Free Message: Works from Viber on desktop to your viber contact on any device (PC to Mobile).
  • Free Voice Calls: It again works from Viber on desktop to viber on mobile as well. 
  • Video Calling: Viber on desktop to Viber on desktop
  • Viber syncs your contacts, messages and call history with your mobile device, so you can start the conversation on the Viber mobile application and continue from the comfort of your PC.  
  • Group conversations
  • No registration, passwords or invitations required
  • Transfer ongoing calls between devices 

Download Viber Application for Windows/Mac

First thing first in order to get started and use this cool app on your computer, you need to download this application.

Viber for Windows PC: Download Link
Viber for Mac PC: Download Link

Simply download the app from the above links and install the application on your computer. Follow the tutorial below to get started and make calls using this viber app.


Viber Desktop Application for Windows/Mac


Get Started : Viber on Desktop

To start, you must be a mobile user of Viber, so if you don’t have a number that’s already associated with the service, the desktop app will ask you to download the mobile application. From there, you simply input your number into the desktop app, enter a pin which is sent to your mobile device, and you instantly have access to all the contacts you know on Viber.
  1. Once you install the app, it will ask you whether you have Viber on your mobile phone or not. If you have then click on yes and if not then click on no.
  2. If you already have Viber on your mobile (registered with Viber), then you will get a confirmation message on your mobile phone. You will need to connect your mobile phone with wifi or 3g (internet). Please open the viber app on your mobile - you will see a four digit code. Enter this code in the PC application and that's it. 
  3. If you are not yet using Viber on your mobile phone and clicked no, then you will be asked to install Viber on your mobile. If you do not have a smartphone, what next ?
  4. If you do not have a smartphone, then you will have to again make use of our old tutorial for using Viber on PC (android emulator). Follow that tutorial and fake as if you are using Viber on android mobile. Once this is done, you can again use the Viber official app on PC.
Incase of any issues or doubts, just let us know in the comment section. We will try to help you out. Good news for Blackberry users as well, Viber is also rolling out a new version of its BlackBerry app that ensures voice calling works with the desktop app, since BlackBerry encodes calls differently than other platforms.
 

Free Skype Credit Offer by CollegeBudgetDeals : Get 20$ on buying $10

Almost all of us know about Skype (the world's largest voip provider). It became more popular after Microsoft acquired it and large number of people use it now. It is being considered as market leader in video calling feature (most people use Skype just for free video calls - skype to skype is free). However that does not mean it is their only feature, infact many people use it for making international calls to mobile phones.

If you have a friend who is also using Skype (and is online on Skype) then you can call him or her for free, but it will cost you money when calling to non skype users. It does not matter whether you are using Skype on your mobile or playstation or your laptop, you can still use it for international calling. The calling rates offered by Skype are competitive (you can check its calling rates here).

Few days back we discussed about using skype voucher and coupon codes (and how to use them) for getting bonus credit or discounts when buying credit. In continuation to that we found another working code (or say a method) by which you will be able to get additional credit on your purchase.

And since with this offer the effective calling rate with this offers gets half, so it is a must try.
 

Skype on browser : Make Skype Calls from Email Client (OutLook.Com)

Seems the takeover of Skype by Microsoft is showing its effects, offcourse the positive ones. Many of us use our gmail account and use it for sending emails, chatting with friends, talking (audio and video calls) with friends using the gtalk client. Such a audio video calling feature was lacking in the Microsoft email client (Outlook.com). It is a free personal email service from Microsoft and is quite widely used. Infact in just six months after its launch, it attracted 60 million new users.

Microsoft in an attempt to match the Google support and bring the audio/video calling support has coupled Skype with Outlook.com. This is basically a preview version of Skype currently available for United Kingdom and will be made available in the United States and Germany in the coming weeks.

Obviously email is important and nothing can get rid of this, but sometimes it is much easier to talk then text or write long emails. And if you get the flexibility of video calling then its just awesome. So with Outlook.com (directly from your mail client) you have the option of sending email or instant messaging and now video or audio call.

How to get Skype on your browser (Outlook.com) Inbox

Inorder to setup skype for outlook.com, you need to download a plugin for your browser (which is available for IE, Chrome and Firefox). Once you have downloaded the plugin you can connect Skype to Outlook.com (using your microsoft mail account). If you already have a skype account then you will be asked to link both of these. Just merge your Microsoft email account with the Skype account and you are ready for video calling. You also have the option to add all your Skype contacts to outlook.

Making calls with Skype is damn easy. Click on the Skype audio or video buttons in your IM conversation. To start a call while reading an email from a friend on Outlook.com, move your mouse over the friend’s picture and click on the Skype audio or video call buttons that appear above his or her contact details.

skype for email


Earlier we have seen the merger of Skype account with Facebook and it was a big hit. I mean life gets simple when you remove the complexities (in this case managing so many account) and this move by Microsoft is a great step going forward. I am hoping Skype roll out this feature worldwide, so that everyone can get benefited from such feature.

I am not wondering why voip softwares like Viber and Whatsapp not thinking in this direction and not rolling browser based calling or a PC app.
 

WeChat for PC : Web WeChat on Windows/Mac/Chrome OS

Smartphone have captured the mobile market with almost everyone using it. The most popular apps on smartphones are the ones related to social media or communication (the way you can connect to your loved ones). These includes applications like Viber (Voice Calling), Tango (Video Calling), Whatsapp (Instant Messaging), Hike (SMS Text Messaging) and WeChat (which combines all features). Most of these apps are supported for all mobile platforms be it Android, iPhone, Windows or Blackberry, however most of these apps do not have any support for usage on your laptop/computer/PC.

Today we will be discussing about using WeChat application on your personal computer (or for that matter any computer having internet connection). Interesting thing is that you do not require to download WeChat application on your Pc and still use the app features. We are referring to the app feature named "Web WeChat".

WeChat for PC : WebChat

Requirements

1. You need to have a smartphone where you have already installed WeChat app. The app is linked to your mobile number (so unless you haveWeChat on your phone, you won't be able to use it on PC).
2. Computer with internet connection.
3. Internet browser (Firefox/IE/Chrome/Opera) all works.

How Web WeChat Works

1. Click the magic wand icon at upper right and select "Web WeChat".
2. Click "Start"
3. Open the browser and open web.wechat.com
4. Scan the QR Code that shows up when you open your PC browser to web.wechat.com, then select "OK".

Once you are on Web WeChat, you can continue chatting with friends on your browser. It is like accessing your phone WeChat account on your computer (simply assume that you have a phone on your screen). It works pretty great.

The main advantage of using this feature is ease of use. It is quite easy to chat with friends (type) on computer than your computer. We have seen in the past that people crave about using Whatsapp  on computer. They do not have any PC application nor do they support such a web chat feature. Only option for Whatsapp is to follow our tutorial (userguide on using app on PC using android emulator).
 

How to Cancel Skype Subscription and Get Refund

It is a well known fact that Skype is the leader in voip industry. It has probably maximum numbers of users (comparing to other voip services). But I believe a large part of those users stick to free Skype services like video calling to other skype users. If you want to make international calls to normal mobile or landline phone's, then you would have to shell out some money. For users looking for unlimited calls to a particular country (or a set of countries), Skype offers some unlimited subscription plans.

If you choose this subscription plan (any package), then you will be charged on monthly basis. You may consider it good or bad, but for your monthly subscription you can be charged automatically (from your registered credit card). Sometimes what happens is that you don't actually use the service, however you are still charged. Infact some people have complained about being charged for whole three months in advance.

Many people have asked us about cancelling your subscription plan and getting a refund from Skype. Today we will post a step by step tutorial (information guide), on how you can cancel your monthly subscription plan with Skype so that you are no longer charged by them.

Good thing is that even though your subscription has been cancelled, you are allowed to use the remaining minutes until they expire.

Skype Refund : Cancel Subscription

Cancel Skype Subscription | Cancel Recurring Payments

- Login to your Skype account on your computer
- Click Skype above (at the top) and choose Account.
- Once the account window opens up on screen, choose the subscription feature (which you wish you cancel).
- Check your subscription plans and see if its correct. Now click settings there.
- Select Cancel Subscription
- Keep on confirming for cancellation of your subscription.
- You will receive a confirmation mail from Skype about the cancellation.

Though we not recommend that you stop your subscription with Skype (as it is a really a good service), but anyways the cancellation thing is also quite easy.

Getting Refund with Skype

You can ask for a refund of your Skype Credit within 15 days from its purchase, but only if you haven’t used it.  You can ask for a refund of your subscription if you haven’t used it and it hasn’t expired.
  1. Click this link, enter your Skype Name and password, then click Sign me in.
  2. Select the help topic Payments and the related problem Refund requests.
  3. At the bottom of the page, click Continue support request.
  4. Select how you’d like to contact : Email support or Chat support.
  5. If you click Send an email, enter your details (include skype username and NOT password) and describe your problem, then click Send support request.
  6. If you click Start a chat, enter your Skype Name and email address, select the general topic you need help with, then choose the type of problem you have. Click Start Chat to talk to one of our support representatives.
If you wish to cancel your Skype account completely (delete your account), then you will have to contact the Skype customer support. However again it is not needed (as Skype to Skype are always free).

If you are facing problem and difficulty in getting a refund from Skype, then please let us know.
If you have already mailed Skype support asking for refund and have not yet got (and its been more than 15 days), then we would suggest that you contact them on their Facebook page as well.

Hike Vs Whatsapp Application : Which is a better option ?

If you are having any smartphone, then you must have tried atleast one instant messaging (sms via internet) application. The most popular ones among a list of apps are Whatsapp, Viber, WeChat and now Hike as well (which is a recently launched app). Though Hike was launched recently but it has been most downloaded apps in past few months and it being considered as next big thing in field of voip.

Comparisons are done all over internet and Hike is being considered as perfect Whatsapp alternative. We have used both the application personally and then decided to compare the two evaluating them on various necessary (and useful add on features). Offcourse you can install and use both the application on your mobile, but with time one app will surely become your preferred choice (and other will get neglected). I mean we have so many social networking websites, but it is only Facebook which is a clear winner (twitter is also there but FB is way ahead).

Hike Vs Whatsapp

Avialability

Whatsapp is available for Android, iPhone, Nokia S40, Symbian Phones, Windows phone and people can even use it on PC and iPad as well.. In short it is available for almost all the gadgets.

Hike App is quite new (launched just few months back). It is currently available for Apple iPhone, Android Mobiles, Windows based phones (Lumia series etc) and Nokia Symbian phones. It is currently not available for Blackberry phones.

Whatsapp : 1, Hike : 0

Installation and Ease of use

Whatsapp is quite easy to install. It does not require to create any usernames or select passwords and pins. It is simple app which couples with your mobile number. It simply checks the friends on your address book and shows list of people using whatsapp. It has a very clean and easy to use interface.

Hike probably understood that its good to keep things simple. Similar to whatsapp, it also does not require any username or password. It also couples with mobile number and scan your address book to search for Hike contacts. Good thing is it also shows other friends (non Hike) and allows you to send free sms to them as explained below. I will probably give both a plus one on this aspect.

Whatsapp : 2, Hike : 1

SMS : Instant Messaging

Whatsapp is no doubt most used application now for sending text message, pictures and videos. It has been used by almost all smartphone users. However that does not make it the best app. Though it allows you to send the message to other whatsapp users for free, however you cannot send message to non whatsapp users.

Hike on the other hand, not only allows people to send free text message, pictures and videos to other Hike users, but you can send the sms to other non hike users as well. It gives free 100 message (India only) per month which can be utilized to send message to non hike users. Good thing is you can include such users in group chat as well.

Whatsapp : 2, Hike :2

Innovation : Future Updates

Whatsapp has been in the market for quite a long time now and it has understood what market needs (And what market can except and enjoy). But the thing is they have been quite the same from day 1. They offer free text message to other whatsapp users and that's it! It has been same till now, nothing new. They need to bring something new every now and then, otherwise people will get bored.

Hike has been in the market for just few months and man they are full of new things and ideas. It seems they have surveyed the market very nicely and exactly understand whats customer needs. They keep bringing new offers which actually attract people to join them. Their free recharge program was a big hit! Keep up the good work guys. And now their Hike2Post thing is pretty amazing (it allows you to send free pictures, videos as post to anyone in India).

Whatsapp : 2, Hike : 3

Cost of Application

Whatsapp is a paid application on iPhone. On Android Mobile it was offered for free (for an year) and after that they were expected to charge some money. However for most people they extended the free service for one more year. Still, Whatsapp is being considered as a paid application (though cheap but still not free).

Hike is a FREE App till now and lets say it will remain so. Currently they do not have any plan to make this application a paid one (how are they earning money ??)

Whatsapp : 2, Hike : 4

Overall both the apps are good. Considering Whatsapp already has a good customer base, it will be difficult for Hike to reach that number of users (may it will take some time). However Hike is certainly a very good application and its a must try from our side. 
 

Hike2Post : Send Free Post, Pictures, Videos to Anywhere in India (From Mobile)

Few days back we discussed about Hike Messenger application, its a multi platform instant messaging application (though quite similar to Whatsapp but much better) available for lot of devices. Started with the aim to provide connectivity to people, Hike Messenger App created a lot of hype among smartphone users. It is very very popular among Indian smartphone users as lot of its features are dedicated for Indian mobile users.

Most other messaging apps like Viber, WeChat etc allow messages to be sent to friends who are using the same app. However Hike is a step ahead from them, it allows people to connect with just anyone (even with people not using Hike), via hike2SMS feature. With hike2SMS, they enabled users to connect with not only their friends who used smartphones with 3G data packs, but also with those who used a feature phone with SMS.

Good news is Hike has now gone two steps ahead with the launch of Hike2Post. This feature is one of its kind and (not fully sure), but they are the first ones to offer such a feature. It enables you to message your friends through yet another channel – Post.

Check : Hike Vs Whatsapp : Which is better ?

Hike Messenger

Hike has tied up with the Indian Postal Service to enable hike users to send free messages via post. Now message your friends even if they don’t have a phone! That simply means that you can connect with just any and every person for free, even those living in remote villages with no mobile connectivity.

Text Post or Letter Post

You can simply write the message and give the Hike messenger the name and address of the person you want to send this message. Hike will print the message and post it to your destination.

Sending Images and Videos by Post for Free

Sending post is not just limited to text messages but you can also send pictures, videos. You can also send images and videos, and Hike will print those out or create audio/video tapes or CDs and DVDs and mail it to your friends.

Hike even cares about the environment, so all messages will be printed on 98% bio-degradable paper made of cattle manure by the rural enterprise, so in a way.

Hike2Post Steps on Android

Inorder to send post from Hike Messenger (on android mobile), open Hike and click left button at top. Click Rewards section.. Select hike2post (Get started)..
Enter your message and other details. After that click Done.

Hike Messenger Android App ScreenShots

My Review

I tried this application on my Galaxy and trust me I have started liking this application. The download procedure went pretty smooth and it was ready to use within few seconds (though I didn't like asking me to invite friends at the first time I started using it). Once logged in, I was surprised that many of my friends are already using Hike (it automatically shows list of friends using Hike).

It is just like using SMS messaging application built in your mobile. I found it pretty easy to use application and good thing is its very stable.

Making a group chat was so damn easy and it also shows (by varying colors) which friend are on Hike and which are not. But it does not matter because you can still include them on Group chat.

Hike Free SMS to Non Hike Members

Hike offers free 100 SMS per month (refills every 1st of month) which can be sent to mobile in India. This is a very useful feature and I kinda love this. I tried sending free sms to a friends mobile (who is not using Hike), good thing is these are also listed in friends list so sending message is easy (with the color you know they are not on Hike). Anyways I sent the SMS and it was received within seconds. It worked and it works pretty fast.

Hike included "Sent from Hike .. Download Hike from here .." in the message, but that's okay as long as it is free.
