A purple milestone celebration

Today’s mobile phone technology gives its users the convenience to get through their day-to-day activities. Take for example Viber, an application that connects millions of users worldwide through text, call and photo sharing for free. The app, with its trademark purple color, recently celebrated a milestone when it reached eight million Filipino users.

Viber CEO Talmon Marco arrived in Manila recently to join the festivities. In celebration of hitting that mark, the app company treated its loyal users to the most happening concerts in Manila recently — Zedd’s Moment of Clarity Tour and Otto Knows’ A Million Voices Tour at Republiq Club.

Zedd is a Russian-German DJ best known for his massive hit Clarity featuring English singer Foxes. Zedd’s other hit tracks include Spectrum and Stay The Night. Otto Knows, on the other hand, is a young Swedish DJ best known for his song Million Voices, and has been featured at all the major music festivals around the world including Ultra in Miami and Tomorrowland in Belgium.

With Viber, connecting with friends and attending the hippest events are made free, easy and now with a VIP experience! Users can now have Viber groups with up to 100 members and by simply showing their Viber app at these events, the loyal users will be treated to an exclusive skip-the-line access, discounted VIP tickets, and on-the-spot complimentary upgrades and free purple Viber shots while enjoying the night with their group of friends.

Recently, Viber announced the release of Viber 4.1 for Android and iPhone, which includes the full global launch of Viber Out, a new feature that allows users to make low-cost calls to any mobile or landline phone number.

Marco said, “Viber Out gives our millions of users a new way to use the app and ensures that they can reach any contact at any time. We will continue to improve the app, keeping our users connected at the most affordable rates possible.”

Viber Out joins the Viber Sticker Market as the app’s second paid feature. As part of this release, Viber added new stickers and will continue to add more content.

As the year comes to a close, Viber will continue to treat its loyal Filipino users to many more surprises. With the recent announcement of the Pantone Color of 2014 as “wild orchid,” it’s definitely looking like an awesome purple year for Viber!
