Viber vs LINE Free Calls & Messeges



Viber


Viber is a free application that enables free calls and text over VoIP, supported within 3G and Wifi, allowing users to make usually expensive international calls at no cost. Setup of Viber is easy after install. Enter your phone number and Viber will send a SMS text confirmation code to confirm the phone number. After that, calls and text to other Viber users are completely free .
Adding contacts on Viber is done by calling their phone if they are indeed Viber members, or an invitation can be sent through SMS text. The application contains a separate Viber list in-app. The interface is extremely easy, but it is a greeting change to other visually hefty VoIP applications.

The Best
  • Can be used easily
  • Free international calls and text messagesh
  • Speedy text response time
The Worst
  • Uses data connection
  • Saving  new contacts is a little confusing
  • Little delay in voice chat over WiFi

LINE



LINE is a Japanese based app that enables you to make free calls and send free messages to iPhone, Android and PCs meaning PC users can communicate with friends and family who are using PCs as well as Macs. However, LINE doesn't include video calling yet although you can send short video and audio messages.
Call quality using LINE is really good, sometimes this will depend on your internet connection and 3G network. LINE is also filled with emoticons (and with the option to buy more elaborate "stickers") to make messaging more amusing. This latter feature is particularly popular in Japan and has assisted make it in the most successful apps list on the application market.
In the first 7 months of  the application release in Japan, the developers claim LINE got over 100 million users which is very impressive. Until now, many iPhone and Android users have turned to WhatsApp for keeping in touch with friends and family but unlike LINE, WhatsApp has never been available for PC or Mac.


The Best
  • Excellent idea to mix chat and free calls
  • PC version available
  • Excellent design and usability
  • Works well for a lot of users
  • Short audio and video messages is available
The Worst
  • Video calling is not available
  • Too many junk stickers for Western users
